So I was really depressed this morning because for the first time in like years I programmed for like 20 hours and wasn't at a solution for my problem. I tried a lot of different approaches but none of them scaled how I wanted or ended up not having particular feature my system required that I didn't realized until too late. Anyways, today was the total oppposite. Everything went right and I got enough stuff done for a whole week. I attribute it to switching from eclipse to netbeans.
Then today I discovered that netbeans has this awesome collaboration software
built right in that lets you edit code together, chat, and share code snippets, etc with your coworkers over an XMPP openfire server.
So I got openfire setup and it even integrated with AD. Tomorrow should be the beginning of a whole new dev era, lol. Either that or it just means I will get more questions and not get any exercise, lol. It will definately make code review easier.
Here is a
to a video explaining it and here is a simple pic
I am so excited about the carshare. It makes so much sense. Everyone doesn't need a car. If you can get to work via train, bus, bike, or foot then carshare works for you. Instead of making monthly car payments and dealing with a nightmare parking situation, you drop $20 a month plus millage fees. If I lived in Allentown I would save $200 a month on car payments alone.
oh, plus you don't pay for gas, oil changes, any of that crap.
