Technology In The Gap

So, this is the second time that I’ve had to rebuild my gTablet.  Fortunately, I have a backup from back when it was stock before I installed TnT 4.4, so I’m always able to go back there, but what’s my problem with not doing more frequent backups?

I mean, seriously!

I write software, and it’s happened before.  Grr…

What happens when you have a branch that you’re working in that has stuff in it that really doesn’t belong with the name.  I mean, naming is one of things that can be the most tricky.

Is renaming a branch hard?  Nope.

1. Fire up the repo-browser.
2. Right click on the branch you want to rename.
3. Specify the name you want it to have.
4. Specify a note for why you changed.

Bingo!

Speaking of my gTablet, the best thing you can do for it is to “root” it.  The hardest part of this isn’t the actual process—it’s making sure you find something that’s up to date.

You see, when the gTablet first came out there was a lot of trouble with performance—and many people returned theirs.  So there are a lot of posts out there talking about it, how much is stinks, and even some of the instructions on how to make it better are out of date.

Woot had a deal on a ViewSonic gTablet, so at ~ $280 I couldn’t pass it up.  For some time I’ve wanted to try out tablet technology, and I’m definitely liking how intuitive it is to do some things.

That being said, there are hiccups, and I did root the thing.
