Re: What are you working on right now?

What language are you starting with?

I'm going to try to stick with LOLCODE
http://lolcode.org/

I find computer programming rather dull and this is the only language that amuses me sufficiently to maintain my interest.

It is spring where I live and I have a sailboat that needs some TLC...

Re: What are you working on right now?

Just transplanted my Alpine Linux system from a multi-partition (2 GNU/Linux ext4 filesystems & an OpenBSD disklabel), multi-boot (Arch, Alpine & OpenBSD) set up to an unpartitioned disk with a btrfs filesystem laid over the entire device with just Alpine running.

I `rsync`d the whole system [1] to a USB3 stick, used `blkdiscard /dev/sdX` [2] then `mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdX`, then used `rsync` again to transfer the filesystem tree to the new drive layout.

Of course I had to `chroot` in to rebuild the initramfs, edit grub.cfg & /etc/fstab and then `grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX` but that was it.

The system rebooted cleanly and even remembered where I was browsing

empty@alpine ~ % sudo lsblk   
NAME MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda    8:0    0 111.8G  0 disk /
empty@alpine ~ % df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs         10M     0   10M   0% /dev
shm             1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda        112G  5.5G  106G   5% /
tmpfs           376M  288K  375M   1% /run
cgroup_root      10M     0   10M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup

We don't need no stinkin' partition table 8)

Re: What are you working on right now?

I probably won't ever do this again, but after publishing my first novel in 2013 (Without Bloodshed), I let my publisher talk me into doing a prequel called Silent Clarion as a web serial and then a Kindle serial. I'm currently going through editorial changes for Silent Clarion, Part 6: Rainchecks for Ragnarok.
