Day 130: Staff Only
This is the sign on the front entrance of the hospital. You can only go in around the side. It must be like a secret entrance or something. It really doesn't make too much sense though I realize more and more how common of a thing that is in the little world that surrounds me here.

Day 129: Rose Garden
Vince spotted this rose garden hidden behind a concrete wall as we passed by on a bus. On our way back we decided to stop by and inspect it a bit further. It was over grown, but beautiful... especially in a place like this.

Day 128: Closed for Cleaning
It gets annoying sometimes to have to live in three different time zones. We're on central time ("home time"), local time, and zulu time. Zulu is a set time no matter where you are in the world. I really wish we were all on zulu time, so I wouldn't ever have to worry about time zones.

Day 127: Stamps
Vince bought these for me after we saw them in a little shop here on the FOB (forward operating base). They're stamps! The shop owner said they use them mostly in India to decorate fabrics. A lot of the goods around here come from India since this country isn't as big on production of such things. They're more into the re-selling of stuff it seems, but if I've learned correctly, Indian culture is quite big here since Afghanistan was actually apart of India a loooong time ago. Afghanistan seems to get pushed and pulled all sorts of ways if you look at it's history. Russia, Pakistan, Rome, England, India.... I'm no historian, but it does fascinate me. What do you know about Afghanistan history & culture? Let's share something with the class.... :-)

Day 126: Texas Street
This sign brought a little smile to my face. I'm a Texan if you didn't know. I couldn't get a good picture since I didn't want to stand in the street or the open sewer that runs alongside it, so I settled for my safe position on the sidewalk.

Derive, Italy in crisis
An archaeology
All'ombra di un pino
Magic Campo
Seipersei® Books
With the advent of the economic crisis Italy it has found it increasingly difficult to manage the social and environmental problems that afflict the country. From the waste emergency in Campania to the floods in Tuscany, from the Emilia and L'Aquila earthquakes, to the sinking of the Costa Concordia at Isola del Giglio, amidst and economic depression marketed by popular protests, such as the movements in Val di Susa, Italy is now in its most troubled era since the Second World War.
Derive (Drifts) is a collection of photographic reportages concerning the social and environmental issues in Italy between 2008 and 2013. It chronicles the lives, hopes and dreams of Italian people, a journey through the social unease in which many Italians are forced to live during this time. The material was completed in 2013 and first published December 2013 in the book Derive.

Buddy Up
Take a look at the insides of the cars stuck in a traffic jam, and you'll notice something: most of the cars only have one person in them! This is part of the reasons for the jam in the first place, and just think how much money they're all spending. If you live near someone that you work with, then you shouldn't think twice about buddy-ing up and sharing the journey to work with them. Just make sure it's a colleague that doesn't irritate you, and it might even be fun - and you'll have instantly halved your commuting budget.
Smart Car Driving
Of course, we're not just going to and from work in our vehicles; we're going everywhere! So it's unlikely that selling your car or only using it for work is an option. However, you can cut the cost of car ownership, in two primary ways. The first is to lease your car, rather than buy, from a company like intelligentcarleasing.com. It can reduce your monthly expenditures, and you won't need to worry about depreciation. The second is to learn how to drive properly: if you're easy on the brakes, not so hard on the accelerator, you'll soon find that you're spending much less cash on gas.
Wherever Possible, Walk or Cycle
There are many incidences when it's just not worth driving. We're so used to just hopping in our vehicles, that we forget that sometimes taking the bus isn't just cheaper - it can sometimes be faster! For shorter distances, walking or cycling would be a better option. If you're cycling, then you'll have to spend some cash buying a bike, but it'll last you for years, will save you money, and get you fitter at the same time. Easy decision.
Flying at the Right Time
We're all going abroad more often than we used to, to the point where we have to include the cost of flights into our budgets! If you're travelling often, it's time to become a savvy-traveller. Flying during the week, for example, is much cheaper than flying at the weekend. And checked baggage? It costs more, and you probably don't really need it - we're all guilty of taking clothes on holiday that we never end up wearing!
You're never going to have no travel costs, but with a bit of thought, you can keep the costs to a minimum!

