Nowadays I take it for granted that everything is in git. Even my Uni dissertation was stored in a git repo. But this is a story of the first time I was exposed to source control, back when SVN was the top dog, and someone had a genius idea of how to set it up on a server. Continue reading »
Take A Break
It happened again. It got towards the end of the financial year and I had a large chunk of remaindered holiday to take. Last year I was in San Francisco but this year I just wanted to do nothing. Continue reading »
An Old Portfolio
My “business” site, as in the place I don’t ramble on about code and movies and the world, has been a bit neglected recently. I say recently, but the last update was at the start of this decade and since then it has received nery a touch. Continue reading »
