You should team up with someone & market it. If so, put me down as a customer. I love this! You should team up with someone & market it. If so, put me down as a customer.

I have been trying to get my NB9W and iinet voip connection stable for 2 years, and I think this will be a step forward. For a start, it now will work with the iinet recommended domain settings. Any ideas why my Panasonic DECT phone answering system fails to record a message? I have tried it on a std phone line and it works perfectly. With the above setup, it appears to record a message then loses it. Keep up the good work Mark! Fascinating!

A 2nd for the commenter who suggested Evernote, it's fantastic, ditto for Growl (I always forget it's not part of the OS). I also use Adium for my messengering needs. I had Time Machine working to a disk file for a while but it was really flakey so I just bought an external USB drive for $100 and use that. Nice list, thanks.

We choose more difficult because we feel we have more control. We pay more so we can run free software. We end up buying more software to make it work than we should need to. And in the end we all secretly run Windows on a spare PC or a virtual machine because there's always that one thing you can't do with a mac. And in spite of all this we still love them. Maybe just because they're shiny. ;) We’re a bunch of tools. We choose more difficult because we feel we have more control. We pay more so we can run free software.

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:21:11 +0000 http://beingmarkcohen.com/?p=450#comment-829 Mark, That's cool. We use subversion at work as well simply because git was not available when we made our transition from CVS :) But for personal projects like OzBargain I much prefer to use git. A lot of time when I am working on something, I can just say "hmm I think I want to create a repository for it", run `git init` and it's done! Mark,

Deals is a LAMP stack, through and through. We use subversion at work, and I'm a long-time fan of subversion. I like it because my hosting provider gives me free subversion which I use to back up php, rails, and .net stuff. I haven't really spent much time looking at git but @<a href="http://twitter.com/GarryDanger" rel="nofollow">garrydanger</a> agrees with you :) Hi Scott.
