Sorry I haven't updated my blog or other sites.I have been real busy at work and personal life. Sometimes it feels like I don't even have time for anything else! Anyway here goes the updates.
I haved poster some scripts on google code.
1. Portmaster Menu Sccript
2. VIRCS
Right now they are just scripts I uploaded, but I am going to use CVS to keep them updated. Also, I am going to try to convert the RCS script to use CVS as a future project.

Ports management in FreeBSD
After re-installing FreeBSD 7.1 for testing numerous time, I decided to not use portupgrade anymore. I have decided to switch to a non-db backend system with bpkg and portmaster for my ports management. Bpkg is da bomb, you can do all types of queries on installed/not-installed ports. My favorite is "bpkg -p $1 | egrep '^[a-z]'". I have added it as a function called "sp" to my .zshrc file. With the output I can just copy and paste to a portmaster line, now that's super easy. Be sure to check out all the options for bpkg.
