Let Them Fight: My Thoughts on #Googacle
It's wonderful to have the Oracle vs Google trial in San Francisco, so I can have the mental image of Google's Bugdroid and Java's Duke laying waste to the city like Godzilla and the MUTOs. Because, ultimately, that's what this is; two kaiju companies fight...

To quote the person that brought this to my attention (and some comments):

"Hope you weren't using screen. or tmux. or nohup. or, well, unix semantics."

" so ... to run anything persistent when you're logged off they expect you to run it as an ad-hoc systemd service?"

"Oh no not even that"

"they have to be run as an ad-hoc systemd service with special flags being set if you want them to persist past logout"

Fuck you systemd maintainers. WTF. Seriously.

tl;dr: What belongs on a developer website?

Below is my page as the public has seen it for about seven years. Clearly, I have not seen changing this site as a valuable use of my time.

I'm beginning to rethink that, in oh so many ways. Should I keep it where it is? (probably not) Should I use the work-related page I have? (probably not) Should I use GitHub hosting? Should I use blogging platform like Tumblr or Blogspot? (less emphatically probably not, but probably not) Should I get a Digital Ocean VM or something and host from there?

I'm at the point of deciding I'll make it static, template-generated and the like. If there's no dynamic content, there's no point of attack.

Which leads to the next question: What goes on a developer site? What is the point?

Most developer sites I see are blogs. I do blog. My tech-related blog is /var/log/rant and my music-related blog is Sans Direction. I don't want that to be my main face, because that requires me to either blog a lot or let it seem not current and abandoned. Certainly pointers to places where I am active (blogs, various social media outlets) is more the thing. But I'm curious about what I should put.

Also, most developer sites I see are based on the aesthetics of earlier points in the evolution of the web. Like, "that developer stopped caring in 2005" or the like.

So, what are the crucial must-haves for a developer site? What are the that's-good points? What should I absolutely not do?

Death of a Project
Years ago, I learned some R . When I was doing so, I had decided to move from just being a vi man to trying something a little more modern, so I was using ActiveState 's KomodoEdit. A problem was that KomodoEdit had syntax highlighting for many languages, b...

I have opened the door for LTL to dwindling membership for a while, to a steady state of just three of us.

This depresses me.

On suggestion of Mikel, we moved to a first-and-third Mondays of the month, contrasted with Nehemiah's second-and-fourth for coding in the MatchBox.

But, due to lack of interest and activity, Nehemiah stopped having those events, so the point of having that schedule passed. I could easily switch back to bi-weekly, or more often, if there was interest, but I do not believe there is interest.

My belief is that there's no "there" for LTL, no reason to get together while the 3D printer is broken. For a good portion of the group, the conversations about making things that occurred in the basement of GLC now take place with most of the same participants in the offices of RCAC.

So, right now, I am looking for arguments for continuing with Lafayettech Labs. If you can think of a reason to keep going, please tell me.

Note for later: I know Garageband keyboard bindings are Space, R and Return for play/stop, record and go to beginning. For Audacity, it's Space, R and Home. So, easy to change.

My Arduino-based three-button floor keyboard is moving forward. I have a pedal wired up and it works, except that it doesn't seem to give up the signal. On is on, off turns off after three seconds.

That doesn't seem right.

Forgot to write this last Monday, but I installed AutoHotKey to allow me to block "H", "i" and newline, which kept the program I want to install on my Trinket from being corrupted before I could install. So, win.

Except programming a Trinket is a bit of a juggling act, and I can't get it all to align. BUT my fake Leonardo fits in the pedal. I have one switch in the enclosure, so I'll pull it out and write sample code to see how it behaves before too long.

So, progress.
