If you rename and modify a file in the same commit, you will loose its history: http://sourceware.org/ml/frysk/2008-q1/msg00004.html You have to do a commit just with the rename operation (identical file contents), and then modify it. Sheesh, good to know about that! I recall I had a similar problem with Subversion once… I think it was [...]

neat programming note
Posted in english, tagged , development, haha only serious, nerd on Sunday, December 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Cool, I just found out that the POWER ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) specification has a programming note with a big excerpt from the Gulliver’s Travels (it’s in page 52 on v2.05 of the ISA) to explain where the terms “big endian” and “little endian” come from. I knew it came from there, but I had [...]
mobília / furniture

Eu achava que meu apartamento já estava completo em termos de mobília, com a relativamente recente aquisição da mesa de jantar. Mas hoje percebi que ainda falta uma coisa: a piscina de bolinhas. Aparentemente, este cara foi o primeiro a ter coragem de implementar a idéia do quadrinho. I thought my apartment had all the [...]
a couple of git hints
Posted in english, tagged development, git, hint, open source, version control on Friday, November 9, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Today I just discovered a new command in git which should be very useful: git-stash, which is new in git 1.5.3. It’s great for those moments when git complaints about your modified tree, but you don’t want to commit anything yet. Now you can throw your currently uncommited changes into the drawer, work in something [...]
wonderful world of makefiles

Did you know… … that “after reading in all makefiles, make will consider each as a goal target and attempt to update it. If a makefile has a rule which says how to update it (found either in that very makefile or in another one) or if an implicit rule applies to it (see Using [...]
free music

n the last few months, I’ve been into searching and listening to free music (I don’t think it’s fair to pirate music and I don’t want to depend just on CDs and radio to hear new songs). Anyway, I’ve found some real good stuff and I’d like to share them and promote these bands.The biggest [...]
keeping track of timezones
Posted in english, tagged hint, kde, linux on Saturday, December 2, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Working in the LTC means working with people spread around the globe. Or at least at a few different timezones… I just found out about this feature in KDE which I suspect will become very handy for me from now on: have the taskbar’s clock show the time in different timezones: To enable it, just [...]
scenes from the open source world

It’s well known that code review and discussions during development of new functionality are strong points of the open source development methodology. Here’s a fine example of this practice: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=116326731410199&w=2 And here’s a practical example on how to present your arguments on a mailing list discussion: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=116076869107136&w=2 </tongue-in-cheek>
Jamendo: Open your ears

Searching for some free, legal music to download, I came across Jamendo, and I really liked it. From the website itself: “Jamendo is a new model for artists to promote, publish, and be paid for their music. On jamendo, the artists distribute their music under Creative Commons licenses. In a nutshell, they allow you to [...]
