Version control and the new understanding

July 15, 2008

For some time I’ve used Subversion to maintain a remote copy of all my irreplaceable but frequently edited files. For a while this was workable despite my limited comprehension of SVN commands. Recently, however, things have become more untenable. I was using an OS X GUI client called svnX. That was working fine but more and more I was seeing odd errors that my limited understanding could not explain nor overcome.

A moment ago I came across Kurt Vonnegut on Writing Better over at 43Folders. I read Merlin’s take on the origination of the post. I read Merlin’s tale of breakfast with Mr. Vonnegut. Then, for some reason, I was compelled to follow the link back to Metafilter where Merlin first came across his subject matter.

Olympia

July 10, 2008

I began working in late 2007 on what was then called, Orsa Modus (Starting Plan). And, as with many things I dropped it for quite a while. From time to time I would tinker with the design. Finally, now, more than 6 months since I first started working on Orsa Modus it has now become Olympia. There’s still quite a bit that hasn’t been done. I’m pretty sure no one can even see this post because I haven’t set up an RSS feed for the site. I honestly can’t recall.
