Found this in my drafts, figured I'd finish it and post, adding some "a year later" comments.

The Github API docs for teams are nicely complete, with good teaching examples, but lack really explicit, cut & paste examples: a little too "pseudo code" for something I use only sporadically. Recently I needed to add a bunch of repositories to a team in an organization. The web interface only allows one-at-a-time. What a pain for adding more than 40 repos. (We can talk about repo organization at another time. Trust me on that.) So, enough perusing of the docs eventually leads to:

PUT /teams/:id/repos/:owner/:repo

From which we see we need a team id, an owner (of what? The repo) and the repo itself.

We get the team id from here:

curl -s -i -u $GITCREDS https://api.github.com/orgs/Rhaptos/teams

The repos are owned by the organization, so we can use that name directly.

Putting that together, (after one round of errors from the nginx proxy server, complaining about 'Length Required') we get:

curl -s -i -u $GITCREDS -X PUT -H 'Content-Length:0' https://api.github.com/teams/12345/Rhaptos/Products.CatalogMemberDataTool

Check the github Organization homepage, and lo and behold, there it is!

So, since we have a convenient checkout of all the required repos in src:

for r in *; do curl -s -i -u $GITCREDS -X PUT -H 'Content-Length:0' https://api.github.com/teams/12345/repos/Rhaptos/$r ; done

Bam! 41 Repos in one team.

Easy enough for this bash jockey.

If you're going to define your own logger, you really need to define a handler or two, so the logs actually go somewhere. Like a Stream handler, or File handler, perhaps.
Just sayin'

It's a floor wax! It's a dessert topping! (forgive the ancient SNL reference)

Some time ago, before the iPad, there was a company call Entourage that had the vision to see that there was a coming market in tablets, specifically for education. The problem they saw was that the best format for reading (a major educational activity) was the then new ePaper, but a LCD based tablet gave a lot more functionality. So, they did the crazy engineering solution - a dual screen device - a foldering tablet, each leaf being a different screen - one ePaper, one LCD Android tablet. Entourage succumbed to the fate of many pioneers who forge ahead of the market - they had a quirky, not quite polished solution for a problem the market didn't know it had, and they didn't have the size or cachet of an Apple, to create the market.

This is a long winded way to say that the last of the Pocket eDGe devices (MSRP $399) recently sold on woot for $79. And I grabbed one. It arrived Friday. I've been playing with it (upgrading the android to a beta 2.2 build, finding what markets are available, what games/apps work, what break) I like it. I'll be posting about it as I try various things over the next weeks.

Since I've spent better than the last decade of my life helping others contribute to this thing we call the web, that I should finally put a stake in the ground and add my own thoughts to the mix. I'll be posting occasionally here, on topics ranging from Aikido to parenting, public schools, to technology in many forms. I'm trained as a molecular biologist/physical biochemist, but have been a mostly-self-taught computer enthusiast for even longer.
