Fog Creek Nailed Enterprise Mercurial Needs With Kiln

Tags: , , , , ,

Today, purely out of boredom, I created a trial Kiln account. Fog Creek is well known for pampering programmers, I wanted to see how they built an offering out of Mercurial.

Getting Into Android – Finally

Tags: , , , ,

I stumbled across some news that made my mostly overcast/cloudy afternoon an absolute delight. Tim Bray has joined Google as the resident android pundit.
