Getting Introduced to GitHub

I'm just starting to get familiar with GitHub, the version control system for 'git' on the web. So far it's been a great learning experience for me, especially coming from some more enterprise solutions (IBM Rational ClearCase). If you are interested in checking out how git works, but don't want to download anything, you should check out Try Git by Code School. It's a great tutorial of the basic features and it completely sold me on the product.

I have setup my account at http://www.github.com/benhager if you want to check out some things that I am working on. There isn't much there right now, but I hope to be adding to it when I have some time.

Merging Google Calendars and feeling silly later

Man, I have been trying on and off to merge some old calendars that I have in Google Calendars and had no success. Now maybe that is because I would look at it for 30 seconds and get bored or just give up after one failed attempt. But a simple google search this evening showed me just how easy it was:http://www.mccambridge.org/blog/2008/03/howto-merge-google-calendars-together/

Sometimes once you figure out how do something, and see how easy it is, don't you just feel a little silly afterwards?

Oh well, hope this random rant was entertaining or (god forbid) useful.

Goodnight.
