- Back from a 10 day Vipassana course3 February 2010
- This Sunday I came back from a 10 day Vipassana course in Belgium. This doesn't concern the website's purpose directly, but I felt like posting something a little more personal so I'll keep the front page text short.
Read more if you're interested, I have included a few YouTube clips including one presenting Dhamma Bhanu, a Vipassana Centre in Japan.

- I want to thank everyone who's supported Reviewing the Kanji through 2009 ! Your donations and gifts have cheered me up and made a difference.
Now it's my turn to give you something. Here's the little present I talked about in the last news post. I wanted to make this announcement on the 1st of January, but let's not fret...
Reviewing the Kanji enters 2010 with a big bold step... one that I had in mind for a long time... we're going open source baby!

- Many thanks to Andreas for the Pro Git book! I'm going to devour it during the holiday break.
I hope everyone's having a fine Christmas with or without Santa Claus ;-) I've got a nice present for you all in store for the new year (*fingers crossed*)!

- Hooray! My first public code repository is on Github! Juicer is a tool I have built a couple weeks ago, to manage front-end code as reusable components. This tool allows organizing your javascripts and stylesheets in a logical structure, and build concatenated files with all dependencies required on the web page. Have a look at it if you are into web development!
I have built Juicer so that I can effectively reuse all the front end components such as progress bars or ajax sortable tables, on multiple web sites. The front end components will now be a separate repository.
With Juicer the next release of the website will also use only one javascript and one stylesheet on the Study and Flashcard Review pages. Users accessing the site from an iPhone or other device with slower connections/greater latency should see a difference!

- Amazingly enough this website has never been under version control. Nevermind that I have in the past worked as a team of programmers, for two years using SVN (or was it CVS?) every single day from the command line editing hundred of C files under VIM... of all editors.
This same person has been developing this site for about 3 years now (?) without version control. Personally I think it's rather funny.
In layman's terms this is what would have been happening with any previous release were it be under version control:
