Mario Ðanić has another interesting post about distributed version control systems. He proposes that each developer (or at least, every maintainer) could use the DVCS of their choice, but then we could have a common web/collaboration interface to all the DVCSs.

My current favorite way of developing against a stable release:

$ cat ~/bin/make-nautilus
#!/bin/sh
module_name=nautilus
diff_name=~/suse/11.0/src/SOURCES/nautilus-document-centric.diff
anchor_name=OPENSUSE_11_0_PATCHES
branch_name=document-centric
cd ~/src/$module_name
git diff $anchor_name..$branch_name > $diff_name
cd ~/suse/11.0/src/SPECS
if rpmbuild -ba $module_name.spec
then
    cd ../RPMS/i586
    gnomesu rpm -Uvh --force *$module_name*
    notify-send -t 0 "$module_name is installed now"
else
    notify-send -t 0 "$module_name doesn't build!"
fi

In my Landmark workshop we were talking about problems. About how, in life, there are problems. And since we are not going to be living a life without problems, it is best to live with problems which inspire you and you want to work on, as opposed to those that just irritate you. That, in conjunction with some talk about community projects, got me thinking about my involvement in Stand for Children again. Last week I was talking about that to one of the other students in my group, and that conversation wrapped up with her saying "That kind of work is important, but I don't get how it inspires you."

The next day I had lunch with Rachel, head of Portland's Stand chapter. After she'd caught me up on the current agenda and the ballot measures coming up this fall, she too asked about my motivations. "It's not typical behavior," she said. "What inspired you, after just hearing about Stand, to go to a day-long workshop in Woodburn? What motivated you to call me and talk about setting up a team for Woodlawn?"

So I tried to remember what I was thinking when I went to that workshop in '06, and we talked about that, and my own experiences as a student in Portland Public. That was a good conversation, but at the end of it I still couldn't explain what I was doing in any eloquent or even particularly focused way.

The next morning on my ride in to work I got it: I want kids to be excited about learning. I want people to be excited about their education.

That's it. That's what I'm shooting for. Put it on my Amazon wishlist, send it in a letter to Santa. But He helps those who help the elves, so...

Time to go hunt some elves.

Mr. Sun: Bobby Sox To Stockings

The notion of metaphorical transition from wearing bobby socks to stockings is anachronistic in this day and age, yet, with 50s' innocence, Frankie Avalon sings "Bobby Sox To Stockings" in this video (standard or high-quality):
