Comment on Bare Git repositories by giles

Glad I could help! Your solution sounds safer than copying the contents of .git up to the repo root, thanks for sharing it.

Also — nice to see someone promoting their site with relevant comments — I almost hit “spam” when I saw your tagline, but given that I can’t find the text of your comment on Google (so you’re probably real rather than a bot) and anyway I have nofollow links switched on, I figured I should let it stand :-)

Thanks that article was a good start for me to fix that problem.
As I had quite few changes I didn’t want to lose I just moved my non-bare directory on the remote server and the recloned it using git clone –bare command.

$ mv my-repos my-repos-bak
$ git clone –bare my-repos-bak my-repos

That was enough to make it “bared” and keptp my changes history.

Comment on Running Resolver One on Mono for Windows by giles

Thanks, Ben! We’re certainly considering offering the new grid as a separate product — the API’s pretty clean, so it would “just” require some polishing and documentation. Of course, that’s a big “just” :-)

Hi Giles, nice post. Interested to hear how the pure .NET grid is coming along. Is this something Resolver is going to sell so that the rest of us can have cross-platform .NET UIs :-)

Great article! It’s pretty impressive how Python and NLTK made it so easy to implement this witty idea!

Hi Brian — thanks for the encouragement, and I’m glad you like Resolver One!

I’m hoping to spend next Monday on more OpenCL stuff, so will post more then.

Cheers,

Giles

Hi Giles,

I have a look at your webGL stuff now and again but this is much more interesting to me. I look forward to seeing what you come up with; especially if you tie it to Resolver One (of which I’m a big fan).

TMonitor looks fun, thanks!

Glad I could help, and I hope the i7 works out as well for you as it has for me! So far by watching the Windows 7 Resource monitor I can max out my 8GB of memory when I run 3 or 4 large VMs in Virtualbox, but the CPU still runs well under 50% capacity. It is fun to use TMonitor to watch the cores get clocked up when only one or two are being used, but aside from testing a brute force password recovery tool on an Excel spreadsheet I have yet to see the CPU ever get maxed out.

Enjoy!

Thanks! I’ve sent them a list of the differences, and also alerted Tweetminster to a few that TWFY had that they don’t. Now I’ll add Ben’s list and do a delta with that to send him…