Long day of mostly forgettable meetings yesterday, so this is my first opportunity to really think about the news that erstwhile Sox closer and projected starter Jonathan Papelbon is heading back to the pen for the forseeable future. All signs seem to indicate that both Papelbon and the Sox' front office wanted to make this move, which bodes well for organizational harmony. Additionally, the media is reporting that the ballclub is pretty happy with it, which is a positive from a confidence and chemistry perspective.
On the other hand, this leaves a bunch of questions, the answer(s) to which will reveal the ultimate value of the change.
1. Julian Tavarez is now the Sox' 5th starter. Tavarez pitched pretty well in 6 starts at the end of last year, but that was garbage time with far less pressure than he'll face now that he's critical to the Sox' pennant chances. If he's solid, say 150 innings at league-average ERA, then I have to like their odds. If he stinks, though, the Sox 5th starter slot could be the source of much consternation, at least until we know...
2. The status of Jon Lester's recovery. The Sox are better informed (y'know, duh) than anyone about Lester's health and strength. If they feel he'll be able to contribute during the second half of the season, then Tavarez is a reasonably low-risk gamble. If they don't expect much from Lester, then the Tavarez experiment could really blow up, unless...
3. This opens a door for Roger Clemens to come back to Boston. It's now a pretty compelling fit both for the Sox and for the Texas Con Man. My disdain for Clemens is well documented and remains active. I'd have no choice but to hold my nose and root for the Sox if they hired that mercenary bastard, but man would I feel dirty doing it.
On balance, then, I'm supportive of the move. Papelbon seems much happier, and is saying all the right things about his excitement for closing for now and for the next 10 years. The Sox plug a major hole while creating a much smaller one (because the incremental lift in going from Pineiro et al to Papelbon is a hell of a lot greater than the incremental loss in going from Papelbon to Tavarez) and have some options if Tavarez doesn't pan out. All's well that ends well, so long as the ending doesn't feature a 44 year-old douchebag wearing No. 21.

China Inverter Welding and Cutting Equipment Industry, Radiation Cured Products, Electronic Recycling Market Aerial Imaging Market and Report 2013-2015 - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019: Research Report Now Available at MarketResearchReports.Biz
11 Mar, 2014, 09:30 GMT
ALBANY, New York, March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
MarketResearchReports.Biz includes new market research report " China Inverter Welding and Cutting Equipment Industry Report, 2013-2015 - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2015" to its large collection of research report
Due to the slowdown in economic growth, China shipbuilding, construction machinery and steel structure industries have suffered depression. As a result, the demand for crude steel products is on a decline, leading to a falling demand for inverter welding and cutting equipments. In 2013, China inverter welding and cutting equipment industry achieved single-digit growth rate, with the overall market size reporting RMB10.4 billion, on a par with 2012 in the main.
2013 witnessed a rising proportion of inverter welding and cutting equipments to 35% of the total in China, reflecting a narrowing gap comparing to developed countries. As the inverter technology becomes popular, the advantage of the inverter welding and cutting equipment grows conspicuous, and the pace to replace traditional welding and cutting equipments is speeding up. It is expected that the proportion of inverter welding and cutting equipments in the overall welding and cutting equipment industry will jump to 50% by 2015.
Shenzhen Riland Industry boasts China's largest inverter welding and cutting equipment manufacturer, with the capacity of inverter welder approaching 600,000 sets. In 2012, the company's output and sales volume claimed 588,045 sets and 598,713 sets respectively, of which, 90% were inverter welding equipments. In H1 2013, the revenue of the company from inverter welding equipments business decreased by 9.76% year-on-year, as a result of the weakened downstream demand. In recent two years, Shenzhen Riland Industry has got its laggard sales network improved. At the same time, the construction of its Kunshan-based project is expected to further improve its production capability. And the business performance of the company is expected to see a robust growth when the industry rebounds.

