It’s time for some system maintenance. I’m upgrading the main box to Ubuntu 14.04. This needs to be done on a weekend because I’ll curse and fight with various Theme and UI changes. The OSX box is integrated enough thanks to Firefox sync and gmail that I can live online while cursing.
I was invited to promote Shoes 3.2 on the shoesrb.com website. Just fork that project, add my html to their html and issue a github pull request. And install jekyll and configure that and debug what was cloned and commit those changes as well as the 3.2 words. Sheesh. That’s heavy price for a simple change or two. I know, I know, it’s all setup with best practices for OSS developers expectations and all kinds of infrastructure I should care about. 10 years ago I would agree. Not so much anymore.
That’s why Shoes 3.2 is a one man project and I have my own website for Shoes 3.2. Communication is important but irc/chatrooms are for developers’ internal musings and not for potential users of an ‘educational’ app.
I’m the old fart in the slow lane.
