I have been really happy with the new FireFox. I have however noticed some small rendering differences between FF2 and FF3. That means more testing. At first it was a pain to have to test for both of these browsers and then I ran into MultiFireFox. It lets me run FF2 and FF3 side by side so I can quickly and easily preview a website in each. Wonderful! This version looks to be only for the Mac, but for you PC users you could check this out.

For a long while I was not happy with the way I have to use SVN at work. For those new to SVN it stands for Subversion. Wikipedia gives this for its definition.

“Subversion (SVN) is a version control system initiated in 2000 by CollabNet Inc. It is used to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly-compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS).”

We use it all the time at CodeGreene to commit and grab updates of a project. This way we can all work on a project at the same time and not step on each others toes, most of the time. Most of the guys at work just use the command line to send their recent work and to update their computers with the latest version of a project. The command line scares me though so I have been using something called svnX which just lets me have an interface for when using SVN. It has not been very friendly and often hard to use. A co-worker then ran into Versions! I love this little app! It is still in beta and I don’t know if they will charge for it when it gets out of beta, but if you use SVN and are on a Mac give Versions a try. It has all the features I need with SVN and it is very easy to use.
