World of Goo

Just tried out the demo of World of Goo, a really fun and cheap puzzle game. And to make it all much more fun, its only $20 and is devoid of any form of DRM or copy-protection. Fun, fun!

Git rocks!

When I started using Git for my home hacking projects I mostly liked it because it was easy to set up a server via ssh without having to do a full Subversion setup and it was something I wanted to learn. I never really imagined that the distributed stuff would come in handy. Today, the remote machine I usually push/pull against was down, and I needed to sync a bunch of stuff down to my laptop. With Subversion I would have lost; ending up with manually copying files. With Git, it was as easy as

laptop$ git clone hacks hacks.git --bare
homepc$ git remote add mylaptop ssh://[user]@[host]/hacks.git
homepc$ git push mylaptop

Done. Happy, happy!
