The Subversion experiment

So, I finally got around to taking Subversion and Tortoise SVN for a spin this weekend and have come to the conclusion that I won’t be using them—at least during this phase of the project. (more…)

Stalling…

I have to admit it. I’ve been stalling on the next step in HomeGame. But, I’ve had good reason.

The next step is installing and evaluating Subversion source control. While Subversion is garnering a lot of interest in the source control world, being the most interesting source control service is sort of like being the prettiest girl at ugly camp.

After doing everything genuinely productive to avoid taking on Subversion, I broke down and bought a Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote Control so that I would have something to program.

Actually, I tried to install Subversion and discovered that it’s an Apache plug-in, which means either setting up my laptop running Fedora 7 as a permanent server or trying to get Apache to coexist nicely with IIS on my main development machine if I want to run it locally.

Hopefully, I’ll find a workable solution this weekend and get it set up. But, now that I have the Harmony, I can control my DVD player and I have 300 waiting.
