Converting SVA Subversion Projects to Git
If you've been using my Subversion Automation tool (SVA) to manage your Subversion repositories, and you're also thinking about moving to Git, I've got good news.
As long as you have git-svn installed, I have a script and some notes that make it very easy to convert your project from Subversion to a Git repository, with full history, experimental branches, and release tags included.

Behind the Code: Project Planning
In this new series of articles, Behind the Code, I'll be looking at the tools and processes that I've put into place to make me a more efficient and effective developer. I'm hoping to share my experiences, and while doing that, refine the way I work using your feedback.
Today, I'll be talking about project planning, the process of breaking a project into tasks, and estimating the effort to complete those tasks. The artifacts generated during this process can then be used to create a proposal for a client, cost estimations for your boss, or even the start of your project documentation.

The Secret Life of Devalot
Devalot lives, although you wouldn't know it from just reading this blog. During the last year and a half there have been some interesting improvements made to Devalot, but I made the mistake of not kicking out regular releases.
That all changed a few weeks ago when Isaac Foraker (a long-time friend) stepped up to the plate and assumed the role of Devalot maintainer. If you're excited about Devalot, this move should make you very happy.
