Source Control Tools

Posted by John Minnihan - 14/07/05 at 06:07:58 pm

As someone who’s specialized in software artifact management over the past ten years, I’ve had the opportunity to use most of the mainstream source control tools. Some are better than others and a couple of them are truly pigs.

Backups

Posted by John Minnihan - 08/07/05 at 03:07:10 pm

Everyone has been bitten at least once over the years when a critical system crashes… and you have no backup. Since I run a production site used by thousands of people across the globe daily, being unprepared like that is simply not an option for me.

India

Posted by John Minnihan - 02/07/05 at 12:07:34 pm

I’ve finally moved the photos from my trip to India online. I was in Hyderabad in late March training engineers for one of the world’s largest software companies on how to use SolutionArchitect and the Solution Install runtime.

The airport photos are in Frankfurt – yes, that was my plane. I had a R/T Business Class ticket from Denver that costs $8000 – that’s not a typo. Though the flight was long, I was comfortable.

Those are photos of the Taj Krishna, a five star hotel in Hyderabad. It was pretty nice. Ask me about the band in the hotel lounge sometime…

Motorcycling Buena Vista

We loaded the trailer and drove to Buena Vista, Colorado for the Fourth of July 2003. There are miles of Forest Service trails in the area, and we did some four wheeling in addition to riding.

Skydiving

Posted by John Minnihan - 02/07/05 at 11:07:32 am

I went skydiving for my birthday in 2003. I’d wanted to do this for a long time, so this was as good a time as any other.

These photos are a bit embarassing – my arms and legs are in very goofy positions… but it was a blast! Stepping out of the plane was literally as scary a thing as I’ve ever done. Note the look of terror on my face – this was real. But that faded within about 2 seconds, and the rest of the way down was simply incredible. But I still looked goofy… oh well.
