Widgetarians.org updated to use Planet Venus

The Widgetarians.org feed aggregator is now running Venus, Sam Ruby’s reworking of the Planet codebase. I had been getting sporadic “KeyError” errors; with the upgrade, that’s gone away. Many thanks to Sam Ruby, Scott James Remnant and Jeff Waugh for some handy software :)

cvs2svn migration tips

Some advice from Garrett Rooney on Subversion. I was asking about moving the historical records for the FOAF project (xmlns.com etc) from dusty old CVS into shiny new Subversion.

Nuke Em High

Shadow trade and industry secretary Alan Duncan said: “Whatever the rhetoric, there is nothing in this White Paper that will guarantee that a single nuclear power station will be built.”

Shooting Nick

Just started watching this one on the Raindance TV Joost channel, but I don’t have time right now. In the absence of a bookmarking system I’ll clutter my blog with links. It’s good to have more watchable stuff on Joost than I’ve time to watch :)
