Some might know but many do not know that I’ve been the guy behind RedRival Internet Services. RedRival is closing its doors after twelve years of existence. We were on the market in the twentieth century. How many can say that? There has only ever been myself operating RedRival but I do owe many thanks to people who have helpd me over the years.

git – a love/hate relationship (with maybe a little more hate)
As per my previous post on git, we’ve been investigating and running trial repositories using git. So far, though, git has been frustrating me.
