Sylvain announces the Lepido project newsgroup is up and running. A CVS repository won't be far behind. Meanwhile, I'm working on a mod_perl site, a third-party bunch of code that needs to be integrated into one of our projects. I'm overwhelmed with feelings of nostalgia, as the names of these tools from yesteryear are bandied about.
mod_perl? CVS? newsgroups? At what point did they become has-beens? I look at them and think "Rails, SVN, mailing lists".
Ironically I'm actually looking forward to spending time in the brave new past embodied in these tools. I remember when newsgroups were incredibly high signal-to-noise, and the de facto method for group communication. Now my mail client looks much like what happened to news when the spammers arrived. I remember small but perfectly formed mod_perl webapps that were lightweight, elegant and blazingly fast. And faithful reliable CVS - ah. Hmm. Ok, maybe things weren't so good in the old days ;-)
Anyway, Mac folk wanting to join the NNTP party could do a lot worse than grab Unison, from those fine folks at Panic.