Shenzhen Jasic Technology, China's second largest inverter welding and cutting equipment manufacturer, has realized the capacity of inverter welding and cutting equipments approximating between 400,000 and 500,000 sets. In 2012, the output and sales volume of the company hit RMB425,424 sets and 425,953 sets, respectively, of which, inverter welding equipments took up 92% of the total. In H1 2013, under the backdrop of sluggish industrial status quo, the revenue from its inverter welding equipment business saw a slight increase by 2.7% year-on-year. In 2013, the company's Shenzhen-based inverter welding equipment project realized full capacity. With the growing demand in the future, the business performance of the company is expected to see rapid rise.

I got my inspiration from some of my favorite fellow cookiers....Linzy and Lilaloa just to name a few.
We only allow friendly monsters in our house.
Even Frankenstein can be a little bit cute..huh?
Hope Halloween was fun for all of you! Better buckle up and get ready.... I have a feeling, with the holidays around the corner, the next few months might just be a blur!

Cat engines with ACERT technology that meet EPA Tier 3 and European Union Stage IIIa exhaust emission regulations power Caterpillar's new T-Series track-type tractors.
Engines on the D8T, the D9T and the D10T feature a controller that manages fuel delivery and airflow.
The controller monitors engine and machine conditions while keeping the engine operating at peak efficiency.
Caterpillar says the controller lets the engine respond quickly to changing application needs and provides maximum performance.
The D8T uses a 15L C15 engine (259kW), the D9T an 18L C18 engine (346kW), and the D10T a 27L C27 engine (482kW).
The machines have an electronically controlled heavy-duty planetary powershift transmission with three speeds forward and three speeds reverse. They have large diameter, high-capacity oil-cooled clutches and an electronic modulation system that lets the operator perform quicker changes in speed and direction.
Caterpillar says the operator stations are comfortable with their larger cabs, a lowered beltline, low profile door handles and a larger window area.
A tapered bonnet, notched fuel tank and narrow single-shank ripper carriage give the operator a clear line of sight to front and rear work areas. Large, single-pane door windows let the operator see close to the sides of the machine.
Steering, machine direction and gear selection are all clustered in a single control handle for one-handed operation. The D10T, with a finger tip control steering system, works like a traditional clutch and brake arrangement, but needs far less effort.
The D8T and D9T use a dual-twist tiller to control the standard differential steering system.
A rigidly mounted handgrip houses the ripper control lever. It provides firm support when ripping in rough terrain, and low-effort finger and thumb controls for all ripper functions.
The electro-hydraulic dozer and ripper controls are placed for easy operation. They also provide a framework for future plug-and-play attachment integration.
The company says Computer Aided Earthmoving Systems and AccuGrade laser systems can be more readily installed with a dedicated mounting position in the front console and integrated electronics.
It says a new Advisor Monitoring System provides on-board diagnostics to minimise downtime and maximise machine performance.
An optional AutoCarry feature provides automatic blade control while the dozer is carrying a load.
The mainframes on the machines absorb the high impact shock loads and twisting forces found in many applications, while the main case elevates the final drives above the ground level work area to protect them from impact loads, abrasion and contaminants.
All three machines have a pivot shaft that runs through the mainframe and connects to the roller frames, which allows independent oscillation.
The machines can be equipped with the optional Caterpillar Product Link PL300, a feature that lets the customer see machine diagnostics and location information from their offices. It can provide updates on service hours, machine condition and machine location.
Attachments for the machines include universal and semi-universal blades. The D8T range can also use an angling blade.

