UnixDaemon.net gitweb - because everyone else has one!
I'm not exactly a demanding user of version control systems so I've not
been heavily motivated to ditch my personal SVN repo (which I don't use as
much as I should) and plunge in to the shiny new distributed ones.
However (and this is my excuse) I've recently wanted to put a handful of
my own Nagios
plugins under a public VCS. While we use a number of the checks
at work I don't necessarily want the local changes to be made immediately
public so I thought I'd take this as an opportunity to have a fiddle
with git.
I've now got my own gitweb instance
(because I'm a tech sheep) and while it's pretty easy to install and setup
it was oddly difficult to track down how to modify anything beyond the
basics (the answer? Hack the feature hash from the config file - eg
$feature{'snapshot'}{'default'} =
[];). First impressions of git? I've got a lot to learn. The basic
commands were easy enough to pick up but I am very conscious of how little
of its power I'm using.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - Short Review
It's been the summer of returns, from the very enjoyable Dark Knight to the should
have been left buried 'plot' of Indy and the Crystal Skull.
Unfortunately most of them have been rubbish - and the The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
Emperor doesn't do anything to address this.
The special effects are good but nothing ground breaking, the new Evelyn O'Connell is a masterpiece of terrible - how such an uninteresting character can steal and kill so many scenes baffles me. The story is predictable, boring and lacks the hammy goodness of the first two. At least they didn't cast Shia LaBeouf. 3/10.
Now roll on Hellboy 2!
