I wanted to use Saltstack‘s gitfs to easily reference salt formulas from my gitolite repository over ssh using key-based authentication. In order for salt-master to do this, you need pygit2, which needs libgit2, which isn’t yet packaged by ubuntu. You can download a libgit2 deb file, but that doesn’t have libgit2 compiled with SSH support, […]

writing saltstack formulas
Monday, March 16, 2015
SaltStack is a great open-source, cross-platform automation system. It lets you configure servers using declarative yaml files and python. You can create custom “states” during yaml/python, and then say “make server X have state Y”. There’s a lot of plumbing involved which I’m not going to delve into, but it’s pretty neat stuff and doesn’t […]
working with R, postgresql + SSL, and MSSQL
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
I’ve been able to take a break from my regularly scheduled duties and spend some time working with R. This is a short log of what I did to get it working. The main things I’m looking to do is regression modelling from a large dataset I have in postgresql and various stats calculations on […]
git-like line counts in svn using bash
Monday, January 18, 2010
I really like how git tells me how many lines inserted/removed when I commit, and wanted to get something similar from Subversion. I’m working on a refactoring of an older system, and I wanted to know how my refactorings were effecting the code. I think I’m going to remove a lot more code than I […]
the beginnings of bar charts
Monday, February 11, 2008
Spent a ton of time today playing with adw-charting. I wanted to expand on the source contributor graphs from the other day, and ended up implementing some basic bar chart functionality. I’ve read a lot of complaints about the lack of lisp libraries, so whenever I sit down to do some random task, I try […]
more adw-charting paperwork complete
Tuesday, January 29, 2008
Made another release tonight, but there are no new features, this is just tying up some loose ends: added a LICENSE file and license headers in each file. removed cl-vector-chart.lisp, which I had looked at for inspiration, but ultimately decided not to use. added a lisp file and shell script to automate making a release. […]
adw-charting is available for download
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
Someone on #lisp started talking about making line charts using vecto, so I went ahead and got setup a common-lisp.net project: http://common-lisp.net/project/adw-charting/ Now I’m somewhat flooded with digital paperwork: Get my darcs repository onto common-lisp.net Update the documentation to point to common-lisp.net (removed all the damn lies, so only vague untruths remain) Get access to […]
Setting up a computer for Flash development
Tuesday, November 20, 2007
There are several tutorials out there on how to do this, but they all differed a little, and figured I might as well note mine. I’m replicating the setup I have at work onto a home computer, so this is my second time around. Download and install Eclipse, the java version should be just fine […]
Graphing my fuel efficiency with lisp and Vecto
Sunday, October 7, 2007
Gonna try to be quick about this, as there’s chicken on the grill. I took a break from Team Fortress 2 to play some more with Vecto, another fine library from Xach. I started another post about last weekend’s lisp playing, but this one got finished first. I’ve been tracking my fuel efficiency for a […]
