Slow (but decent) Remote File Repo Duplicator:
Ever wanted an easier way to "wget" an entire URL? Well I created a way that will do it using a small script. You can find it here, but I will warn you it's a bit slow.
Free Linux Journal? (03/09/09):
Want to take a stab at a free 1 year digital subscription to Linux Journal? Check out this link.
Noteasaurus (01/12/09):
Tracking post it notes can be a pain so why not streamline your life and do it through an online webservice like Noteasaurus? Noteasaurus is a new web application from a group of friends. It's not officially launched yet, but we're getting there...
Testpert (11/18/08):
You too can be a Python testing magician! I've started working on a dynamic continous Python test executor called Testpert. You can find the source here or soon on Google Code.
FUTURE APP (10/24/08):
I've started poking around with a component for DigiCo that I'm working on with Russ from iWouldRather. Stay tuned for a pre-alpha release in a few months...
NEW APP (10/24/08): ContextSwitch
I've posted the alpha-0.1 version of ContextSwitch. It is a very very basic task management application that I'm in the process of improving and securing. Currently you will not get an e-mail after you sign-up but I should be adding that this coming weekend (10/25/08).
UPDATE (10/24/08): Mixpy
Mixpy is a take off of KernelMaker but will most likely be written in Python. I will be doing the same stuff with KernelMaker in Mixpy but also ideally adding on a feature to auto-detect hardware (as best as possible) and enable you to "auto-select" features from the kernel config file and build an "optimized" kernel for your box.
UPDATE (10/24/08): Site Design #1
The first iteration of the redesigned site is up. I'm going to make more adjustments on the home page and in other areas soon.
TIME PASSES (10/24/08): Life Adjustments
Because of life changing events like Odin Nicoli's arrival in March 2009 I've had to scale back my work with Fedora. In fact I feel bad that I haven't posted updates to Mrxvt or Astyle for a while, but that's how the cookie crumbles I guess. In the mean time, I will be working on my thesis "Mixpy" for the forseeable future as well as awaiting the arrival of our first born.
FACELIFT (10/06/08): FaceLift
When I get some time this coming week and weekend I'm going to start working on a re-design of this site. Fun stuff! In the mean time you can check out ContextSwitch.
UPDATE (10/02/08): Awesome Site
So while working on a school project late at night I stumbled upon an awesome site very similar to an idea I had a while back and had no time to act on. Thank goodness someone else is working on making the world a better place one step at a time. Check it out!.
UPDATE (08/19/08): Hooray for Phenom Tri-Cores
Long time no update. The machine this site was running on died a while back, *sniffle*...but now it's finally back up! Hooray for phenom tri-cores being really cheap nowadays! I'm starting a site re-design so watch out for an update. Also, I took my blog down because ummm...blogs kind of suck.
UPDATE (11/28/07): mrxvt 0.5.3
Thanks to nirik in #fedora-devel@irc.freenode.net I was able to work through an issue with building the latest mrxvt. I was a dumb dumb and didn't follow the doc properly. Shame on me. Anyway, I'm super busy with stuff and right now, love Androids! Get the latest mrxvt here or be square!
UPDATE (10/10/07): littlehat-0.2
Well, well...littlehat is in the wild! I've managed to create my first "distro" of sorts and it's called "littlehat." littlehat will get much better but for now you can download it, boot to a prompt and use google as the root password. I will work on getting it trimmed down and will probably add a few other tweaks including a new package manager in the near future. I will publish build scripts soon too!
UPDATE (09/08/07): Blog and kernelMaker:
I installed my blog today. I also worked on my kernelMaker a little bit. Now I'm off to go work on an article, school and the frankencluster...
UPDATE (08/27/07): Debian Slug and Office Cam:
So I got my debian slug running and setup my cam in my office window.
UPDATE (08/26/07): Updates on summer tasks:
I'm going to start writing for LinuxJournal, now how cool is that?
I've written a small program to download and install new kernels for folks that are interested in helping test new kernel builds. It's not totally done yet, but it's quite close. I've called it kernelMaker. The need for such a program sprung from a speech Andrew Morton gave at LinuxWorld 2007 this year, so I figured I'd throw my hat in the "ring" to see what I could do with Perl.
I've also started to write a testbed monitoring and deployment utility using usbip.
UPDATE (07/30/07): iPhone vs. OpenMoko and Fedora Update:
mrxvt and astyle are both in Fedora updates as of a few weeks ago. I will be posting an update for mrxvt soon, depending upon when the development team releases their next tarball.
The people at FedoraUnity.org thought up an ambitious idea: "...if data access rates are good enough (usb 1.1 right now) we are going to work on putting a xen guest on the neo and booting the xen guest on a remote (over usb) hypervisor to have a "traveling" virtual machine." That would be wicked once it gets working!
I'm planning on interviewing someone special today for OB1, a local Cleveland technology show. In the mean time, you can checkout my developing iPhone vs. OpenMoko review.
UPDATE (07/07/07): astyle:
Weee!!! I've finished with getting astyle into F-7 testing! I've also managed to build astyle for FC-6, and F-8.
UPDATE (07/04/07): akamaru:
I've built a set of RPMS for akamaru.
UPDATE (07/04/07): createBuildEnv.sh and astyle:
So I built a neat little rpm tool. It's a simple shell script that let's you specify where to place your RPM buildroot, what group and owner you want to have on the directories, create your buildroot, delete your buildroot, and also install and remove rpms related to building rpms. You can clone the git-repo or download the tool. Please let me know what you think!
Evidently, I might also be a co-maintainer for the astyle RPM. I've updated astyle to 1.21.
UPDATE (07/03/07): Updates on summer tasks:
UPDATE (06/03/07): Updates on summer tasks:
UPDATE (05/21/07): I'm working on a few things this summer:
UPDATE (01/14/07):
I've added a flag to livecd-creator that you can use to dictate where to build your livecd. Of course this will not eliminate the actual iso being generated in your present working directory. If you do not specify the --build-dir flag when you call livecd-creator it will use the old default of using /var/tmp/livecd-creator. The main improvement, beyond the addition of the --build-dir flag is the space check. This new version of livecd-creator will verify you have at least three gigabytes of free space before continuing. If you don't it will quit and ask you to add more space, or specify a different directory. Have fun!
You can find the new (and unofficial) version of livecd-creator here: livecd-creator .
The current git diff.
UPDATE (01/14/07)
CANCELLED: Fix the kernel module "bug" in livecd-creator and find out how to dynamically generate a list of kernel modules to include.
Potential Bug: Apparently the livecd-creator script doesn't totally cleanup after itself. We need to look at the teardown() method and see why it is failing. This occurs using the original and my modified livecd-script.
I've created a few mrxvt rpms that include the recent patch. You can get the source rpm or the regular i386 rpm. If you have a need for other archs, please let me know! ( gnome (*a*t) dux-linux (dOT) o-r-g ) Enjoy!
