I’ve written a tool to examine readers browsing sessions on this site. There are some improvements that I want to make to it but it works for me.
I’m currently an article on how proprietary software practices are piggy-backing off of the success of GNU/Linux/Android. If you are interested read it here.
I’ve just added a page listing programs that I highly recommend here.
The Fedora projects blog has a good introduction to the i3 windowing manager here. I’m definitely going to try i3 later in the day and perhaps even try going back to Fedora as well.
I’m currently reading an article that explains in detail how the Signal/Slot architecture of Qt actually works: https://woboq.com/blog/how-qt-signals-slots-work.html
Pros and Cons of Draft Banking
As of writing this sentence I have thirty-seven other articles drafted. This is because I have sat down and thought of ideas that I could write about and created drafts for all of them.

delete /home/ryan/test_file
Do you want to rerun rm test_file and permit these operations? [y/N]
This looks like an excellent script for using on servers in particular!
I’m presently working on dividing this blog into three separate sections:
- Home site (pages rather than posts)
- Professional / Technological sub-blog
- Entertainment sub-blog
Once I’ve completed this process I’ll write at least one post on using WordPress as a CMS, possibly including patching WordPress its self.
At this moment I am having a session of creating extremely rough drafts of many coming articles. By rough I mean a list of writing points. So far it’s all reviews but that’s partly because I can think of many articles on that subject very quickly. If you have enjoyed any of my past articles please tell me which ones they were.
