    They think, ‘I’m going to cook a great breakfast, wash up the dishes before I leave, take the kids to school, call my college roommate on my way to work, be a CEO all day, volunteer on the way home, do a little exercising, cook a wonderful dinner, help with homework, have sex’… I don’t think so.

    git

    I am doing the free git course: http://rubylearning.com/blog/2009/02/10/git-and-github-a-free-course/

    and pfew… I finally got git working again…
    had to upgrade to git 1.6 on os x tiger, which involved upgrading to gcc 4.0 — which requires the install cd… wtf!!!

    i was getting some “strange” error… literally git said a strange error had occurred.

    i followed these instructions for installing git after that… http://larrytheliquid.com/2007/12/29/compiling-git-and-git-svn-on-osx-tiger/
