Checkout my latest publication in CM Journal. If you are a programmer and modify opensource code or fork internal projects, you’ll be happy to hear that tracking your changes is much easier with a Stream-based SCM model compared to a traditional Branch-based SCM model. If you’ve been using branch-based tools like CVS or Subversion, thinking in streams (eg. AccuRev) will require you to switch SCM paradigms but it’s a fun and refreshing approach to a old problem.

I just got back from two weeks of non-stop travel…. CA –> Seattle –> CA –> Boston –> Chicago –> Denver –> CA. The trips to Seattle and Boston were for work, but Chicago was for total play. On the first night in Chicago, I met up with a great group of friends at the Double Door to hear our friend’s band Dummy. On the second night, my groomsmen and I donned sport coats and ties for some scotch, cigars, and steaks at the Racquet Club. I spent two afternoons skating Oak Street Beach and a sunday afternoon swimming with family at my Sister’s home in Libertyville. Finally, the weekend was topped off drinking some beers with my Best Man on his roof top while listening to the sounds of the Southport neighborhood festival. It was a fun two weeks of travel but I’m glad to be back home in California with Amy.
