A Personal Blog of Anthony Bortolotto. How to create a FreeBSD virtual machine for VMware. Firstly I start with a fresh install of FreeBSD 8.1 AMD DVD with the standard configuration options with SSH enable although this can be done from the console. Ssh your.servername.com. And su to root. I then add WITHOUT X11=yes to the /etc/make.conf so as little as possible X packages are installed. Then I install the following packages. Pkg add -r bash. Pkg add -r sudo. Pkg add -r screen. Pkg add -r wget. Vmware g...

Importing Legacy Data in Rails. How Did we Get Here? Project is a long-overdue rebuild of a critical business system as a modern Rails web app. We're building this thing according to agile practices to the best of our ability. Each week we provide a new, working release that is an incremental improvement on the last. We're not looking to replace the current system in a single swoop, and expect the new system to work alongside the old one for quite a while. And it is now available on GitHub. Class Legacy:...

2012 in Review — Tim Riley
http://openmonkey.com/blog/2013/01/01/2012-in-review
This was a year marked by two new worlds: Garmisch. And I spent six months living in the Philippines. And two in Hong Kong. We experienced the full stretch of the urban spectrum; from the wide blue skies, leisurely pace (and mild chaos) of a provincial tropical island, through to Hong Kong's unending bustle and its dense, concrete verticality. On what's important, and on how we run our lives from here (Hint: there's still a little more exploring to do! And Tasmania in November for Railscamp 12. In Melbou...

2010 in Review — Tim Riley
http://openmonkey.com/blog/2011/01/05/2010-in-review
2010 was one of my most exciting and productive years yet, working with great people to build some products that I'm truly proud of. When I look back, I hope that this summary will help remind me that it was the start of something amazing. This year I was able to enjoy a developer's greatest pleasure, many times over: shipping. First came the year's most significant milestone for me: after 18 months of work on weekends and evenings, we finally launched RentMonkey. About that particular whirlwind). It...

New podcasts — Tim Riley
http://openmonkey.com/blog/2014/11/6/new-podcasts
I've enjoyed a couple of new podcasts lately:. Podcast finds people in interesting jobs and interviews them about their workdays. It's brand new. The first episode with Stephen Colbert was fantastic. The show is short and dense. David Plotz as the host (along with some helpful editing, I'm sure) gets the guest talking (they usually have a lot to say) and then gets out of the way. I've appreciated finding another non-tech podcast to keep in my roster. Written by Tim Riley. November 6, 2014.
