revision control

One of my big projects right now is to get my school newspaper online. Like most things I do, I have some thoughts on how to do this right that are going to necessitate me writing my own software to do it.


One of the tougher things to work out with stuff like this (given the stateless nature of the web) is locking. A couple minutes ago I got a crazy idea to do away with locking and take a cvs-style approach to the whole situation (possibly even using cvs for article storage). I don't know for sure if it'll work yet, but if nothing else it'll be a fun little effort. I'm a big fan of cvs, so it would be cool to put it to use here.

It's about time to start my Christmas list... Any of these would be a good start.

Indy games

Today I downloaded a couple old games for the Indy I've got sitting on my desk. Fun stuff. Right now I'm trying to take a shot at mastering Lumbus, a game controlled via your head. It uses image analysis on the IndyCam to attempt and determine the 3d movement of your head. Crazy stuff.

I'm proud of myself. I just wrote my first Perl/GTK app that actually does something useful. For a while I've been meaning to write a little app to edit MP3 ID3 tags, so now I have a little app to do just that (as well as change the info in the db, so it shows up on this site). Fun fun. And it basically all worked first go.
