Hacking Upstart Together

If you missed the Hacking Upstart Together session at UDS-R in Copenhagen, here are the slides:

This gives a very gentle introduction to Upstart development and covers NIH, common gotchas and more.

    World of Warcraft is several orders of magnitude more complex. There are thousands of games which are more complex than Farmville wow gold but less complex than World of Warcraft in between these two. Thus I don’t agree that WoW today is "as close to a casual friendly experience as it gets". Case in point, the general assumption is that Mists of Pandaria will make WoW *more* casual friendly, which wouldn’t be possible if it was already as casual friendly as possible.That is not to say that Keen and all the people complaining about the next WoW expansion don’t have a point. What is certainly true is that if you draw a line from Everquest to WoW 2004 to wow po2011 (and SWTOR 2011) there is a clear and steady trend away from hardcore. The only mistake is to think that we are for some reason already at the bottom of this trend, and it won’t continue from here on. There is no reason whatsoever which would prevent Blizzard from continuing this trend with *every* future patch and expansion, making wow gold paysafecard even easier and less hardcore every year. Just look at games like Free Realms to see how much less complex and more casual friendly a MMORPG still can become.

Byobu Bling with Unicode Custom Indicators

Image
Introduction In these heady times of almost daily advances in UI pizzazz, you could be forgiven for thinking the terminal is somewhat of a dead-zone when it comes to excitement. Oh how wrong you would be though...! If you've never used  Byobu ,  Dustin's  awesome text-based window manage, sudo apt-get install it without delay to be bathed in pure terminal goodness. As shown below, byobu comes with a whole host of standard indicators, allowing the display of useful snippets of information. The indicators are minimal out of terminal-width real estate necessity, but that's also their strength - they provide just the details you really care about in a tight ASCII format. And they're cute of course :-) However, byobu has a well-kept secret: when running with the tmux backend, it supports Unicode indicators. So with the proviso that you are running " byobu-tmux " rather than " byobu-screen ", you can squeeze down those indicators even further...

Procenv 0.46 - now with more platform goodness

I have just released procenv version 0.46 . Although this is a very minor release for the existing platforms (essentially 1 bug fix), this release now introduces support for a new platform... Darwin Yup - OS X now joins the ranks of supported platforms. Although adding support for Darwin was made significantly easier as a result of the recent internal restructure of the procenv code, it did present a challenge: I don't own any Apple hardware. I could have borrowed a Macbook, but instead I decided to see this as a challenge: Could I port procenv to Darwin without actually having a local Apple system?  Well, you've just read the answer, but how did I do this? Stage 1: Docker Whilst surfing around I came across this interesting docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/andrewd/osxcross/ It provides a Darwin toolchain that I could run under Linux. It didn't take very long to follow my own instructions on porting procenv to a new platform . But although I...

Upstart User Sessions in Ubuntu Raring

Image
Overview Ubuntu Raring now includes Upstart 1.8 . Upstart 1.7 and 1.8 combined mark a major milestone since they bring the proven power of Upstart to the user as never before: not only is Upstart now managing the system, but it is also capable of managing the default Ubuntu user's desktop sessions too. Why? Question:  Why reuse a system facility at the user level in this way? The modern Linux desktop environment is a very dynamic one: users start and stop applications, switch workspaces, search the dash, adjust personal settings in the panel, connect to different networks, hot-plug USB devices and so on. All of these activities can be represented by "events". Stepping back a second, recall that Upstart was written  from the outset  to take advantage of  the dynamic nature of a modern Linux system . Long gone are the days when a system booted serially. A modern Linux system abounds with "events" from all sorts of different sources: The user plugs or ...
