I, Kiwinewt, am a TechnoHippy.

Technohippies are a breed of their own. They are not malicious, but only interested in the way things work. They have a broad wisdom of many different technologies. Ignorance and hatred is looked down upon by the technohippy. The technohippy embraces the environment and will do as much as they can to protect it and help it flourish. All in all, a technohippy is a philosophically-open eccentric geek.

Using these commands fixes this (skip the first one if the trac folder is already [...]

Yeah yeah. I know, I really should start posting here more, given that I am paying for this domain, as apposed to posting to LJ by default. It crossposts there anyway so its more logical to do it here
So anyway, what have I been up to to date?

Started my final project for my [...]
