UPDATE: I’ve modified the scripts and prompt settings to be a bit more intelligent Today, a coworker sent me a link to an old blog post about adding git and svn branch information to your prompt.

A Comparison Table of 4 Android Phones
I’ve been an iPhone user for about 1.5 years now. I’m mostly happy with it, but I’d kinda like to write applications for it. The problem, though, is that the iPhone uses Objective-C (and I don’t consider writing web apps the same thing as writing an iPhone app ; ). Enter Google’s Android. I can [...]

As a “computer guy,” I get asked to help with all things computer-related. My church’s web site is no different. I was recently asked to help set up a new site. Since my time is limited and they need to get things going without waiting on me, I thought I would document my process for [...]

Before I go any further, go read Alexis’ article, paying particular attention to the “real #1 winner” link. Go ahead. I’ll wait…
The Means Stultify the End
From time to time, someone, trying to cut through all the hype and spin, will attempt some sort of statistical analysis to determine which web framework is “winning.” The results are almost always disappointing, and not because I don’t agree with the outcome, but because the methodology is so flawed.
