Kermit@CS

One of the most valuable tools a programmer has in his/her arsenal (besides caffeine that is) is source control.

CVS is traditionally one’s weapon of choice, and I’m sure most of the people reading this are very familiar with it’s ins and outs…

Well, theres a new kid in town by the name of Subversion that fixes many of the problems that old CVS had and adds some cool options.

If you aren’t using source control already or if you aren’t familiar with Subversion, theres a really neat article over at redhat.com - checkit out…

And while your at it, check out TRAC, a really cool addon to subversion…

Nachla’ot - it’s like living in a bloody village

I’m looking for a new place to live. I currently live in a really wonderful apartment in Nachla’ot which I love dearly (close to the university and the machneh yehuda market, great/weird neighbors, etc.), but I’m moving in with my gf so we need a bigger place…

Saw an add that caught my eye on one of the online boards this afternoon for an apartment really close by. Chatted with the guy on the phone and was over there in a matter of 3 minutes.

Here’s the kicker - the present tenant is a friend of a friend (and from here the village reference)…

Apart from that, it turns out that it’s the height of apartment hunting season at the moment. When I came in to see the apartment, there was already someone there (they add had only been put on the net this morning).

I took the landlords number shortly after and phoned him up, turns out the guy who was there before me closed with him 5 minutes beforehand…

Oh well… If anyone hears of a 2 room apartment in Nachla’ot that’s freeing up in the start of October for around $500 (preferably less), I’d really appreciate a heads-up… (oh, and one more thing, the loo has to be inside the house, and the roof has to not leak, thanks )
