Appears Cox has removed TCM from the basic cable tier and moved it to an over-priced digital package. TCM shows some great movies, commercial free.

Thanks, scumbags.

Curiously, although they reduced the service, my bill is not going down.

Thanks Cox, for once again being a real douche bag company.

A few years ago they used to carry Maricopa Community College TV; I got to watch German television rebroadcast in the wee hours on MCC. Cox then moved that to the digital cash-cow; when they republished their channel listings, they had 99 (the former home of MCC-TV) described as “educational programming.” And what were they showing? Round-the-clock infomercials.

They must be real proud of their commitment to education and quality service.

There seem to be some confusion over what the core development of Rails on Git will mean to Windows users. The simple answer is: Absolutely nothing. But let me give you a slightly more involved answer:

• rake rails:freeze:edge will still work. We’ll make it use either zip or tar.gz files. It’ll actually be even better as it won’t even require a SCM to work.
• Tickets will still accept regular patches that you can create with any diff tool.

So this will mean no difference to users of Rails and it’ll mean no difference to developers of Rails. What it will mean is that people who are interested in using Git (which again does come in a variety of flavors for Windows despite not being as well-supported as on nix) will get some value-added features in form of easier branching and the other Git goodies.

If you’re freaking out, calm down. Rails and the developers behind it have snubbed Windows far, far worse in the past :). The original release of the framework didn’t even run on Windows. This move to Git is not a snub.

I've been writing a little bit of PHP again today. That platform has really received an unfair reputation. For the small things I've been used it for lately, it's absolutely perfect.

I love the fact that it's all just self-contained. That the language includes so many helpful functions in the box. And that it managed to get distributed with just about every instance of Apache out there.

For the small chores, being quick and effective matters far more than long-term maintenance concerns. Or how pretty the code is. PHP scales down like no other package for the web and it deserves more credit for tackling that scope.

I remember thinking how impressive the roll-out of Subversion was. They reached some magic point where the majority of the development world just flipped and most everyone who've previously been on CVS switched in what seemed like an overnight transition.

Of course it didn't happen like that, but the perception of a sea of developers all collectively deciding to move on and knight Subversion the next savior seemed impressive at the time.

It's not so easy any more. First of all, Subversion is still a great SCM for the paradigm it embodies. It's unlikely to be out-gunned within its sphere any time soon. So any newcomers can't just out-SVN Subversion, like Subversion could out-CVS CVS.

Which means to topple Subversion, you have to bring a new paradigm to the table. The plethora of distributed version control systems seem to be that next paradigm. But it's not purely equitably "better", it's different. Better in many regards for many purposes, but not just better. Like SVN just felt better, period, than CVS.

So given all that, I think the Git move is even more interesting. That camp is competing not only to convince people that a new paradigm is appropriate for many things, but also as that it, one-out-of-many, should be the one to embody it.

I think they're going to get it. Killer apps makes or breaks any platform. With Github, I think the Git hub just scored one. Rails is going to be hosted there for the launch. Capistrano, Prototype, and Scriptaculous already moved there.

Go, go, Git.

We’ve been preparing for Rails to move the official source repository from Subversion to Git for some time now and it seems that it’ll happen over the next week or so. The premiere will happen alongside the official launch of Github.

The move will also mean that we’re going to be switching ticket tracking to Lighthouse. So now both our repository and ticket tracking will be powered by Rails applications, which is a nice bonus treat.

When the move happens, we’ll freeze the existing Subversion repository and the Trac installation. Both will live on for a long time to come, but will be entirely deprecated. This means that your existing svn:externals will not break, but if you want the latest edge, you’ll have to get it from the new git repository.

So now is a great time to learn more about Git in anticipation of this move. I recommend starting with the Git for SVN’ers crash course.

  昨天早上新闻说4/1号开始很多吃的要涨价了，果然中午出去到一个经常去的中华料理吃饭，到了那里发现竟然中午定食也涨了50块钱。原来800，涨了6.25%。原因之一是小麦涨价。我说原来百元店的小麦1kg，最近没有了，只有700g的小麦了。原来是涨价了。   去网上查了下，发现牛奶也涨了，为1978年以来首次涨价，日本物价还真是稳定。而且，5月后小麦制品，方便面，面包等还可能再涨价。肯德基的商品也都涨了20左右，为92年4月以来首次。纸，电，gas，还都在或者已经涨了，貌似什么都在涨，当然，还有自己的年龄。涨吧，反正我只吃中国产的食品，穿中国产的衣服，都不贵。   至于涨的原因，大概有3点：   1.世界各地减产（自然或者认为原因）   2.发展中国家需求增大   3.生物燃料的需求   尤其是第3点，据说墨西哥人很恨美国人，因为他们把玉米都拿去生产原料了。 据说汽油要降价了，可惜我不烧汽油。
