When working on projects that require multiple iterations of simulations and/or analyses, it's really quite hard to keep track of the changes one makes and how the results vary. Sumatra is a tool that is developed to help researchers manage such projects.
I thought it'd be fun to try and build TeX Live from sources. So, I spent a day trying to do it. Here's how it went.
We set up new communication channels for Fedora Join. Come speak to us!
As the amount of work increases, it becomes ever so more important to manage time and work in an efficient way. So, there's Taskwarrior for managing tasks, Timewarrior for tracking them, and Gnome Pomodoro for making sure one takes regular breaks and doesn't let the long hours affect their health in a bad way.
I finally took some time out to set up neomutt and related tools that let me access my e-mail in a terminal. This post documents how I went about it.
I taught a Fedora Classroom session the other day - Git 101 - where I walked through the basics of Git. This is a quick summary of the session.
I finally found the time to set up an IRC bouncer to keep myself permanently connected to IRC networks. This post documents how I went about it using Amazon AWS, ZNC, and Irssi.
I taught a Fedora classroom session today - "Command Line 101" - where I introduced the command line and demonstrated how useful the command line is. This is a quick summary of the session.
Different teams use different platforms to communicate within themselves. When teams on different communication platforms want to collaborate, though - there's a bit of an issue. In this post, I document how one can setup channels on various platforms (Slack, IRC, Gitter) and bring them all together on Riot.
