Now that Ludum Dare is in judging phases, here are a few tools I found extremely useful…when I least expected it:<\/p>\n

Fossil, and its Ticket Tracker<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fossil<\/a> in a version control much like Subversion.  In fact, it’s commands are nearly identical to SVN, yet has the advantage of a Distributed Revision Control<\/a> (e.g. offline commit support).  But every programmer knows Version Controls are important!  No, I’m going to talk about a feature that I honestly didn’t expect any use out of: its built-in ticket support.<\/p>\n

\"FossilTickets\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ignoring the ugly HTML v1.0 visuals, this thing is just…clumsy.  Nonetheless, I found myself using this over Google Task.  Why?  Well, it loads fast, and I can indicate if I did or didn’t feel like fixing things.<\/p>\n

Garage Band…on the iPhone<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is iPhone’s piano. It’s very tiny.<\/p>\n

\"keyboard\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is iPhone, with orchestral strings, on auto-play.<\/p>\n

\"strings\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Life became so much easier, since.<\/p>","time":"April 28th, 2013 11:30 pm","title":"Unexpectedly useful things"}
