Thanks! that function is going to be useful as I start to make the docstring generation more automatic. Also the php repl is nice, no more typing "var_dump(expr)" any more! Now, if only I could get either "php -a" or your php_repl to not completely bomb out when I type something invalid :|

Fantastic!

Vaporfile itself is pretty S3 specific.. however, I'm planning on reworking it into a larger deploy plugin for Blogofile. A "blogofile deploy <target>" command will allow blogofile to upload and/or synchronize to a remote location via SSH,rsync,FTP,S3, or any other pluggable connection defined in a user's _config.py.

What's special about the NearlyFreeSpeech API? Would it be preferable to use that instead of rsync over SSH?

I agree, it's not mature yet, but it is becoming more-so every day through people like you taking the time to try it out and give valuable feedback.

The documentation is pretty technical at this point, and there doesn't really exist a very good end user guide. The docs will get cleaned up as we go, and once it get's closer to a 1.0 api-freeze I plan to release some screencast videos targeted for non-python people. But I agree with you, Blogofile's niche isn't for the non-nerd or non-technical minded. Code-wise, Blogofile is still pretty much a one man team who has a regular day-job, so it's slow going, but I don't plan on stopping until it's a rock solid platform.

Great looking blog by the way :)

Re: Resizing a LUKS / DM-Crypt / cryptsetup filesystem

I haven't tried since I wrote this, but I would think that it should still
work.

As long as you follow the backup directions first, you have nothing to lose
but an hour or so of your time to find out.

That is nice and clean! Love it.

Re: Distributing Jython Apps in a Single JAR file

EnigmaCurry — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 12:26:18 -0000

I'm assuming you're putting your jar dependencies in the /lib directory? The jars you put there should be automatically added to your classpath. Maybe one of your jar's has another dependency that you also need to put in the /lib directory?

Yes it does, and I mentioned the (-r) option. But I wanted something different than that. What I wanted was essentially a timeshifting service for shoutcast streams.

Re: Who owns your body?

EnigmaCurry — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 16:34:59 -0000

Oh my god, you found a spelling error. Thank you so much for correcting my errant ways. Now I must go back and reevaluate your entire argument because mine hinged purely on my abilities to spell.

But seriously, your cognitive dissonance is strong if you think that a voluntary society is equivalent to a commune. In fact, you're implying that you support some flavor of communal living by talking about "a continental nation of 300,000,000." I can only assume you're talking about the united States, which only takes up a portion of the continent known as North America. What really is the united States? It's defined by imaginary lines in the sand put there by people with guns, and whose "citizens" are people who supposedly owe some form of allegiance to the state, and who's only commonality between each other is that they were born within the same arbitrary geographical area. Why would I want such a thing?

Re: Who owns your body?

EnigmaCurry — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 15:26:36 -0000

If I was "literally spouting nonsense" you would not have responded.

Only a nihilist would require me to actually define the terms "own", "steal", "enslave", and "rightfully". Assuming you're not a nihilist, you must have thought I misapplied these terms somehow. Nothing you've said has persuaded me that I have.

> Do you want the police to protect [my body]

No. I would probably like to pay for the services of a security company, but I want to choose the company that I give my money to. If I owned a security firm, I would never force someone to pay for my "services". That's what the mafia does.

> Do you want to be allowed to use the roads that others have built?

Yes... and pay whatever the market price for those roads are, or maybe build my own road if I have the means to do so. If you're nice, maybe I'll even let you drive on it.

> How about money? Do you want to barter for everything? Or would legal tender ....

I don't think you know what money is. Money is simply a mutually agreed upon medium of exchange. Bartering is not money, legal tender is not money, not even a "gold standard" is money, not if you *don't have my consent*. Nothing compels you to do business with me, and I don't have to take your "money."

> If you want ANY of the benefits of not being a hermit (or a warlord??), you have to trade some of the perks of ownership of your body to get them.

I assume you're talking about the benefits of a society. Societies that are based on voluntary associations can be beneficial, even desirable. Ones based on forced associations are not beneficial and are immoral.

> Would you like your contracts to be enforced by something other than the gun in your pocket?

Everything a government does is enforced with the gun. It's not me who's the violent one, regardless of whether or not I have a gun in my pocket.

To reiterate, I'm proposing a voluntary society, one in which people persuade others to do business with them to their mutual betterment. Violence is the refuge of the incompetant. I am not incompetant.

Hey, here's the code on github: http://github.com/enigmacur...

The problem was that I hadn't touched that code in over 5 years and when I switched webservers the link died.

Nope, it won't dye things that are already black. But in the case of white keys that's a bonus: the black letters on my keys show right through the red dye.

Also, apparently the type of plastic matters quite a bit too. Cheap ABS will probably melt on contact, and some harder plastics, especially the case of the Model M are immune to the dye. I was planning on dying the whole case but apparently I'll have to use a vinyl dye for that instead.

My wife has one of these: http://store.apple.com/us/p...

I can't stand it. It feels essentially like a laptop keyboard to me, which those were always about compromise: space over usability. I guess if one is mainly used to laptop keyboards and they use their desktop as their secondary computer, then maybe this kind of keyboard makes them feel at home.

This is the only apple keyboard I could see myself ever using: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... or this modern version of the same: http://matias.ca/tactilepro/

At least that one has a tactile feel to it.

Nope, looks like it's really down now.

I'll edit the post to reflect this change

Re: My Extravagant Zsh Prompt / Steve Losh

EnigmaCurry — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:54:38 -0000

There's definitely a balance to be considered here. You're right about one thing, we're all short on time, and we should always think twice before attempting to do something the "right way" when that method will take an order of magnitude more of our time/resources than an existing solution.

But like the OP said: "30 minutes (or even 3 hours) of customization to make your work easier for the rest of your life (or at least however long you stay with your current shell) is worth it."

The question is, does this particular solution balance in our favor?

Why use Emacs when notepad (gedit, text-edit, what-have-you) exists? Sure, there's a learning curve, it's not installed by default, but the productivity gains are astronomical.

I'm looking at zsh for the first time today, and I'm intrigued, maybe it could make me more efficient, maybe not, but I'm not ready to be as prejudiced as you are and say "defaults, always!"

The installation seems really easy and repeatable: wget http://github.com/robbyruss... -O - | sh ... one command that installs your environment on any unix machine with an internet connection.. seems pretty easy to me.

I considered the droid too, in fact, seeing a coworkers droid doing navigation was one of the reasons I started looking at the android platform in the first place. However, wanting to get a family plan with data on two phones, tmobile just completely blows away verizon's pricing. So having the nexus one on tmobile pretty much eclipsed the droid on verizon.

The Pre certainly looks like it's running good software, but wanting to also develop for the phone, the singular web-programming style of development on the Pre just doesn't have the same allure for me as the multitude of options on the android: Java managed, Web, Native C/C++ with JNI, and of course the Android Scripting Environment [Python!]

Good luck with the Blog! Nice to see another Blogofile user :)

Blogofile 0.6 should be released before the new year, so keep checking back.

Re: Multi-TTY Emacs on Gentoo and Ubuntu

EnigmaCurry — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:15:57 -0000

Hi, this is a pretty old post by now. The preload_emacs script is not necessary any more. Emacs has a --daemon option that runs Emacs in the background now, it's the preferred way of doing this now.
