This is a Gist for stuffing my quick notes and thoughts in here, also serving as development tracker for bits.
Now bits has moved to WordPress.
Key points:
-
README.md
isn't very important since it isn't a note, but it may be used for some indexing or linking to other years. -
Each note is a comment, currently group year's notes in one Gist. No need to title each note, too much effort for reference when comment link is enough.
Originally, I thought of using pattern like
YYYYnnn
, year with 3-digit number. But it's really not necessary. Not even me would actually refer to the notes. -
Must have proper formatting capability, like Markdown.
Although these are just notes, but I would prefer formatting them well. Not tweets, nor blog posts.
-
Must be able to scroll down a single page to view multiple rendered notes.
I wished to have each note their own page, but couldn't really find any easy solution to meet my needs, so settling down in Gist comments works best for now.
-
Okay to lose these notes, they may not be worth reading again.
-
Okay not to have proper search function since each note is a comment.
-
Okay not to have separate comment thread for each note.
-
Okay not to have commit history for notes.
Ideas:
-
The first note is a bit long due to the emerge log, it might be a good idea to have another Gist to store those log stuff, like
bits.2013.bits

keyword' bookmark for comment form
Unfortunately, the form doesn't have ID.
Bi-monthly Windows Update just hit another giant rock. The svchost.exe 100% CPU utilization, had to search and find an answer on my own, also must manually download and install the so called "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP (KB2879017)"
If one didn't know to look at Task Manager and spot that 100%, and didn't think about searching, no wonder you need Windows Experts / Professionals / Certified <title>, so you could ask and get an answer, and pray that did fix your particular issue.
One hour of my life could never get back.
2013-11-26T03:05:08Z: speaking too soon, or thought that update fixed the issue when I saw the green progress bar running, 22 minutes later, it's still running. svchost.exe is still using 100% of a core. FTW! (= Fuck the Windows!)
