13. November, 2003 - CVSing my life

CVS homedir is a description of how one guy keeps his life in CVS. I wish the command-line CVS on Mac OS X was smarter about not only permissions, but also files with resource forks so I could do this, but I’m thinking it’s going to take either the time to add that functionality to the tools or perhaps switch to a UFS filesystem (where resource-fork handling either works or doesn’t, and it’s more obvious when you’ll have problems).

As I ponder all the work I’m going to have to do between now and the end of the year to pack up everything in my current apartment and move it to the house I’m buying, I find myself wishing I could just cvs commit my life here and cvs update at the new place. The Purchase Agreement got signed yesterday, so the next step is to get a couple inspections done. I think once the inspections come back okay, I’ll get a lot more excited about the move.

The Ig® Nobel Prize site is well worth perusing. For example, I didn’t realize it was possible to rent the entire nation of Liechtenstein for weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc. [jim]
