Execuhitch on a 2012 BMW X5 M-Sport
Apparently, the X5 is about the most complicated “utility vehicle” to use for towing. I don’t know why BMW doesn’t make this easier, but they don’t. Their OEM hitch option is clearly an afterthought and looks terrible, especially on an … Continue reading

There is no shortage of writeups online about converting a B7’s ugly yellow daytime running lights to LEDs. It was Nick’s that made me decide to do the actual conversion, and part of the reason why I decided to add … Continue reading
The magical sleeping development machine
For years now, I’ve preferred to do all my development on a dedicated machine. This means my desktop (or laptop, depending) is just a glorified terminal-and-editor-running appliance. It probably comes from years of crashing boxes during kernel development, but it … Continue reading

A tool for watching Zuul and Jenkins
In my work on OpenStack Nova, I often have multiple patches in flight somewhere on the CI system. When patches are first submitted (or resubmitted) they go into Zuul’s “check” queue for a first pass of the tests. After a … Continue reading
