« Blockbuster, oh Blockbuster... don't do ... | Main | Poker Tells... »

I'm working on a .NET project w/ a friend, and I intitially thought FolderShare was the for sure way to go. So after setting up a new foldershare instance with my friend, I realized, (duh) that there are files we don't want to just blindly copy back and forth. There is no way in foldershare to exclude a file from a share. My friend Scott said "Dude, it's FOLDERSHARE, not FILESHARE" thanks Scott. But he suggested using Subversion. We use it at work, and I'm not opposed to using it, but I did not want to pay for hosting and did not really have a server (publically accessible) to set it up on.

Scott said there were some places that would host subversion repositories for free. So we found https://OpenSVN.csie.org/ It looks like a site I would probably design (read bad). So it must be good? :) We created our project, set it up to use only HTTPS and even created two user accounts that can access it.

Installed Tortoise SVN 1.4 and bam! Connected! So we now have version control, as well as a place we can work out of. Too freakin' cool.
