At last. After some weeks of on-again off-again attempts at getting a web-based browser for my SVN repositories working, I finally hit the magic combination. Seems that the load path for Python was not including /usr/local/lib by default (despite it being set for the system) so I added a SetEnv directive to my httpd.conf and viola.

I’m a big fan of those people who work at making things easier to use. And since I’ve mentioned this site twice to folks, and since I’ve had to search for it twice now too, thought I should make it easier on myself and record it here. The Open Usability group lets you register your project for consultation with folks who care how things work (via the Minnesota Interactive site).

A little slow here recently, as I’ve taken a new job and with it, a new schedule. After five years, I’ve moved on to a new IT job. Five years is a long time to stay in one place, in this industry. The change is good.

My son and I went walking last night after a day of periodic rain. Most of the water had dried, but he found one puddle in the park, about the size of a salad plate. He worked that puddle: stomped it, splashed it, patted it with his hands, circled it, tapped it. That puddle just kept on. After about 5 minutes of solid puddle play, Ari seemed satisfied with the puddle’s veracity and we moved on down the path.
