Is this really the Technical area?
I think I'll leave you guys to your playground. Bye... -

Is this really the Technical area?
Don't worry, it's nothing I can't handle. They're probably also good at shouting abuse from the safety of a car. Assuming they can drive that is. -

Is this really the Technical area?
Yep, I did post that on another thread. I was in the 'moderation phase' though and by the time it got posted everyone had moved on. I thought it was interesting enough to post it in isolation. Obviously you don't and that's fine. -

Is that not what the 'General' section is for? -

Is this really the Technical area?
I did start a technical thread about GIT, arguably a new concept in CM. I assumed that most IT Contractors would have an interest in this but it didn't really get much feedback, with the notable exception of a VectraMan. Anyway, if I had a question about HD TV or an iPhone I suspect I'd find a... -

Is this really the Technical area?
No, just testing the water. Looks like it's as I suspected. I'd been reading through a sample of the posts, right back to the early one's on this site, and I started to get the impression that the "Contractor UK" site has degenerated. Disappointing as I initially thought that I'd stumbled on a... -

Is this really the Technical area?
OK, I'm new to this site even though I'm not new to contracting. First impression is that the category idea seems to have gone out the window. There seems to be lots of what I would regard as "General" stuff in the "Technical" category. I'm not going to pick out any specific thread as I think... -

Anybody using GIT?
Source Control doesn't necessarily imply a tool to me. In practice, I tend not to use a tool such as SVN, or Perforce, until I have a real baseline, i.e. a deliverable that has some worth. Then it's under Change Control. All too often I've seen projects crippled by being under change control... -

Progression towards Project Management...
Group hug? :hug: I know this could be construed as taking the mick but I'm not. I could do with some useful input into http://forums.contractoruk.com/technical/28240-anybody-using-git.html if anyone's interested. It's a reasonably relevant subject I think.- Maca

Progression towards Project Management...
I agree that this has been a good thread because it had open and honest opinions and experiences being expressed. In this industry openness and honesty is rare but that is understandable. IT (and embedded - my thing) as a discipline is still under development. We all have found people that know...- Maca

Anybody using GIT?
Why would I want to do that? No, don't answer that please. Look, I can see where you're going with this and I really don't want to get into that discussion. It's missing the point. Did you watch the video? I assume you're saying that you don't agree with his views on CVS/SVN. If you want to... -

Anybody using GIT?
I can see the point in Source Control it's just the overhead of using a tool to achieve what can be done manually that I question. In my experience a manual approach also encourages communication. Anyway, I don't want to get into a discussion about there being no hope for me etc. Isn't merging... -

Anybody using GIT?
OK, I admit it, I've never really seen the benefit of CVS/SVN/Perforce/Clearcase etc. When working in a small team tools such as these never really did anything for us that we couldn't do ourselves. In a larger team they only really worked if you broke the project into small teams, at which... -

ISP change
Sky Broadband and Sky Talk make sense if you've got Sky TV. I pay £5 extra to get 4meg broadband and £5 extra to get free landline calls (not to mobiles but it's cheap) to anywhere. So about £33 a month for TV (family pack), broadband and telephone. You still have to pay BT line rental (about... -
