Creating Projects in Subversion: Trunk, Tags, Branches is a nice and easy to understand introduction for creating projects and repositories with Subversion.

The examples are for TortoiseSVN on Windows, but every step is listed as command-line version and the whole article gives good practise after all.
(In addition to the essential SVNBook).

While we’re there: If you aren’t (like me) a Subversion ubergeek, svnX is a neat OS X-tool with a graphical user interface for SVN.

Update: You can also watch a video introduction to Subversion which might make it easier to understand how exactly version control works.

Somehow I figured out a little bug in Apple’s Safari:

When pointing on text-links or linked elements, the cursor changes into the hand-symbol for just a millisecond before it quickly morphs back to the default pointing arrow.

This occurs with every link on any website when the browser has been running for a longer time and various websites with probably certain scripts were visited.

The effect is gone after restarting Safari, but it’s meant to come from somewhere. A quick research on the web didn’t gave me much, but I’d like to know where the source for this phenomenon lies.

Does anyone of you have had similar experience?

Now this video is some sort of very cool and definately produced by a huge Simpsons fan. Sligthly bizarre that they filmed it in the UK, though.

It occured during the last week, when I someday said to myself:

Man, my PowerBook used to run faster than this.

Then yesterday, while starting the computer I realised that the lovely Apple chimes was missing on bootup, even though the volume was set at approximately 60 percent before (it is often disturbing when you are booting your Mac in an office, conference or what not after you cranked up the volume the day before).

To make a point: I finally had a look at the “About this Mac” dialog and was confronted with only half of the amount of RAM than my PowerBook has built in: 512mB instead of 1GB.
