I've given up on packaging jlj for Debian - the licence is a bit vague and I've so far failed to get in touch with the author to clarify it. I'll probably polish up my .deb a bit more and put it up somewhere though.

I'm tired of having to dig back for things I've deleted. Why doesn't everything come with a versioned filesystem by default?

If you're reading this blog via the RSS Feed I recommend you unsubscribe and switch to the far superior Atom Feed.

This particularly affects livejournal users, who should stop seeing everything in the feed reappear every time I make one post.

So I've got an account on 43things.com. A handy site for tracking your goals and discussing them with people. Only there's one problem. I've not used it in a while and forgotten my username.

There appears to be no way to recover it, and, what's worse, they're so web 2.0 they've skipped old-fashioned things like a contact email address. And you can't access most of the site to look for your data without creating an account, which I would be happy to do, if I didn't already have one.

Update: They also don't support standard addresses like webmaster@43things.com.

There's a Linux filesystem implementation that lets you mount wikipedia articles as if they were real files: WikiPediaFS.

It seems to use fuse a linux tool to let you implement filesystems in userspace. fuse looks very cool, in a scary sort of way.
