Anyone know who the current maintainer of ruby-mode.el is? I found and fixed a bug wrt indention and string.split(/=/). http://is.gd/7q4iYX

Paul Visscher

Someone should make IsTheDailyShowNewThisWeek.com.

I get happy when I find a website where cypherpunks/cypherpunks works.

Today is a sad day. The one person I thought would never succumb to the cult of mac has fallen. RIProprietarySoftware, @macros

Paul Visscher

Oops, lol. RT @joernchen: It's again advisory time: http://t.co/NDsmagZ1 also: #sudo *facepalm* http://t.co/4ByStkMf

Paul Visscher Bradley M. Kuhn

@bkuhn You should write a blog post about it.

I know the whole "Shit #{foo} people say" thing is kind of played out, but this is pretty funny. Shit programmers say: http://is.gd/i8lr84

I don't think I've run ./configure && make so many times since I was trying to get Gnome pre-1.0 built from CVS in 1998.

Paul Visscher Bradley M. Kuhn

@bkuhn I don't think so.

Paul Visscher

Maybe all my ruby version teeth gnashing will go away once rails 4.0 is released (which will drop support for < 1.9.3). More likely, worse.

Paul Visscher Bradley M. Kuhn

@bkuhn Jason is there, too, FWIW. I don't think he is giving any talks, though.

Paul Visscher

But you have to make sure you get the right dependencies. It's kind of moot, though, because gem is just going to shit on everything anyway.

Paul Visscher Jason Cook

I think @macros was right. The best way to install 1.9.3 on ubuntu/debian is to build it from source & make debs with fpm.

Paul Visscher

Hm. Maybe it would be better for business if I didn't publicly announce when my own dogfood is down.

Paul Visscher

Given our special snowflake needs, we're in a pretty good place wrt hosting, I think. Though I wish our remote hands were closer to the DC.

Paul Visscher

Professionally I don't have to get unanimous agreement to change things, but I do on the server my friends and I run.

Paul Visscher

I wouldn't make the same choices in a professional context. A VPS is fine for a business but personally I don't like the security tradeoffs.

Paul Visscher

I feel like such a bad sysadmin when my personal server goes down for such a long time.

Paul Visscher

*sigh* In addition to panacea being down all day today, it will be down most of tomorrow. I hope no one needed to contact me via email.

Paul Visscher

Just closed 100 file-backed buffers in emacs. I still have 370 open.
