TransProCalc, Google Code & fun with Subversion

anthonyebaldwin@yahoo.com — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:31:31 +0100

A few days ago, as mentioned, I initiated the process of moving TransProCalc onto google code, feeling that it was time to dust off the project and move forward with it. I had merely signed the project up at that time, so, last night, before my brain turned to complete jello after spending the day slogging through the translation of some pretty heavy Brazilian academic articles, I took some time to configure the google code pages for the project, make a couple of wiki pages, upload the currenRead More...

mfidelman@kelmarpartners.com — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:13:00 +0100

Do wonderful things

paul@reiber.org — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:04:03 +0100

I've been using UNIX and Linux and Vi and Vim (and loads of other tools) for a VERY long time; nearly 3 decades (which is Eons, on the Internet clock!). And I've been using the Internet the whole time as well. I used WAIS and gopher and other similar tools until Mosaic arrived and changed everything.

So, as a result, I have more "blogs" and "websites" and "profiles" and "accounts" than I can even remember. I tried once to put them all in one place: http://bit.lyRead More...

nidhi.ost@gmail.com — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:00:34 +0100
