git

After spending 2 nights trying to fix my git repository that I broke following instructions on line about removing files from repo history, I'm back to a state where my repo is sane and no longer contains those files I was concerned about. In the course of doing this I had decided to migrate to mercurial, but damn,
rebase --interactive
is very nifty. It allowed me to pretend that the offending commits never even happened! I am still going to switch to mercurial; now that my repo is cleaned up, I should be able to be schizophrenic and switch between which ever VCS I choose

Dumpcatcher

I took the day off in order to spend it writing some code. My goal for today is to finish with a fully-functional exception catcher for my projects so that I don't have to require users to send me tracebacks or exceptions when they occur.

I started by registering http://dumpcatcher.appspot.com. I will be pushing frequently to this site as I add features. I chose App Engine because I like that its hassle-free application deployment. Launch the app, run it, walk away and it should just work!

Second, I registered http://dumpcatcher.googlecode.com. I will be pushing the code here pretty much just as frequently as I push the site. I chose Mercurial as the SCM because I am sick and tired of git.

So... Let me begin...

Addendum: I actually ended up going into work instead of taking the day off and coded this on a flight to Cambodia.
