  • Importing History into Git With my recent move over to Git for my VCS Home solution I decided to start afresh with new repositories and not migrating the history over, in the last few days i’ve noted that it was a very bad decision and having the full history will always be useful.

  • OBLogout 0.2 Released I have to say, hell has actually froze over. I’ve been promising this release for months now and I never thought i’d actually get it out the door. Due to numerous showstopping bugs and hitches this release has seen numerous delays. Finally, we’re there. OBLogout is a logout and shutdown script designed with Openbox in mind, [...]