Our Team
I have been a registered dental assistant since 1998. In 2006, I joined Goehring Dental and have been a part of the family ever since. I have a vast knowledge of dentistry and its many procedures make me a great asset to the Goehring Dental family. I attend annual continuing education courses throughout the year to keep my skill set fresh and informed. In between my job as a dental assistant and continuing education, I am also an exceptionally committed mother, wife, sister and aunt. Originally from Eagle Pass, TX, I come from a family of 8 and understand the value of community and taking care of each other, which I extend to my patients. My husband David of 9 years and I reside in Buda, TX and enjoy spending time with our 6-year-old son DJ. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, going to the movies and spending time with family and friends.
I grew up in South Austin and have been in the dental field for over 20 years. After Dr. Goehring's purchase of our dental practice, I was kept on as part of the team to help serve our patients and now combined patients from Dr. Goehring's other practice. I love working with my new dental team and look forward to many more years taking care of our patients.
I have a wonderful 24 year old son Kirby who is attending nursing school. I love spending time with him in addition to snow skiing, kayaking and spending time at the coast, saltwater fishing, playing shuffle board and listening to live music.
I have been with the practice since 2004, working as a clinical assistant. I love working in the dental field and getting to know all our patients, and am proud to work for the best dentist in Austin. I'm currently in my last semester at Texas State studying microbiology. I live in Dripping Springs with my Husband and our small zoo (3 of the world's best dogs and 2 grumpy cats), and am lucky to get to spend summers with my awesome step-son.
Jessica has been a part of our dental team for over 12 years. By being a constant staple in our practice, patient's appreciate the longevity and the fact that they know who they will see when they come in for their cleaning appointments. Jessica enjoys educating her patients and showing them new techniques on keeping their oral hygiene up to par.
Jessica and her husband Jay, of 14 years live in Dripping Springs, TX with their 3 beautiful kids, Cohen 9, Emory, 8 and Harper, 6. In between baseball practice, dance rehearsal and a busy schedule Jessica enjoys relaxing at home, doing crafts or creative home projects with the kids and travelling.
Brandi has been with us since 2016. She is the newest addition to our dental family here at Goehring Dental. She came to us with 13 years of dental experience her first 5 years dedicated to being an assistant and eventually moved to the front desk. Brandi manages our front desk and insurance verification. Originally from outside of Savannah Georgia, Brandi moved to Austin in 2015 with her 3 kids ages 11, 8 and 3 and has settled quite nicely in North Austin where things are a little slower a little bit quieter, similar to where she grew up in Georgia.
I bring over 20 years of experience in the dental field and I am excited to learn more. I love that Goehring Dental not only offers all forms of general dentistry, but also offers care for our special needs population. Dr. Goehring's genuine kindness for all of his patients is just one of the reasons I appreciate working here. I live in Buda with my husband Travis, our daughter Maxie and our chiweenie Rocky. In my free time I love to run, exercise, read, travel and shop. I also enjoy watching my daughter do competitive gymnastics.
I have been in the dental field since 1997. I started working as an office assistant and was later trained as a chairside assistant. I really enjoyed working in a dental office and decided to attend Dental Hygiene school. In 2001, I graduated from Coastal Bend College with a major in Dental Hygiene. In 2004, I married my husband Tim and became a mom to our son Jet in 2008.
I have enjoyed working in all aspects of the dental field including the 7 years I spent working in pediatrics. I have worked for Dr. Goehring since 2008 and love my job! He is a wonderful dentist and I look forward to many more years working here with him.
I joined Dr. Goehring's team in 2009 and have over 20 years experience in the dental field. My start in the dental office was as a dental assistant for many years before transitioning to the administrative side of dentistry. I truly enjoy helping our patients with any dental needs they may have, from the clinical treatment to insurance or financial options. Becoming part of this staff has been a very rewarding journey for me. I feel very fortunate to work for such a great dentist and team, I am proud of the service we provide our patients and look forward to being here for a very long time. On my free time I enjoy spending time with my daughter, Cassie and visiting friends. We recently moved to Buda and are enjoying getting to know the town and love the small town feel of it.
We have a yorkie, Jack and boxer, Sophie who are the babies of the family and rule the house!
I started in the dental profession as a dental assistant when I was 17 years old and have been in the profession for almost 10 years. I have been working with Dr. Goehring since September of 2010, where I plan to stay and retire from due to his honesty and loyalty to his patients and staff.
My favorite past time is salt water fishing with my husband of almost 4 years . I also love spending time with family and friends bbqing and playing at the lake. I must not forget to mention what we call our child, my Shih tzu "Emoe Sirs."

