Co-Op
Revision Control
Thud. To summarize and paraphrase, centralized revision control is better than decentralized because it’s easier to implement and understand, and because it creates and enforces provably better development practices.
I talked to Michael about the Co-op and it looks like everything is going to work out just fine. Tomorrow, when Subversion 1.1 is actually finally installed, I’m going to set up a WebDAV repository using mod_auth_pam for access control and make it all happen. I’ve selected FSFS because BDB sucks major ass, causes locking problem, consistency, and permission problems and seems widely loathed. I’ve selected WebDAV because, even though it is slower and more complex, it will permit more interesting authentication scenarios. I’ve selected mod_auth_pam because, the password going over the network is less of a problem if it’s encrypted and I’d rather not have to maintain several separate password databases if one will do. I’ve selected subversion, because we happen to have a handy centralized server, and because Arch is a pain in the ass and I don’t imagine Monotone is less of one since we’d have to come up with our own way of exchanging the changesets. Plus, BitKeeper probably is better than all the others so we might as well use the best, most sophisticated centralized one, since centralized is better anyhow.
The Grudge
This is the best horror movie ever. Go see it.
Mastodon - Leviathan
This is a really, really good metal CD. I heartily recommend it.
Today
It rocked. I’m tired. See you assholes tomorrow.
