Part of the problem is that ‘git’ is such a flexible tool that you can use it in various modes, and mix things up freely. The whole distributed nature means that there’s no gatekeeper, you can do whatever you want. And the flexibility and power is good, but it does mean that it’s also easy to make a mess of it – the old UNIX philosophy of giving people rope, and letting them hang themselves with it if they want to.

The Sims 3: Collector's Edition
The Sims 3 for the Mac (and I guess Windows too, but who uses that?) and the iPod Touch (and I guess the iPhone too, but who uses that?) was released yesterday.
Found this lovely video called “Cup of Brown Joy” and liked it so much that I had to buy the album. The artist is Elemental and Tom Caruana.