Koerner Hall, the sumptuous and spiffy new concert hall at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, celebrated the second day of its grand opening festival with a sold-out jazz program to demonstrate the organizers' willingness to provide different musical genres to the vast metropolitan community. Audience members of all ages admired the new performance center.
Some of the jazz-rock fusion legends making up Return to Forever (RTF)Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny Whiteare starting a world tour, making this a special night to enjoy the exciting lineup as well as discover the new 1,135-seat performance hall.
Juno award-winner vocalist Sophie Milman opened the evening with a comfortable selection of her personal favorites while easing the crowd into the evening. Singing a few cuts from her album Take Love Easy (E1 Records, 2009), the upbeat and easy mood reflects how Milman views life and what her current direction is in her young and successful career. The sound was just right and never required the slightest change on the part of all performers.
Corea, Clarke and White brought an acoustic trio format to the evening. This was how they started to play after all before exploring the new possibilities under the guise of jazz-fusion. As the trio stepped onto the stage under welcoming applause, the members first took a look around them to view the new acoustically sensitive hall and were genuinely impressed. Clarke quietly uttered "it's a cool place" while Corea even complimented the "good piano" before he removed the near-top portion above the keys.
The evening kicked off with the straight-ahead classic "On Green Dolphin Street" introduced by a a brief piano solo. The trio then eased into the gentle "Waltz For Debby" by Bill Evans. Clarke, an acoustic bassist at heart, was at the top of his game while White's contribution was subtle but solid throughout. In fact, we would assume that they had only been an acoustic trio based on the natural chemistry and good humor that they exuded.
Those nostalgic for the RTF period in its heyday were treated to a spirited rendition of the "No Mystery" with Corea shifting effortlessly from his percussive accentuation to lyrical interludes. The percussive play shifted to the melody with Clarke handling the bow briefly for added texture before the trio moved along an energetic buildup. White accentuated the brief slowdown with choice percussion strokes on the drum rim with Clarke laying down the groove with some strong slapping action.
Such a tour de force resulted in a well-deserved standing ovation. Striking gently piano strings manually and in a somber way, Corea shifted the tempo towards his original "Pledge for Peace" before playing a classical motif. The piece was punctuated by yet another shift punctuated by Clarke's deep groove that he could have easily replicated on electric bass. The acoustic master would then raise eyebrows on the next piece, a ballad of his called "La Cancion de Sophia," where he first used the bow for emotional texture and then quickly playing his bass with rapid guitar riffs before resting on some heavy blues.
The show ended with "After The Cosmic Rain" with the trio coming together under some Latin touches that have always inspired Corea. Audience members were encouraged to clap briefly before adding their own vocal replications to the pianist's lead, not quite as versatile as a Bobby McFerrin, to the choice for the encore, "Spain."
Enthusiasts can only hope that jazz will continue to have an important place in future concert lineups. The first jazz night at least was one to remember.

Larry O'Brien on DVCS (Distributed Version Control Systems)
SD Times columnist Larry O'Brien has a short piece on distributed version control systems. It's worth a read if you're curious about all the DVCS hype.
I'm sticking with Subversion for the near future; on Windows, last time I checked, Subversion still had the edge on installation ease and tool support (e.g. TortoiseSVN). Supposedly, merging has been improved in Subversion 1.5 and higher.
Still, I'd like to play around with two-level commits (local track when just playing around, development track for when changes are ready for prime time).

