Part of your problem may be that they’re understaffed since I started systematically hunting down and killing ryanair employees after they woke me up at 3am when I was asleep on the floor in Stansted.

Website maintenance seems less important when you’re hiding in your fridge from customers with crossbows.

Holy crap! I had the exact same problem on my laptop running Fedora 10 but couldn’t find any solution. Turns out my root partition was full as well; I would never have suspected that if not for your blog post. Thank you so much!!

Comment on Is surface tension enough? by Alex

I concur, good show! Then: long technical words! Then: mmm, naaan.

Could all this careful oven calibration help you to create a genuine naan, perhaps using surface cheese tension to keep some kind of curried chicken components in place? Let’s face it, a whole lot tastier than pcb, and therefore more useful.

Glad I could help!

Excellent work! The thermometer might be inaccurate due to the nonlinearity of the thermocouple, or nonexistant/poor cold junction compensation. Did everything except the probe stay at room temperature?

Comment on SVN stat + externals = visual horror by alchemyst

This is one of the places where awk really shines:

BEGIN {tag=” “}
/Performing status on external item/ { tag=”ext”; next}
/^$/ { tag=” “; next }
{ print tag, $0 }

does the same thing as the python and makes it easy to handle other tags cleanly (just add another rule for that tag).
