For RSS I just use plain old Thunderbird, I haven't looked at the web-based alternatives, and of the desktop applications... neither one of RSSOwl or Liferea or some CLI-based one made me any happy. And Thunderbird... is perhaps not an optimal solution, but it gets the job done. Hope you found something worthwhile at mah blag so you are inclined to come back ;D Nah, no flamewars, unless it is with hesa ;)

I'm using Google's reader, but lately I'm not convinced that it is the best one for usability. Especially in terms of getting a good overview of the posts. /archie I do prefer Emacs over vim, but let’s not start a flamewar over that. :)

Such things are cool ^^ About housing the repository on a flash drive, are you using SVN for that, and if so how does that work, as I was under the impression that the SVN needs to run a service or something to be able to do its magic? Thank you, I'm glad you liked the post :) I wish you good luck as well. Well it evens out as I thank you for sharing your insights in your blog ^^

I completely agree with you that for group projects having a central way of tracking changes and bugs is vital, whether that is a page on a wiki or something more sophisticated. On my last group project, we also used Trac. On that project, we set up a central Subversion repository but for personal projects, I tend to set up the repository on a flash drive so I can always access it, even without internet. The list you've given here is really expansive, and I really appreciate the depth you've gone into for each suggestion. Thanks again for this post, and good luck.
