List outdated port names with awk
MacPorts. Sometimes your ports are outdated. There’s a pseudo-portname for them. The report has many columns. And I only want the names, not their versions.
port list outdated | awk 'BEGIN { RS="\n" } { print $1 }' > names_of_old_ports.txt
Done.
Update: got a bug, fixed it. Sheesh.

Look, Ma! (linked Io glimpse)
The Io blog points to a ramshackle example Io thing authored by me and quag.

Copenhagen.rb meetup: Puppet and fringe activity
Juri presented the amazing Puppet framework for controlling servers. He controls about 20 servers with it.
Think of Puppet’s files as “setup Rakefiles for servers” which is version-controlled, monitored, and written in a very terse DSL. Seems slick. Juri might publish his nice slides, who knows.
While he was presenting, me and Lars SG were typing [...]
RuPy 2007, European hacker meetup
Dear hackers: %w(Ruby Python).each {|lang| lang.discuss }
Thanks for a great weekend. “I’ll see you on the Internets” has never rung
more true than when I and Tomek and Krzysztof hurried out to a waiting taxi
(driven by a talkative bard-type, who talked “about nothing” with many words).
Now: go empty your camera, upload them somewhere, and tag the [...]
Going to RuPy? Here is the IRC channel
Upcoming conference in Poznan: RuPy.
There was no IRC channel mentioned on the website, so I took the liberty to start preaching about one!
On irc.freenode.net — #rupy
Add that to you autojoin, mate.

Fastavaled-out
Oh, that roleplaying game convention is just amazing. Even though I underscheduled this year, to have more time to meet with people, I had things to be done all the time, it seemed.
Schmoozed with amazing folks. All the folks were wonderful, but Claus J (and his media student friend), and Frederik J (who works at [...]
