Panning

I tried to shoot some panning pictures of my son, Aviv, riding his bicycle at the park. I used a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM lense on a Canon 350d body. +1/3 exposure compensation. Most of the pictures use a shutter speed at 1/60, aperture f/11, while the camera was hand-held.

Branching in Source Control

I read an interesting post about Branching in Source Control Systems in the Coding Horror blog.

It has a few good points:
* if you don't use branching in your code revision control system then you're not using this revision system's capabilities in full
* there are many branching themes: per release, per task, per feature, per technology, per component, etc.

Having experienced the benefits of branching per release and per task/feature I can testify that it does increase productivity and reduces risks.

The post also tells about bad branch uses. Unfortunately, I have experienced some of them too...