Version Control for Automation Developers
I highly recommend good version control software for all automation developers, even for companies with just one developer. Â I think for most automation companies the requirements are similar to these:
- Runs well on Windows (most automation vendors use only Windows)
- Easy to install
- Good documentation
- Easy to learn, including easy to learn concepts and how to handle typical version control situations
- Good tools support such as GUI clients, support for Visual Studio and/or Eclipse, web interfaces, and links to bug tracking systems
- Software is mature and reliable
- Available support
- Distributed team support is not needed
I recommend looking at Subversion first. Â It meets all the requirements. Â It runs well on Windows, is easy to install, has excellent documentation, and is widely used. Â Tool support is excellent; highlights include the famous TortoiseSvn GUI client and the Trac light weight project management and bug tracking software. Â Best of all, Subversion (like all the other projects mentioned in this post) is open source, so there are no license hassles, no limitations on named users, and no yearly maintenance fees.
Trac, on the other hand, isn't so easy to install. Â I've covered easier ways to install Subversion and Trac before . Â Another approach I am looking at is running Subversion and Trac under XAMPP, the portable Apache/MySQL stack. Â If it's easy to do, this might be the best approach.
Distributed version control systems are definitely taking off. Â Git seems to be in the lead, with Mercurial second. Â They do have some major advantages over Subversion (which I hope to cover in detail sometime this year). Â You should more concerned with which system works best for you, not what other developers (who probably have very different needs) are using.
Git normally isn't the best choice for automation developers. Â It doesn't run well on Windows (you have to use cygwin (which is like running Linux) or msysgit (which is incomplete and poorly documented)), is still lacking in tool support, and appears to be harder to learn than Mercurial or Subversion.
Git does have some advantages; for example, it can reliably track CVS or Subversion repositories, and make a Subversion repository track a git one.  I will be using git for a project that requires creating a Subversion repository that tracks a CVS repository (and having a git repository that tracks the CVS repository is a nice extra).
Fossil is an interesting new distributed version control system with integrated bug tracking and wiki (similar to combining Mercurial with Trac).  It doesn't have the tool support, documentation, and widespread use of git, Mercurial, or Subversion, but it is much smaller (a single small executable), runs well under Windows, and has a GUI available via the browser (Web 2.0!).
I'd love to try out and do a detailed comparison of Subversion, git, Mercurial, and Fossil, but my realistic plan is:
- Get Subversion and Trac running under XAMPP
- Get git running for the CVS repository tracking project
and then, of course, write some posts about my experiences.

Easier ways to install Subversion and Trac
I haven't had time to test most of these, but here are some ideas for installing Subversion and Trac:
- Read the manuals carefully and do a manual install. In my experience, Subversion isn't too hard, but getting Trac working can take some tinkering.
- The Subversion and TortoiseSVN manuals are excellent (if you're a Windows user, you may find the TortoiseSVN manual more useful, since the Subversion manual is all command line).
- I've found the Trac documentation a little harder (more spread-out, probably because it's all wiki pags), but for Windows the key is the TracOnWindows page. I've found it useful to browse the TitleIndex list – you can find some stuff you'd miss otherwise.
- Try installing Trac 0.11 beta – it's supposedly simpler to install (I haven't tried yet).
- Try the TOW (TracOnWindows) project installer. I haven't tried it yet; on the plus side, it's a single installer for Trac, Subversion, and dependencies, and it's been updated recently so the versions are current. OTOH, it appears to want to install everything in a fixed location (C:\TOW).
- You can try a VMWare Appliance (using the free VMWare Server) with Subversion and Trac already installed. I've looked at this; most appear to be somewhat out of date (e.g. Trac 0.9x), and for licensing reasons always use a open source OS (Linux, BSD) which might not be the best choice for everyone. Similar appliances might exist for the competition.
- You can use a hosting service with an installer (such as Webfaction) – that really does make installation easy, but upgrading can take a bit of work.
- It's worth considering installing to a virtual machine (whether on Linux, Windows, etc) so you can move the Trac server around, or just to experiment without installing lots of programs on the host OS.
Finally, it's always important to setup the server correctly, with the desired access rights and user log-ins.
Comments 4/23/2011: the TracOnWindows installer hasn't been updated in a long time.
I still really like the VM approach; VirtualBox is another option (with images available), but check the licensing terms (using VirtualBox as a server might require a commercial license).
VisualSvn Server makes installing Subversion on Windows a breeze. Trac can still be tricky.

devsn Subversion tool added
I've added the desvn.py tool to remove Subversion's .svn directories from a directory tree. It's written in Python (and requires Python to run); it only took about an hour to write and test.

