vale[ blog ] diary of the last hollow soul

Now work by Vale

I don't feel like working on my presentation, which is virtually done, or on my reports, which are most definitely not, instead launched SciTE and started working on the blog code—again. If someone would not happen to be following this blog long enough, this is something like a recurring joke: i've been rewriting the blog for roughly three years now, if not more, ever since i completed the current version. You can't really see into it, i guess and i hope, but i'm actually quite surprised that this crappy code works at all. For the time being, i'm putting up code snapshots for you to see, test and comment. Of course it's nowhere near functioning as of now, but it's in progress.
Calling my old code crappy (and not only crappy, but also incomplete, just for your information nothing works in the admin area except for managing posts—everything else is phpMyAdmin) reminds me of what Sartre said about humans: we don't let ourselves be defined, because as soon as that happens, the definition is already invalid. We move on. Just as when someone points out an until then unknown habit, we change. And we can break rules. Surpass ourselves.

Ever tried a version control system instead of snapshots? A lot better.
For starters, I recommend git. With git you can work locally, never publishing your data, but with all the advantages of a VCS. Of course there are also ways to publish your code, like github.com, where others may fork and improve your code. It also has a great book at http://progit.org

Maerlyn: thought about it, but it's not worth it. i don't really care about it, the snapshots are easy and don't need to hack though linux emulation layers just to run a vcs that will handle something i can achieve with zipped snapshots. though if you have a suggestion for something native on win, i'll try.

If you don't care what you changed, when and why, snapshots are fine :) I just prefer to have a way to easily find out why I created something and when.
The second best alternative is svn. You can host it for free on google code, and TortoiseSVN is a great client for windows.

Read a few things, and found a git port of TortoiseSVN: http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/
Should try it first, git is better than svn
