I admit it, I’ve finally jumped on the Git bandwagon. After toying with SVN and Darcs, I was convinced when I saw a screen-cast about branching and merging and how it makes the kind of random, skitzo programming that I do very easy and very maintainable. I started using it at work to keep track of some files as a test and finally bit the bullet and signed up for a GitHub account. Once I had gotten setup, I made a few repositories to upload some code I had made for my high school senior project, code that I haven’t looked at in years and probably never will again. Then I decided to share something a bit more exciting, Wiki Wide Web’s bleeding edge source code. After some quick review to ensure I cleared the code of any hard coded passwords, I committed the source.

One thing I like about putting your code on a site like GitHub is that it guilts you into cleaning it up. If you hope that people are going to see it, then you feel slightly pushed to make an effort to clean it up. That pressure lead me to add some installation instructions and a make file for the Firefox extension, and clean up some code.

As the semester is coming to a close, I thought I’d list some of the things I was able to get done this semester and what I’d like to progress on in the future.

Accomplishments:

1. Released the Open Server Platform version 0.2
2. Managed COSI’s Zimbra server
3. Took the following classes: Compilers, Operating Systems, Network Security, Intro. to Psych, E. Linear Algebra.

Goals:

1. Polish off Wiki Wide Web
2. Work on OSP
3. Have a relaxing, fun summer
4. Work on MOSS

That’s all that comes to mind at the moment, I’m sure I’ll think of more as time goes by.

Peace and chow,
