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.

Barnes & Noble Nook WiFi review -- Engadget

I love my Kindle and evangelize it at every opportunity. Often people get to know me as the "eReader guy" and come to me for advice regarding the gadgets. Whenever someone asks me the "Kindle or Nook" question, my response has always been the same: They both are so close in features, some minor points in each device's favor, but overall, I feel like the Kindle beat a Nook in almost every way. I think that has all changed in the current landscape. I've always said I thought the Kindle's keyboard was a vestigial tail and is a design compromise at best. The new Nook really thumbs its nose at the Kindle's aging design choices and I hope this major failing is resolved with the next generation of the device. The size and shape of the device, the soft, contoured back, and the touch screen are all exceptional bragging points for the new Nook and I really like the improvements over their first generation device. I wish Kindle took as large a leap for...

The Smart Alec Backpack is cooler than you. Even cooler than: TOM BIHN

Photo curtesey of Tom Bihn and user maverick Ordered a new backpack . I'm kinda geeky excited. I've owned one of Tom Bihn 's messenger bags before, and I can attest to the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail. I went with the Smart Alec over a Timbuk2 H.A.L. 2011 for both the simplicity of design and more importantly, molecularity of the inside; I can attach dedicated laptop protection or remove it for maximum empty volume for hiking or other activities. Now I have to wait for it to arrive!
