Tafasta merubhe, lo tafasta.
תפסת מרובה לא תפסת

- Ancient Hebrew proverb from the Talmud (Translation: Try to catch too much, catch nothing.)

I had an unsatisfying couple of days that got me thinking what I was doing wrong.

In retrospect, I realized I was jumping all over the place, trying to keep too many balls in the air. I was investigating the rsync algorithm, while trying to fix a TurnKey build problem, while researching distributed filesystems, etc.

This is problematic for two main reasons:

A while back I decided it would be a good idea to combine a loose collection of related Git repositories into one big Git repository.

The rational for this was that I noticed that often the same logical change had to be broken up into multiple commits across these previously separate repositories in a way that made it difficult to track which changes were part of the same change. In other words it artificially fragmented the commits and made revisions harder to track.

Drum roll please... May I proudly introduce: The TurnKey Linux v14.0 release!

A long time coming...

Wow is it mid September already!? What has happened to the year?!
