I’ve spent the ~entire~ day working on my AccuRev Ruby Object Model, XML Parser, and XML Mapper that converts the raw XML model into the tricked out OO model. Unit tests rock. Iterative development model rocks. Tons of progress today. I am starting to write some tools around the library to ‘kick the tires’. I’ll get a beta library out this week.

I found a program in Jackson Hole that offers courses in avalanche training. I think that will be my winter activity accompanying general riding trips.

My TV has unusually been on all day. Digital music has been on more than naught, but I’ve flipped channels a handful of times. Why do I pay for cable television? nothing but crap. Do people really spend hours of their time watching this stuff? yikes. I’ve been pounding
out Ruby instead… much more enjoyable.

I took a break and went to the local convenience store a block away. I bought a lemonade. After I paid and left the establishment, I shook the drink to mix it… and felt liquid on my hand. The bottle appeard to be underfilled. Had someone taken a sip and put it back? The safety lid ‘popped’. Ugh. I didn’t risk it. Off to another store to buy something different. Clearly Canadian has a brand of fruffy water that claimes to pump 5x 0₂ into the liquid. Hmmm.. 5x
of a quanitity that you can’t detect anyway. Gimmic. but it was refreshing.

Welcome to fepus.net v1.0. I write software for a living and for fun. I finally got around to resurrecting my old-skool domain, fepus.net. I needed a place to put my favorite gems to share with the w0rld.

The flavor of the day is AccuRev, a contemporary stream-based software configuration management tool just like CVS, SVN, Clearcase, Perforce, etc. Only MUCH better. It is proprietary. But we all have to pay a mortgage,
feed kids, or save for lift tickets. Given that, I am releasing all my work, from simple scripts to libraries of classes/functions under the GNU Lesser General Public License (GLPL). Please feel free to modify the code for your own purposes. If you have suggestions on how I could make my own public versions -even better-, please drop me an email.

Enjoy! - dave
