Saturday, April 21, 2012. Android - be discerning at the lower end (part 3). For the past 2 years, I have been following the specification / price combination of android tablets. In particular the £150 - £200 price range, which will compete with netbooks in your purchasing choice. In part 1 of this series I defined a set of specs to reach for:. 3D Graphics support ( OpenGL ES. SD card slot (or microSD at a push). Android 2.3 or later (includes WebM support). Sub £200 dual core . Android 4.0 or later.

Monday, November 12, 2012. Clone at revision - Git and Mercurial. This is possible in both Git and Mercurial, although one seems a bit more involved. Git - clone THEN reset or checkout:. Git reset - hard 754bda21cbc5c9044daf7f968fb9b4ffae39e334. Mercurial - just do it:. Hg clone -r 34dea6ddb0b927dc223c8cdbab4314a3aac355a7 https:/ bitbucket.org/wrightsolutions/local-bin. In the screenshot above, I have cloned as described, and then removed the repo and done a full clone. Hg clone -r sha1 source repo.

Sunday, April 21, 2013. Welcome back Gnome 3 - maybe. Linux users have a choice of desktop environment. This is a good thing. I don't think so. There are 5 or so major desktop environment I could name, some of which will improve, some will take a wrong turn, some will see a resurgence. Windows 8 was a mistake? This debate is still raging. One argument is that major change in user interaction produces a period of 18 months of rage, followed by reluctant acceptance. Gnome 3 was a mistake? Gnome 3 bad choic...

Sunday, October 14, 2012. Mercurial - Diff or Log? You want to see a list of files that were changed in the last changeset? Some people will say that is a diff, others would argue that purely listing the changed files is not a diff. Hg log -v -r e64f09773235. Grep loving sysadmins might also use:. Hg diff -c e64f09773235 fgrep 2012. But now I want to peek backwards in time to see what the file wsgi.py looked like before and after:. Hg cat wsgi/wsgi.py -r 1. Hg cat wsgi/wsgi.py -r 0. Hg clone ssh:/ hg@bit...

Thursday, March 28, 2013. Advocate become Polemicist to eat. Hoping that a Linux advocate does not have to become a Linux polemicist in order to eat. Probably have to hang up that 'advocate' hat, as that person would driven by new primary goals. Ubuntu regularly takes pot shots at this n that elements of current GNU/Linux ecosystem, do you want to mimic Ubuntu approach in your articles? Now I'll add some arguments against my original take:. Some of these tire me just writing them as they are buzzphrases ).

Friday, October 28, 2011. Git - recreation / clone and wordiness - dvcs. You deleted your git repository or are given a brand new machine - what to do? But why am i not on 'origin' - seem to remember that from github last time? Think of 'origin' as your first breadcrumb in your source work - where did you start from. More eloquently put. Origin indicates the original repository from which you started. As we started from scratch this name is still available. The push here knew where to send your changes.
