Muntzed

It’s a perfect storm of sorts. We can’t build anything because the NAS is out of space. Deleting directories on the NAS generates snapshots. Snapshots are stored on the NAS. The more directories that get deleted, the more snapshots are created. So the builds continue to fail. #FML

Keeping up

I’ve replicated a goodly bit of build infrastructure at the home front now and have poked holes into the LAN so it is available to the outside world. It’s a bit exciting if you’re into this kind of thing.

Confluence:

Stash:

Jenkins:

Tomcat:

Apache:

Artifactory:
Need to set up port forwarding first

I still haven’t decided on the bug/issue tracking software I want to use. I’ll probably fork over the $10 for the Jira 10 user license. After all, I’ve already forked over $20 for the Confluence and Stash licenses. Having an issue tracker is going to be way nicer than trying to load the whole of a project into my brain whenever I get a chance to work on things.

Another cool thing I discovered is that Confluence now has Evernote integration. Damn it’s good to be an Atlassian Gangsta.

The new phonebook

The new Growl is here! The new Growl is here!

Oh, wait, it’s now a paid application? But it’s open source.

So now we’re in dependency hell because there’s no Maven-like dependency management widget in Xcode. Also, knowing full well I’m behind the times, I still prefer SVN to either Git or Mercurial. I understand how both of these are more desirable in OSS development initiatives. I just don’t like them.

Oh, and so what is up with Google now running all of their search result links through their own proxy now? I really dislike the extraneous metadata they attach to their links now. It’s also a PITA to clean up because, bless their hearts, they are actually HTTP escaping their URLs. Now one right-clicks a search result link and gets http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdictionary.reference.com%2Fbrowse%2Fstupid&ei=rge4TqGZDYnhsQKCndT_Aw&usg=AFQjCNGEqQexn968lheIsBKwJ37dIe1d9Q when all one really wants is http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stupid.

For some reason this running all search results through their proxy really pisses me off. I’d expect this from Microsoft. Coming from Google, this feels icky and gamable. So, off to find some Greasemonkey or Firefox plugin that scrapes that metadata while I continue to try building Growl.

I don’t even know what is so desirable about this new version…. FML?
