Writing this up, for future dumb me. I wanted to be able to archive my Google Apps account (just me on my domain) to somewhere else on a sorta-kinda automatic basis. I also did not want to make domain wide changes, because I don’t want to affect any future users I might add to my Google Apps account. What I want: Archive all my incoming and outgoing mail (on Google Apps) to another cloud account ...
Short new series for me. Quick and Dirty Programming Posts They’ll be tagged qdpp. They’ll be raw, error prone and mostly works in progress. A few reasons to help me write for a few minutes (publicly) daily. I’ve realised slow and steady is a good way to build a body of work, (Godin, Kushal). Even if the beginning is slow and shitty. to save myself searching the web for stuff I need to have handy. these are primarily for me, and me alone. If they help you as well, that’s a bonus! Let’s start with PEP. ...
Being laid up sick in bed is never fun. Yet, serendipitously, it was the being laid up, that gave me time to focus and complete my first Python program. We were to make a project, that combined what we’d learnt so far at DGPLUG. So to me that was: Markdown (or RST; I chose Markdown) Git (my bugbear. I still can’t quite wrap my head around it) and Python. So I created a spanking new repo for my crazy, one off projects at Github. Created a license, because, well because Anwesha says you ought to, and even shows you how to. (and it’s generally a good thing any way :) ...
Note: This is for the Student Planet. Please read this on the blog. At the dawn of computing … Last night, over at DGPLUG, Kushal gave quite a heart rousing talk on the history of Free Software, covering quite a bit about Richard Stallman and the events leading up to him (RMS, not Kushal) launching GNU & the FSF. If you’re interested in reading more about that sort of thing, here’s a few more books & resources. ...
Just went through the second chapter of Git Pro. Slowly getting the the hang of this. Love the fact that most git commands are just unix commands prefixed with git git rm git mv and so on. My head’s still mush, but more practice should help. Onwards
I started out with a very vague idea, of learning programming last year. I went to Pycon India, fell in love with the community, decided to learn software, and came home all charged up. (Btw, I was so intimidated, I did not speak to a single soul.) The plan was to sort personal issues, tackle a couple of major work projects so that I could then focus on learning, clear the decks and go full steam ahead come April. ...
