A minor problem

11:08 pm on the 31st of July, 2006

Lordy is letting me work on his PHP project*, which is very nice of him as I break it a lot. I add bits of code here and there and try to make it look a little prettier, while he builds it all and makes it actually work and has ideas about what it should do and how it should do it. I’ve been working on the actual code that makes the site run (it is running, those of you who know the site know this already, those of you who have no idea what it is don’t need to for this story, but I have written about it in an earlier post) and making changes happen ‘live’ as it were, this is fine as long as I don’t break it. Anyway, Lordy has been working on the code that he has running on his machine, this is fine because if he breaks something then the real site still works.

And that is where the problem lies, you see now that lordy has completed a little bit he was working on he’s uploaded the new files. And now all the bits I’ve been doing recently have been overwritten. Bum. We need to find a better way of each separately working on the same files.
*Of which you may hear more in time

    CVS might just be the answer.

    It might be, I knew these things were out there but wasn’t sure what they were called.

    I for one am going to take a little care.

    And you don’t break it, and you make it a lot better. So I’ll not hear any more of it.

    A decent change control system would be useful though. I have one on my home computer, but that’s pointless.

    I’d like to apologise publicly (while hiding behind my internet moniker) for messing up your stuff too.
