I’m getting ready for my trip to Amsterdam.  I am flying out of Cyprus tomorrow morning and if all goes well, I should be back by Friday evening.  I won’t have too much time while there, as I will be attending some training sessions, but if you want to meet, catch up and have a beer in the evening, let me know via comments, Twitter, Facebook, email or SMS.

As always, expect plenty of Instagram photos, status updates, and Foursquare check-ins at weird places.

GitHub turns into an IDE

OK, maybe not an IDE just yet, but it’s not just a social network or a version control web interface anymore.  For a while now, you could create new files, and edit existing files.  Now, you can also move existing files around.

GitHub : move files

 

The implication of all these features together is that now you don’t really need to have a local working environment.  You can work on the projects using just the GitHub’s web interface.  Of course, it’s not the most convenient way in the world, and you’d be missing a lot of commonly used features, but still, if you are on the go, or if you have an urgent change to make when away from your usual working environment, GitHub has you covered.  Well done, guys! Keep it up.
