refactoring

Two years ago i got involved in a big( read not huge ) project written by a small team over more than 6 years of development. The idea was to do some refactoring on the code and get it back into production in a few months. Still, it was a project living on "trunk", always on the edge, no oficial release, no full-tested new features

It was a challenging experience and got us into some trouble and many rewards. Old ghosts grew back from old code, and new ghost were breed on the new code; but it was a great experience with a nice team working on it

I did learn a lot, and i mean a lot. How ever there is always room for improvement like this aproach of refactoring and some other documents i've been reading since then. like this checklist [pdf]

svn offline

basically i used svn-git as detailed here but then i run into this error:

Can't locate SVN/Core.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 
  /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/cygwin 
  /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8/cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8 .) 
at /usr/bin/git-svn line 29.

Oh well. Of course i was missing subversion-perl bindings.

NIN ghost

It has been NIN this time. Thank you.

I must confess, i'm not NIN fan, neither i know it's work, however, i appreciate the move, even more, after listening, i can tell you: i'm buying

2008-03-17 Update: listening to 4 Ghost I i was suddenly transported to some King Crimson'ish sounds circa 1995-1996: B'Boom and (even better) THRaKaTTaK. How come?. Oh yeah that sounds like Adrian Belew playing.

allow anyone to use ttyS0

Buffalo '66

Just so delicious! how could i ever missed bufallo 66. I've been quite lucky to catch this on tv tonight

why was i captivated by the film in the first place, i can't tell, however when i did hear the first two notes from King Crimson's moonchild... well; that was it.

i love the music, and the scene
