Mac OS X Developer Bulletin Board Meeting

I am right back from Cologne where the german Mac OS X Developer Bulletin Board (Mac OS X Entwicklerforum) Meeting 2007 took place yesterday/this morning. Developers from all over the country came together to get to know each other in person.
It was really nice and I enjoyed to talk to them in person about their projects and interests and I am really looking forward to the meeting next year.

IBM Certified Database Associate & Administrator

IBM Certified Database Administrator Today, a guy from IBM showed up at my university to offer DB2 certification exams. The long days of preparation and experimentations finally paid off. I passed both the Fundamentals (700) and Administrator (701) exams for the IBM DB2 Universal Database. It’s a pity, DB2 doesn’t run on Macintosh systems.

Merge Tracking in Subversion 1.5

Everyone who is working with Subversion using multiple branches knows this problem: Merging changes from branch A to branch B needs to be documented (in most cases in the log).
This can be risky as if one developer forgets to put that important information in the log, no one will ever see which change sets are now merged in branch B and following merges can cause lots of conflicts or loss of changes.
There is no automatic book keeping in Subversion - yet. In the upcoming release, Subversion 1.5 will provide merge tracking support.

I am really happy to see that great software gets even better!
