I printed out some stuff about the project, but I didn’t have a chance to read it before this weekend’s podcast. I’ll try to bring it up in next week’s show.

I feel that’s somewhat of an accomplishment for a non-programmer.

Before that, I would edit the html/css/images, send the files to the programer, who would put in repository and deploy. Very inefficient.

I’m wondering how other design/programmers work together. Does your designer use Git/Subversion? If not, what’s your process?

By the way, here’s a great Richard Dolan video. Skip ahead to 12:15 – the guy takes forever introducing him. Tell me it wouldn’t be awesome to have him on as a guest! 😉

Aldrin confirmed that there was no such sighting of anything deemed extraterrestrial, and said they were and are “99.9 percent” sure that the object was the detached panel.

Too bad 🙂

Many people believe in God so you have to see if their belief in UFOs is similar. Like Carl Sagan said in Demon Haunted World. (he didn’t believe in UFOs)

It’s not that I’m advocating that anyone do it that way, it’s just me being honest about my own laziness. 😉 That said, I’m really liking Subversion.

Now as far as Mercurial goes, I think I need to just take it one step at a time and get used to using Subversion first doing anything crazy. Moving to a distributed version control system at this point would probably be too much change in too short a period of time. I’d probably end up giving myself the bends! 😉

Anyway, I always look forward to your comments, BAMS. 😉
