Whiteboarding success

It’s not 2003 but the web-based Java applet whiteboard I set up then was as good as any obvious solution today. Wtf?

I played with several possible all-in-one solutions and came up short. I’m not paying and I prefer open-source, I would hope pay-to-play solutions are better, but I had to cobble something that works from pieces. TODO set up my own server of Mconf and OpenMeetings. For now, these will have to do:

Google hangouts in CHROME ONLY (Chrome is a PIG these days, I use FF – but Google of course providing a SHIT implementation on Firefox, fu)
AwwApp yes that is its name and there are many but this one worked on mobile with great zoom support

gcc seems to be getting smarter all the time. Sentience soon…?

Constant Improvement

After seeing this little gem on the xunitpatterns site:

(We are running all the tests before every check-in, aren’t we?)

I was glad that I baked my tests into the startup of A better Trader. As I build and run while coding, I’m constantly running my regression tests. Steady on.

Sometimes you just gotta stop and have a bump…

VirtualBox notes

WOW major virtualbox shenanigans
i seem to have broken my good boxes with something from this list:
1) upgraded ubuntu to 18.04
2) kept compton but it is not needed now that we have wayland compositor
3) installed virtualbox* packages to try to fix clock
after I uninstalled virtualbox and compton, ONE of them came back to life (but not the other)
the other is having ssh problems of some kind that cause immediate systemd problems

while investigating, we got LOTS of good progress on setup_linux.sh KEEP GOING
