I decided to forego CTV’s feature presentation ‘Shrek’ (I’ve never seen the movie before) and did some coding for the company. I ended up with an ‘autoupdate’ feature and some other small improvements. Earlier this day, ABC had speed skating … Continue reading →

I have been busy the last couple of days at work: son once in a while my collegues could here me yelling ‘Why Do They Hate Us’ repeatedly. Also the weather seems to be working along: it was cold last … Continue reading →

I had a fun time installing CVS at work, meaning a chrooted pserver. I should have been looking into adding SSH into the process, but couldn’t be bothered. A couple of notes installing a pserver CVS. Do follow the instructions … Continue reading →
