Wish List

KainX — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 06:11:14 +0100

Mmmm, Presents!

Every time my birthday or Christmas rolls around, my family starts asking me for a list of stuff I want. So instead of making a new list every time, I'm just going to keep a running list here in (roughly) priority order.

In lieu of particular gifts, of course, monetary donations are always welcome. You can contribute to Eterm or me personally via PayPal here:

PayPal

Amazon.Com

Now that Amazon makes it easy to mark items as purchased even if you don't buy them from Amazon, I've decided to move the bulk of my wish list there. So please refer to Michael's Wish List on Amazon.com for most items.

Happy Hunting!

(This stuff is hard to find or not available yet.)

In case you wanted to get me a few things, here's a list of ideas.

Items with a bullet are preferred.

Updated: 12/04/2009

Most of my wish list has moved to Amazon. This wish list will be used for items that are nonspecific or not on Amazon.

Clothes

I need clothes sized 12 months (or larger). Below are some specific clothes that I need:

Long-sleeved jammies with footies.
Socks
Onesies (long and short-sleeved)
Pants
Cute outfits

Please note: Baby clothes do not have a sizing standard. One brand may say it's a particular size and if you compare it with another brand you may find a significant difference.

Carter's/Just One Year/Child of Mine (all the same company) are good quality clothes and are the correct size. Please do not get any clothing by Gerber. They run an entire size too small (3-6 months is actually 0-3 months) and don't fit my body proportions.

Toys

I don't need a lot to be entertained. Please limit the amount of toys you send. Mummy and daddy say that we don't have enough room for a lot of toys. Please do not send any stuffed animals. I have more than enough.

Gift Cards

Target
Barnes and Noble
Kohl's

'tis the season!

After years of repeatedly supplying lists to family for gift ideas, I have decided to create a running list for them to refer to.

This list is in no particular order; however, items with a bullet in front are strongly encouraged.

Note: The links provided are visual examples. If you find anything on this list cheaper elsewhere, by all means, take advantage of it.

We LOVE presents. We go through MANY bunny toys. Eating and chewing on bunny toys keeps us out of trouble and from destroying things. Toys also help us grind down our toofers!

New Article

Yes, I know, I've been bad. I haven't posted in my journal for far too long. It happens from time to time as those who've been reading my journal regularly well know.

Other than being super-busy with work, I had the opportunity to spend some time writing an article on how to use Mezzanine to turn source tarballs into SRPM/RPM packages. Hopefully it will be a good starting point for those wishing to contribute to cAos Linux and for others who are familiar with Mezzanine but haven't played with specgen just yet.

There are some things Mezzanine can do that aren't strictly related to product management, however. For example, I use Mezzanine as a wrapper around all my CVS work with Eterm and libast. All my commits, updates, additions, removals, etc. are done via mzput, mzget, mzadd, mzrm respectively. I also use the package management tools to create all my SRPM packages (including the one linked above). And of course, Mezzanine is the backbone of cAos, the community-driven RPM-based Linux distribution that isn't Fedora (and isn't controlled by Red Hat). All packages contained in cAos are modified and maintained solely using Mezzanine (mzimport, mzprep, mzpatch, and mzput primarily).

Mezzanine greatly simplifies many tasks associated with maintaining packages, and that portion of it is fairly easy to learn with some basic instructions. You can easily import and modify SRPM's with only the most basic knowledge of the toolkit. However, managing entire software products with Mezzanine is a complex task which should probably not be attempted by anyone but me. :-)

If you like Mezzanine or find it useful, feel free to send me some feedback. Bug reports are also welcome, but those should probably go to the list. Anyway, good luck, and enjoy! :-)
