KVM trolleys in Datacenters have always bugged me. You wheel, you plug in, you can fix yourself and the trolley comfortably in an aisle.

I’m going to build this as a replacement. Hook it onto whatever cabinet your working on. Boom!

So I bought an Ethernet Shield and a MacBook Air… with no ethernet port…. sheeeeeeit.

Kick ass way to show your git branch in your terminal window:

To do this, simply edit your bash profile with

vim ~/.bash_profile

Then add these lines to it:

function parse_git_branch {
ref=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD 2> /dev/null) || return
echo “(“${ref#refs/heads/}”)”
}

RED=”\[\033[0;31m\]”
YELLOW=”\[\033[0;33m\]”
GREEN=”\[\033[0;32m\]”

PS1=”$RED\$(date +%H:%M) \w$YELLOW \$(parse_git_branch)$GREEN\$ “

I originally started a website to point the finger at poorly parked cars. It was one of those 10 minute ideas that I just decided to go ahead with. I decided on a name quickly without really thinking about it at all.

After some tweets pouring in, I decided to dig deeper into the definition of the word mong.

Web Definition: a mixture, a crowd (e.g. mongcorn means maslin)^[1]; A mongrel dog^[2]; Shortened version of Mongoloid, a person with Down’s syndrome; ‘mong is an aphetic for among^[1]

After reading the definition, I’m not going to lie, my heart sank a little bit. It’s extremely disrespectful and against all my morals to use such a crass word for the website. I should have done my homework better.

I’ve removed the site now and hopefully to anyone this has effected, I’m truly sorry. It was never intended this way.
