    These guys are brilliant!

    I was looking to move my “for fun” code repositories to Git and found them. Not only do they do git but Subversion, Mercurial, ticket tracking, wiki and some project management. For ~$9 dollars a month it’s great deal and a great tool.

    The support is awesome. I requested a feature, they implemented it and sent me a follow up email to let me know it was done. I was still just a trial user at the time. I am so impressed.

    Grocery shopping in a local store
    Cashier: Where are you from?
    Me: I grew up in England, but moved here a few weeks ago
    Pause
    Cashier: Did you drive?
    Me: (trying to give the benefit of the doubt) From 'home' ... today?
    Cashier: No, from England
    Me: ... it's a long way to drive...
