It's worse than we thought
June 15, 2006 ( Open Source | geek | grad | life )
So, I've been using CVS for this summer class to keep all my reading, presentation slides from the prof, articles for my paper, and writings themselves, in sync across my home laptop, my travelling Linux laptop, and my thumbdrive (and my work computer at times, and a private directory on my website).
Though it comes with some annoyances when handling big annoying docs in directory structures and not plain text files, it's made my life a lot simpler (no more counting files in a directory, sorting by most-recently-modified, etc.)
So yeah, I'm working on my paper at the GTown building (the roof has a great view of the potomac, electrical outlets and open wireless!), and I just raised my arms and shouted towards the Potomac "I LOVE CVS!"
I especially love the automatic version numbers. I am on rev 1.2 of my paper. It gives me a sense of accomplishment.
I think this qualifies me for dorkiness, beyond geekiness.
