Don’t all agree so quickly! Jeeez!

For those of you playing along with the Distcc guide rewrite, an update:

Last weekend I finally sat down and updated the guide taking in suggestions from Bug #42712. This is good, except when I did it I first tried to apply the patch from the bug on the CVS distcc.xml (which failed miserably). I then made the mistake of not cleaning up and rechecking out the file.


cvs up
cp distcc.xml distcc.xml.dist
patch < bug-42712.dist
*fail*
vi distcc.xml.diff
*edit edit*
cp distcc.xml ~
rm -rf distcc.xml*
cvs up distcc.xml

Spot the problem.

*sigh*

I’ll get to it, honest!

This morning I decided to brush of my rusty C skills and implement the Soundex algorithm with a little test class.

The results are thus:

o I really need to do more C programming
o Pointers still manage to confuse me
o C has some funky rules
o The soundex code for my surname is still S400.
o It is really hot here. 26C at 61% humidity

Hoping this works out better than nanoblogger. It should do better than nanoblogger since I can do this remotely without having my ssh key handy. I’ll do my best to import my more recent nanoblogger posts.
