Well, I finally got around to installing Subversion and setting up some source control for my personal projects. The company I work for uses SourceGear Vault, so it’s not like I’m a total newbie to source control concepts. But it took sitting down and digging in and figuring out how to install svn locally and work it into my daily routine for my own projects. Did that over the holiday break and now I’m ready to roll.
Back in December I set up a whole backup system that automatically does backups, some offsite via ftp, and some to another networked drive. HandyBackup is an awesome program for this purpose. I highly recommend it.
Feels good knowing I could boot my laptop out the window into the path of a speeding truck and not lose more than a day’s work!
