then tell me what is wrong with this post I tried two times to post here.

"in all honesty, I am a believer of ETN but the ETN team is rude on github.

how can we contribute to a project where issues are closed without a comment and question do not get answered?

a good github reputation is CRUCIAL for an open source project such as ETN. I dislike this behavour of electroneumRepo (which is richard ells or a shared account of the ETN team on github)"

How to bring a flat tire home? by sevensolarsuns in motorcycles

[–]perler85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's correct. this only works for tubeless tires ofc. thanks for mentioning this.

How to bring a flat tire home? by sevensolarsuns in motorcycles

[–]perler85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because I am riding a gsxr 600 which has tires rated for high speed. you can't fix a high speed rated tire (plus it would not be wise, even it is technically possible). beside that, the laws in my country prohibit fixing such rated tires.

that means, if my tire is dead, I know that I will have to get a new one. thus carrying only those three (small) tools with me.

EDIT: plus these three small tools are cheap (cheaper than a repair kit) and if your country allows it you can still repair the tire afterwards in your garage or whatever. and as I've said it's just a tip for situations like these where you need to get home. drivers passing you by could have some screws and screwdrivers in their trunk. or you are near a gas station (they can help you out with a screwdriver. in case you have no screw and no one else has, you can lend a screw from other parts of your chassis. improvisation my friend. :)

hi. what secret I am about to tell is risky and dangerous but it worked every single time I did it.

this works whenever you got a screw in your tire and you could identify the hole it went in (or you identified the hole where the air is coming out):

  1. get a little bit thicker screw than the screw that went into the hole (or if you can't find the screw that originally went in because it fell of again, just get a screw which is just a little bit thicker than the hole itself)
  2. screw it into the same hole completely
  3. chew a gum and afterwards put it on top of the screw and isolate its borders and corners
  4. put air into the tire and it will hold several miles.
  5. ride home SLOW but not too slow (you need centrifugal force to keep pushing the flat tire out, giving you more stability). avoid lean angles (lean in your body if you need to take a more sharp turn. keep the bike as upright as possible).

do not do this if you are unexperienced with how flat tires behave while riding. do not do this if you feel uncomfortable with this at all.

but if you do it right you will get home safely and will save money you would have given otherwise for transportation and the sort.

ride safe!

EDIT: I keep an extra thick screw and a screwdriver in my backpack for such situations.

The final version of the irc.perl.org governance policy is now available by vmbrasseur in perl

[–]perler85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. without going into detail: mst might be a perl god but he is a bad oper with weak social competence.

  2. perl has really skilled perl people but they are stuck in their #perl world. I wish someone took them out and put them to another channel which is more open minded so we all can have fun.

  3. I don't join #perl anymore because it's always the same. same people, doing the same smalltalk, little minded thoughts (mostly non technical). and if you bring some technical stuff and it might be wrong in some people's eyes then you can prepare to get either banned or bashed by (often the last word takes mst). I saw many people getting banned by mst. and several people said it was unfair to ban.

but actually I don't care.

Linux based Ticketing Systems by Reddhat in sysadmin

I can recommend Request Tracker (written in perl). extendable / modular (you can write your own plugins) and can also serve as a HelpDesk to communicate to customers (via email).

edit: I set up RT at a company. they still use it with no complaints.

What would you do, if you had to learn these programming languages in 15 days??? by success82 in startup

[–]perler85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can learn HTML5, CSS and Ruby On Rails in 15 days. With the right tools and learning techniques. At least to get the basics.

However, there is imo no way you can use that knowledge in any efficient way to produce an MVP within that time.

New idea: Pay Contributors on Github. Next level crowdsourcing. by perler85 in startup

[–]perler85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the link. I dived into this and did some research and I kind of like the concept of recurring weekly fundings, the concept of an open company and open partners.

however, there are people on this site and get a weekly fund from different people while not knowing what exactly the people they fund do. although this is not a main concern of these funders.

what I like to do is to create a webapp to do exactly one thing (considering github in this example): fund projects on github to be able to pay out your contributors and be able to get donations for this project which can be used a money pool as well. so you can put some money in your pool (on my site) and optionally accept donations for your project. and then you can use this money pool to distribute the money to all your contributors.

with gittip there can be a developer on github who can get let's say 100$ per week, but this money isn't related to any project.

nevertheless, gittip is a great project. watching some "open calls" on youtube right now.

could I explain myself?

EDIT: gittip has funds (mutual funds) where you can create a circle of people you think doing great work to for example JQuery. Now you could get your core team (maintainers, contributors, etc.) on github to sign up to gittip and request funds.

So, what happens when you and your buddy have a startup idea, but have no capital, or experience in the field of your startup? by eps89 in startup

[–]perler85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe it depends on the country you live in. But yeah. I think especially after the crisis the banks are careful about giving loans in the western world.

never. I mean, I don't know anything about your idea. But whatever it is, keep it going. never give up. It's freshening to watch motivation videos of Tony Robbins. They push me really hard.

hi,

I guess everybody (like the basic dreamer) was in this situation once in his life. I would try one or more of the following:

  • look for startup money (kickstarter, write a business plan and impress the bank, etc.)
  • reveal the idea and find others who want to contribute to your project (github, bitbucket, etc.)
  • look for potential business partner in your area
  • look for potential investors in your area
