  1. [[!tag /news]]
  2. It's been a while - a week or maybe a bit more - since I got the new hard disk
  3. and started moving everything to it. It wasn't easy because I had so many things
  4. to move carefully. Not a technical challenge, but a large amount of work. I'm
  5. still not done - the Jabber server, the BitTorrent peer, some cron jobs, the git
  6. repo mirroring and several other things aren't back yet.
  7. I'm working on them, and soon everything will be back - hopefully with some
  8. bonuses :-)
  9. The important thing is that ikiwiki, git and FTP are all back, so the work can
  10. continue.
  11. Just in case I forgot to mention - I'm now on [Trisquel 7], a fully free
  12. GNU/Linux distribution. It doesn't have nonfree repos or packages at all. Since
  13. I have lots of server related info here and Trisquel's wiki isn't as thorough
  14. as Debian's, I'll try to move some material there. Especially cookbook-style
  15. texts, since those are often missing from general-purpose wikis but are very
  16. useful for small servers and people with less technical knowledge like me.
  17. Partager software development status update: Since Sif and SGP have releases and
  18. Sif is ready for (experimental?) use, I'm going to focus on documenting and
  19. releasing Tosaf, while finalizing and stable API of Sif. Then there are 2 areas
  20. to work on (assuming Dilosi can wait):
  21. 1. Models, structures and algorithms for Naya, the query model
  22. 2. An efficient database implementation (Saugus), probably based on 4store
  23. I haven't decided yet whether I'll use C++ or a compiled functional language for
  24. Saugus. I'll take some time to read about the options and see if I can try the
  25. functional approach. Perhaps there are some databases written like that, whose
  26. code I can study and reuse.
