Fun with git

mkdir gittest
cd gittest

edit hello.txt

Hello, World!

exit

cat hello.txt

should be the same

git init
git add .
git commit -m "First commit!"
git branch update
git checkout update
cat hello.txt

should be the same
edit hello.txt

Hello, world!
Don't leave me!

save, exit

git add .
git commit -m "Update hello.txt 1"

Hmm. I don't like that. I've already committed!

git checkout HEAD~1 -- hello.txt

It's back!
edit hello.txt

Hello, world!
I love you!

save and exit

git commit -m "Love never dies"
git checkout master
cat hello.txt

It's gone?

git checkout update
cat hello.txt

It's back!

git log 

I need that entry n commits ago, but just for hello.txt

git checkout HEAD~n -- hello.txt

Converted my cell to Google Voice

First, this is a Sprint phone that has been used to convert the voicemail to Google Voice, not the same *exact* thing as port-your-number, so if your experience differs, that may be why. Now, my experience. Current impression: Why the heck didn't I do this before? No, really. My phone calls can come in through Google Chat. I can send and receive text messages through email, chat, or Google Voice and know about them. Since I'm mostly working from home, I basically don't need to use my cell phone as much, and even if it's dead, I'm still able to send or receive phone calls *from my number* with a headset on my laptop, desktop ... basically any where. It's really an interesting issue for me because there are so many different ways to communicate I don't even need a cell phone for that it does make me seriously consider whether the smart phone is necessary for me. So far, so good, and it probably won't be worth switching back.
