Posted on 23. Aug, 2011 by todd.
One of the fellows at work asked me to jot down how I use git on our projects. It seems there are as many different ways to use git as there are git users. This is how I’m using git at the moment, your mileage will vary. Master Branch I don’t do any work in [...]

Posted on 01. May, 2011 by todd.
Introduction I’ve been playing with git for a couple of weeks now. I must admit that I’m pretty late to the git party and haven’t really seen much need to use a DCVS for our projects at Entero. We’ve used source control since we started 15 years ago. Initially we started with RCS, yes RCS [...]

Network Configuration – Home
Posted on 26. Dec, 2010 by todd.
The Challenge Connect my office and our house to the network. No problem right? Small problem, my office is about 95m (300 ft) in a separate building from the house. I briefly thought about running some Cat 5 or fibre between the buildings but figured a wireless solution would be easier. Well, less digging anyway [...]

Java One 2009 – Summary
Posted on 07. Jun, 2009 by todd.
Summary In the blink of an eye the 2009 edition of Java One is over. It was a good conference. Not the best Java One I’ve been to but still very much worth the trip down to San Francisco. The biggest unknown is what impact Oracle’s purchasing of Sun will have on Sun’s direction of [...]

Friday Keynote – The "Toy Show" In what has become an anual tradition, James Gosling hosted a two hour session in which he highlights some of his favorite things by the Java community. It’s a good show and well worth a watch. I was pretty happy to see Brendan Humpries of Atlassian get a Dukie [...]

Java One 2009 – Day 1
Posted on 06. Jun, 2009 by todd.
General Session Pretty typical of previous years. Billions of devices, millions of developers blah blah blah. Java Store introduced. Strikes me a bit of me too wrt to the Apple App Store. No relevance for Entero. Scott McNally and Larry Ellison talk about the future of the platform (with all sorts of caveats about future [...]
