ab site testing

##16:44 Thursday 19 February 2015 JST##

Spent 6 hours working on AB site, planning for how to migrate them to their new server(s) (web + DB). That was while emailing S about some problem with server running out of memory. That ain't good. I boosted the allowed memory in config file, but would love to figure out what the actual problem is (more precisely than there's a lotta records!)

broke the crap out of my local hakyll repo

##17:36 Thursday 19 February 2015 JST##

Oops.

I thought it would be a good idea to hardcode my directory into my Hakyll binary, so now, until I remember how to build the Hakyll binary, I have to have it work from the ~/journal directory. However, I now want my ~/journal directory to be my new repo consisting of only journal entries.

I moved the Hakyll version of ~/journal to ~/journal-hakyll and moved my real journal to ~/journal, then added ~/journal as a subrepository of the Hakyll journal in ~/hakyll-journal.

That required some gymnastics each time I wanted to test the repo. To test the Hakyll journal, I had to swap the directory names back and then do the test. But to import any changes from the new journal repo into the Hakyll journal, I had to re-swap the names to their new configuration.

Bah, so I manually replaced "journal" with "journal-real" in ~/journal/.gitmodules then did a pull to get the latest changes.

Kablam! git pulled itself as its submodule and my repo got hosed beyond what I could untangle without access to internizzle.

Great lesson with GG in Akihabara! They are so inquisitive, creative, inspiring, understanding, and thankful! And I'm thankful for such a fun time in lessons with them.

M asked how I met Lin so I got to tell them that story.

I just gotta be careful to let them speak as well!!
