This is the first assignment in my Humanitarian...err...Free Open...um, S-omething...Software class. It takes us through the tools used in the class.
IRC: I've used mIRC before, but figuring out which slot to put in channel name and which to put in nickname still took a while. I found friends who took the class before on it, and asked them about the class and the chat channel.
Blog: Oh man, this part of the post can be an endless turtle tower. "I wrote that I wrote that I wrote..."
I didn't give much thought for which service to use. In the future I should hook the blog with my personal website.
This should be fun and rewarding. Good thing to have a record of thoughts to reflect upon.
Github: I learned to use Github from friends who took HFOSS. It's a great tool and I used it in this year's Global Game Jam. My other class, Data Visualization, is doing the same - hosting and gathering assignments on Github.
Patching: As I write the post the airport's internet is struggling to clone the project to my hard drive. It'll be fun to read through everyone's .yaml file when we turned them in.
