Bazaar + Loggerhead = Greatness

When I changed servers, I lost my svn repositories because of me "losing" the files.  I swear i downloaded them somewhere... i just have no idea where!  Anyways,  I have recreated them using bazaar instead.  You can view my computer science course projects and other misc projects on the loggerhead page I have setup, http://loggerhead.petederemer.com

I must say.... Bazaar is a nice upgrade from svn :)

Google Chrome Coming To Linux… Soon

According to Lifehacker we could see Google Chrome on Linux as soon as the first quarter of 2009.  Personally I almost switched operating systems because I like Chrome so much, so the fact that it is finally making it's way to Linux is great news to me!

Family Tree Project

I have started a project to create a free version of our family tree.  Basically it is like Ancestry.com, however it is hosted on my server.  This means that my family would not have to pay for ancestry.com accounts, and we don't have to rely on Ancestry.com.  I'm never a fan of hosting something on a companies server when you can do it yourself.

So far there are close to 800 people added to the family tree.  I've managed to find things online, taking the Spiker Family back into 1702, in Switerzland.

I want to invite everyone in my family to create an account (for free) and add your details to the site.  Its the best way to get all of the family information into one spot, and it is up to multiple sides of the family to do this because one person can not possibly know everything.  I would really like to see this project because something big that the entire family learns about and spends 5 minutes of their time to fill out there families information, and anything else they can add to other people they know.

Note: Living people can not be viewed on the site unless you login.  This is to protect the privacy of those still living.  Everyone can see those who are not longer living, without logging in.

The website is http://family.petederemer.com.

Server Move

Andrew Butcher and I have teamed up and bought a new server.  We now have a SliceHost server.  If you switch to SliceHost, please use this referal.

There might be a few bugs in the system, but I believe everything should be setup correctly.  Please just comment if you notice anything wierd.
