Robot Has No Heart

A robot that does not have a heart

Day of days

I shouldn’t read Joel On Software, it makes me covetous. Between no LCDs, a dodgy chair, Delphi 6, PVCS, motivation is waning at work. I must have raved about Subversion enough though – we have a meeting on Monday to discuss switching over. Nov 24 I finish. Can’t wait until I’m free of these commitments so I can start chasing some choice projects.

Just had an amusing chat with mum about the internets, why people would be interested on the “tripe” on my website, why if you google my name you get “private conversations” I’ve had.

Which made me realise I’ve lost my #1 google spot to some posts I made on the Oracle forums while at Swinburne. Freaking Oracle.

Today’s awesome Ruby on Rails link: Declarative Permissions. Just added it to a project I’m working on, and in less than an hour had a full authorization model going. Very pretty.

    At my new job, the single main reason I can’t use my Mac for everything I do is that code lives in an VSS repository, and the version we use doesn’t have a Mac client. I’m told the newer version supports WebDav, and thus accessible from the Mac, but that would require a new license (and money).

    But if I too could get everyone to convert to SVN…

    I switched ITS from VSS to subversion, so you have a precedent…
