Strayed from the path

In two ways…first, I have not updated the site in a while, and I need to get back to updating it.

Second, because I have not been true to my cli roots. I have moved from my default MUA of the last, oh, 8 years, and flirted with a GUI MUA, thunderbird. It was pretty. It was sexy. It let me see everything then and now. It tried to seduce me into using a GUI for more…

cli bug/issue/task tracking system?

Fresh from freshmeat:

https://www.ditrack.org/

What is DITrack?

DITrack is a free, open source, lightweight, distributed issue (bug, defect, ticket) tracking system using a [Subversion](https://subversion.tigris.org/) repository instead of a backend database. It is written in Python and runs in UNIX environment (*BSD, Linux, MacOS X).

The project is inspired by the idea of [Subissue](https://subissue.tigris.org/) issue tracking system.

However, while Subissue aims in merely replacing the traditional database storage with Subversion repository, DITrack is a major rethought of the issue tracking system paradigm. The main difference is that instead of sticking to the centralized model (one database, one web interface, one mail integration machinery), DITrack treats underlying Subversion storage as a versioned distributed file system which enables benefits of truly distributed operation mode.

Window Manager for tty?

The package screen is something that has been around for a long time.

With screen, you can have many session running on on tty, and you can switch to another session with out touching a mouse. With the proper configuration, you can get notified if there is some change (like if you have a IM client up) or if there is no output (say, if you are watching a compile session).
