Subversion, Git and Mercurial

So last night, I was messing around with a lot of server side stuff, apache2 and subversion. I figured after so many years (and years?) of CVS use, it was time to do an upgrade to a more modern source control software.

I got apache2 installed, added in the webdav mod, enabled server certificates and all that running fine. Installed subversion but couldn't seem to access my repository. Very aggravating.

Then it occurred to me -- why am I spending all this time to get subversion running when my whole plan is to use a modern source control package?

Enter in the new contenders: Git, Mercurial and Bazaar. I ruled bazaar out for no particularly good reasons and focused on Git and Mercurial. There are a lot of hard hitters using both technologies and in the end, I chose git. Git has the benefits of being similar to cvs at the command line and I found Linus Torvalds arguments very compelling when researching these tools.

Later this week, I'll get my house repository running and update my progress.

Paradigm Switches

Sometimes in life, you just need to switch things up. You realize you've been doing things either just a little less efficiently or outright wrong and you just need to make a jump into something different... I hit this point over the last year and finally had the guts to make a major change. Yes, I bought a Mac Book Pro. Some background: I've been a Windows (and DOS before that) user since roughly the 5th grade (that would be 1984/1985-ish, eeek) and part time Linux user on and off since 1994.  Other than two years in college, I've used those platforms (and a little Solaris) exclusively -- that's 25 years of experience.  Twenty-five years of learning shortcuts, time savings, and overall comfort on a computing platform. All that experience, shaken up and shelved for now.  Well, sorta.  This is what I think so far: Pros: I LOVE the hardware.  Seriously. Dual video cards (one for low power, one for high performance) Upwards to 8 hours of battery life...
