Comment on SSH public key and Bitbucket by dave

Revelation: if they use a single ssh installation with a big .ssh/authorized_users file with different users, perhaps the script which adds new users messes up. Leaves a line out, eats an EOL character, whatever. Then nothing will work. As one who has edited his share…and messed them up.

Kind of a hack: works on Ubuntu 10.10

  # N.B.  better than head(1) would be a loop to test the strings.  Since we're looking for a directory,

And we know now how the rest of the season turned out. Feh.

As of 18 Nov, 2010, the Graffiti keyboard is now available for 2.2. Nice.

Comment on Thanks 1&1 Ya Dopes for not including Subversion by dave

As of 9/16/2010, looks like 1&1 is now including a git client in their standard package – nice for local versioning, not so nice if WordPress does not use it – they don’t.

Comment on Burnt Teapot by dave

UPDATE: This design is flawed in all except appearance. The lid cannot be operated one-handed, and when you pour boiling water from a full pot (as when making iced tea) the water flashing behind the lid creates steam, and the pressure forces boiling water out of the spout at high speed. I have soaked a 1 foot radius pouring tea. Not good. The old Mirro never did that.