Subversion Hints
Well, actually some Subversion/TortoiseSVN/Trac hints.
I find the TortoiseSVN repository brower clunky. In fact, I often find it quicker when checking out a repository to find the path first with the svn web interface, and then cut and paste the path into the TortoiseSVN SVN Checkout dialog.
For browsing source, I normally use Trac's Browse Source instead of the svn web interface. It has syntax highlighting for many programming languages and it's easy to see the differences between revisions. If I need a quick look at code that I haven't checked out (different project or older revision) on computer I'm using, I use Trac.
One neutral feature is that svn stores its information in hidden .svn directories. So, if you copy a svn working project from computer A to computer B, svn knows right away where the repository is, etc. If you delete the .svn directories, the project is effectively no longer under version control.
But, if you have a large directory tree, and need to get rid of the subversion information (to package up for an installer, etc), then all those .svn directories are a pain. I wrote a Python script to recurse through all the project subdirectories and remove them.
Comments 4/23/2011: the current TortoiseSvn repository browser seems much faster.

Open Source Version Control Comparision
JavaWorld has a hands-on overview of CVS, Subversion, Mercurial, and Bazaar here.
Note 4/21/2011:Â I'd say the most popular open source VCS's are:
- For centralized, Subversion
- For distributed (DVCS), git (most popular) and Mercurial.

Subversion and Other Version Control Choices
Version Control and Software Configuration Management Resources
In the end, good developers and good processes matter more than the tools. So here are two good sources for information and answers on version control and software configuration management: comp.software.config-mgmt newsgroup (low level of traffic, but I've seen some good conversations there) and CMCrossroads.
Commerical Version Control Software
A few years ago, I did an extensive look at commercial version control software. The two I was most impressed with were Perforce and AccuRev. Perforce is a traditional VCS, with a reputation for speed and good support. AccuRev has an innovative approach (streams) . Both are worth consideration, but are $750/developer or more, plus yearly maintenance fees. At work, I've been very happy with Subversion, but Larry O'Brian has seen some speed bumps.
I've been using Subversion, and have been very happy with it. I still think it is an excellent version control system for most automation companies, and I will be doing a series of blog posts using it. Some of its good points:
- It's free (and open source)
- Its centralized approach fits the model of most automation developers (unlike open source projects, which tend to be highly distributed).
- It runs well on Windows (unlike some open source version control systems)
- It has good, free documentation
- It is widely available for hosting (
for example, it's the only VCS available on Webfaction's Control Panel)
- It has excellent tool support, including on Windows
- It is constantly updated (V1.5 will have substantial improvements)
Innovative Version Control Systems
The open source version control field has been very fertile, with several innovative approaches. I'd say the open source side has been more innovative than the commercial side. The ones that have caught my attention are git (of Linux fame, and right now probably the "hot" one), darcs, mercurial, and bazaar-ng. All of these systems are designed for distributed development, unlike most version control which is based around a central server. Later I plan on looking into them in-depth, and trying one out – I have a few project ideas that would benefit from a more distributed approach.

Trac and Subversion sites are up
Webfaction dramatically improved their hosting plans, making it easy for me to add more applications.
So I've added a Subversion (svn) repository and a Trac site to this site. Right now they are pretty empty, but I will be adding to them over time.
The svn repository will host my blog project files, and will be used for posts on using version control. The Trac site contains additional information related to this blog. Both sites are read-only – I don't have time to deal with link spam, wiki spam, or polluted repositories.
The svn site is http://svn.factoryswblog.org
It will redirect a web browser from http, but not a client (such as my choice, TortoiseSVN ).
The trac site is http://trac.factoryswblog.org
It will redirect from http. Note that since I'm not paying extra for my own SSL certificate, you're going to have to trust me (accept the browser pop-ups) if you want to use the sites.
Note 4/20/2011: my svn and trac sites are http; https was a fun experiment, but not necessary for this site.
