       i
       iBig thanks to christyotwisty [0] for daring to be the first person
       ito dive into the world of burrow with me. It was fun getting her
       iup and running and I picked up a few todo items as a result. She's
       iusing burrow on the SDF cluster, which comes with a couple
       icomplications. Still, I think we managed to get everything running
       ipretty quickly.
       i
       iSome notes from the experience:
       i
       i  SDF Specific Stuff
       i
       i  - SDF umask settings are weird by default. Had to change those
       i    to 022 to get her posts to show up automatically.
       i
       i  - PATH variables are also lacking by default. I carry my
       i    dotfiles with me from system to system so I hadn't noticed. We
       i    couldn't run "source" at one point because of it, though.
       i
       i  Burrow Specific Stuff
       i
       i  - Christy wants to add categories to her phlog. My phlog action
       i    in burrow currently assumes a single directory and posts over
       i    time or alphabetically (if you're weird). I'll have to think
       i    about how best to add category support, or maybe tags? Hmm...
       i
       i  - There were some pain points in updating burrow when not
       i    cloning the repo and using git commands. This led me to add a
       i    new action to burrow: update-burrow.
       i
       i    "burrow update-burrow" will attempt to auto-update the
       i    application. If you are running it from a local folder that is
       i    a git repo, it'll pull the latest version of the repo. If you
       i    have it in a local non-repo folder it will attempt to use cURL
       i    to update each of the files in that directory that start with
       i    "burrow" (the app, man page, and bash-completion). If you have
       i    installed the app with "sudo make install" you'll need to run
       i    "sudo burrow update-burrow" to update the app. It will not
       i    update the man page or bash-completion, though... just the
       i    app. If it gets a lot of use I may try to make it smarter and
       i    update more, but for now it's a good-enough feature.
       i
       i    Oh, since it's sorta dangerous (as in it could break your
       i    burrow install) I prompt for confirmation on this one.
       i
       i  - We needed to update the configuration file a bunch while
       i    getting started. Remembering where that is can be confusing
       i    for new users so I added another action: edit-config.
       i
       i    "burrow edit-config" will open up your configuration file. If
       i    you don't have one it spits out a warning for now. I'll
       i    probably have that prompt to create one instead in the future.
       i    Perhaps that would be a good addition when I add the burrow
       i    menu interface. For now, good enough.
       i
       iThanks again to christyotwisty. I'm looking forward to more phlog
       iposts from you.
