ABOUT IDLELO

IDLELO5 Started officially on Tuesday but unofficially on Monday. My trip started with a connecting flight to Abuja (ABV) via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. My bag was tagged ABJ (Abidjan) and I had to exercise my right to compensation.

gnomeDIAicons

gnomeDIAicons is a package with a network icons scheme based on Gnome Gorilla's theme.

The purpose of this project is generate beauty icons to Dia program and provide a raise in its utilization against MS Visio.

I hope it can be useful for many people. I'll provide others schemes too, but at first only network scheme was made.

Git Compression

Git is lazy about housekeeping in favour of being fast. In extreme cases one person reported that the .git folder was 32 MiB for 70 KiB of source code.

A few tips to mitigate this,

# Ensure maximum compression.
git config --global core.compression 9
 
# Housekeeping commands that should be run occasionally.
git gc --aggressive
git repack -a -d
