I've also bemoaned Schwab's password policy. I reacted by changing my login ID to something nonsensical which would be difficult to guess or to associate with anyone's identity, let alone mine.

Ha! Fair enough. No, I didn't intend to troll. I've found RCS useful for ad hoc versioning of configuration files on systems without git or other version control systems. Wondering whether anyone still finds it useful. I reckon not!

Does anyone else use RCS [1] for this?

He inspired me to start building my own wheels, to experiment more with 70s-era French steel frames, Raleigh 3-speeds, Raleigh 20s, flip-flop hubs, fixed 3-speed Sturmey-Archer hubs, and on and on. Wonderful man.

Thanks. I posted this specifically to get such critiques of these various flavors of FreeNAS: FreeNAS, NAS4Free, OpenMediaVault.

Agreed that OsmAnd's interface leaves much room for improvement. Even though I have successfully used its navigation function for specific addresses, I have also run into all the problems you outline. It does seem to get better with each new release.

Have you looked into OsmAnd [1] for Android devices? You may find it not as slick as Google Maps, but it does have Points of Interest search.

Thanks. I appreciate your candor and your work on this.

The comment struck me, because I often feel the same!

What do you make of the following under ``SOUNDLAB.COMBINATORS'' on the API page:

``I have no idea what I am doing. I thought I knew but boy am I lost. Still, all this appears to be something good!''

I like that he named Archy after Don Marquis' Archy and Mehitabel, the cockroach and alley cat duo. Archy the cockroach would spend hours throwing his body against the keys of a manual typewriter to convey his poetry about his muse Mehitabel, who in turn would throw herself repeatedly against the harsh world of alley-cat living with irrepressible gaiety. Two paragons of the struggle with interfaces!

Front page needs an editorial review:

Zinc let's you build things... -> Zinc lets you build things...

(``let's'' = ``let us'')

I couldn't find many either; just the one from a cursory search:

Interesting critique by a Debian developer:

Thanks for this. I've heard that some of the alleys south of Market got their names from the proprietors of brothels in that area, such as Minna, Natoma, Tehama, Clementina. Can anyone debunk/confirm this?

No, it has only 24 chapters. Version 2 has 27.

Did you delete your comment? It may have diverged a bit from the topic, but I found your method more compelling than using a password managing service.

"This has enormous potential," said study co-author Alex Bayen, a UC Berkeley professor of electrical engineering and computer science. "These findings are going to come into practice in the near future. This is not just a scientific study."

``... not just a scientific study.'' Reinforce engineering v. science stereotypes much?

Could ``Bicholim Conflict'' have been a potential Mountweazel for Wikipedia:

The reason I asked was your comment about taking advantage of source control and the implied separation of content from formatting.

The only real advantage that I can see to going with publican[1] or asciidoc[2] is that they're free tools. The main disadvantage is that you'd have to define formatting via XSL.

I'm interested in whether you looked into using a DocBook tool chain via publican or asciidoc.

Or, more specifically in this case, captivity is the mother of invention. This reminds me of a video I saw recently about the inventions of prison inmates.

I think this [1] is the one lifeisstillgood meant.

Thanks for the link to the rules! I wasn't aware of those.

If you find this sort of thing interesting, you might investigate Witkacy[1] if you haven't already.
