Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, mostly in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Hotmail Frontdoor team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for the User Interface of Hotmail as well as some of the Infrastructure and Architecture. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

I finally FINALLY got around to setting up my own source control server. I haven't been using one for all my little projects and it's been driving me crazy.
I thought it would be difficult. With dasBlog we use the excellent TortoiseSVN project to manage our Subversion source repository so I figured I'd see if I could use that.
I asked around on the dasBlog developers mailing list and a number of folks are using SVN with it's built in server and protocol support.
Problem is, setup was a bit complicated. But to make things easier some one has put together SVN 1-Click Setup. It is in fact a one click installer you run on your server.
IT ROCKS.
I set up DynDns on my kick ass D-Link DGL-4100 Broadband Gaming Router and added the correct port and now I can checkin and checkout from anywhere.
BTW, I installed it on my Vista Media Center since it runs pretty much 24/7.
Now I can sleep better at night, and another checkbox on the @Someday/Maybe list. Wohoo!
