Pomme::TAB

I’ve started to miss making blog posts with fancy diagramme, mind-blowing pie charts.

The Open letter from Opera’s CTO published in The Register has given me the opportunity to drawn this blog under the total wisdom of yet another pie chart as buried in the comments to the article, I found this:

You’ll notice it’s in the same vein as that one from last year

I hate subversion right now.

For reasons outside my control I have to keep development branches open for a long time and therefore I need to sync them regularly with trunk and these merge operations are quite annoying and source of headaches.

Additionally, in the recent months I found myself coding disconnected from a network more often than before and I wished I could commit my changes locally and sync them when back online.

Some perl developers around me have played with SVK in the past, and at the end of last year I came across a blog post reviewing several Distributed Version Control System (DVCS).

And Let’s not forget DARCS.

I’ll play with a couple of these, but my choice may be simpler as two developers in my team have already started using Git with the git-svn hook between themselves.

Recently, I’ve been working on a Rails project for the first time.
It’s a nice change after years of perl.

There are quite a few little things that I knew how to do in perl, that I didn’t have clue on how to do it in Rails. Also I run into issue peculiar to Rails or ruby.

I solved all these issues so far and the links below give pointers to some helpful information.
