I’m kind of feeling bad for not blogging lately. The site is not getting much of my attention over the last few months. I’m playing a lot with git, a version control tool and figuring out how it plays with SVN, the SCM we use at work. I’m most [...]

Chyrp is a blogging engine designed to be very lightweight while retaining functionality. It is driven by PHP and MySQL (with some AJAX thrown in), and has a pimpin’ theme and module engine, so you can personalize it however you want.

Its been really slow up here lately and its been bugging me. The problem is, I’m generating a ton of content but most if it is for work. Things have been extremely busy and by the time I get home and open up Ecto to get a blog post done, I’m [...]

I finally upgraded my Subversion installation on my MacIntosh to the 1.4 version. I was waiting for the “official” packages to come out so that I could just install it, but in looking at the different places recommended by the downloads page, these distributions haven’t been updated since early 1.3 releases.

Tonight I came across the beta version of BAStats, by Owen Winkler. The package is [...]
