Amazon EC2
In an effort to understand what all this cloud computing business was about, I set up an Amazon EC2 account today.

Firefox 3
My first impression is that it's quite a lot faster, and it supports the new version of the completely indispensible vimperator plugin (don't bother clicking if you don't know what vim is). This version of vimperator adds a bunch of useful things; I'm most pleased with the fact that C-u now clears the line as it should, rather than opening the source window which it used to do.

Shell history
This is a silly post to document what linux commands we use the most. I got it from here. (With zsh you have to run:
history 0|awk '{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}'|sort -rn|head)

git tricks
This page will hold any cool tricks I've found or come up with using git.

Site Structure
As I'm sure you've not noticed, I've switched from the unwieldy YY/MM to YYYY/MM/DD format. This should only break a few things. And it was just a matter of renaming the folders on my drive thanks to the msls cms.

Asus eee
I'm writing this post from an Asus eee. It's quite a responsive little thing, though it didn't seem to like when I added some Debian repositories and installed preload on it.

git-todo.py
git-todo.py is a modified version of todo.py that syncs every change you make with a git repository.

Git
I'll resist the apparently irresistible urge which faces the internet on a daily basis: to pun on the name of this fast version control system (though at gunpoint I'd probably choose 'Git back to where you once belonged').

Museless now powered by Python
I spent a day or two rewriting the museless CMS in python instead of BASH. It now takes about .10 seconds to generate the whole site, rather than 2-3. This obviously has scalability ramifications.

The Decline of the Album
Singles are up, but albums are down. Can't say it's very surprising, as this has been a decline that's forty years in the making. Digital music has simply sealed the albums' fate, not radically changed its direction.

Utility and futility
Given any task, I'm all for efficiency and optimization. But in terms of what task to do, I'm less rigorous. This may well be a character flaw, and it's something I've been thinking about because I've been getting flak on IRC for mentioning the fact that I'm writing my own content management. People are accusing me of 'reinventing the wheel,' but my view of it is, if I don't like the way the wheel works, why wouldn't I make my own?

Tag Cloud
So I've implemented according to this, my very own tag cloud. Works nicely in both opera and elinks.

The beauty of rsync
So I toss this site up via rsync, which is basically my favourite way of transferring files, period. I currenly upload this site with rsync, and I just opened an account at rsync.net.

Initiation
This is the first post using my own CMS system. I don't really have a name for it, currently it's just some BASH scripts that concatenate snippets of HTML and CSS. This index shows the last five entries, the archive shows them all, newest first. I'll add more features as I think of them.
