As expected setting up PHP5 was the biggest pain so far.

Link collection about version control systems
Recently I was talking about decentralized version control systems in a german podcast show. For preparing myself I read a lot of articles on that matter and I thought it would be useful for others to share the URLs I stumbled upon.

- Git vs. Mercurial: Please Relax (August 2008)
- Version Control System Comparison Matrix (Probably badly outdated)
- Why Git is Better than X (Up to date but very general)
- Why GIT? (Extensive! A lot can be learned about VCSs in general. Recommended!)
- Understanding Version-Control Systems (Partly outdated but still a good overview of the past)
- E-Mail from Linus Torvalds to a KDE Dev explaining git and advantages of decentralized version control
- Merge Vs. Rebase – a Deep Dive Into the Mysteries of Revision Control (2009)
- Eric’s Take On Git And Svn (2008)
- Git vs SVN for bosses (Stupid I think)
- Git’s Major Features Over Subversion
- Why Choose Bazaar? (Bazaar vs everything else with Bazaar being the winner 🙂
Metaclasses in Ruby Part II
Thanks you “The Ruby Programming Language Book” and why the lucky stiff and his poignant guide to ruby for clueing me in. Again – consider this a note to myself or as practice.
Metaclasses in Ruby Part I
This is mainly an exercise for myself. Nothing new here. Just a place for me to keep all that in mind.
