About a month ago I tried all the commercial Mac Git clients (SourceTree, GitBox, Tower, Gitty) after being frustrated with my old copy of GitX. I just couldn't get into any of them. I was missing the tree views, so I can see where branches diverge, staging of hunks, and overall they were all too "weird" to use in their own way.

I ended up going back to GitX when I found there's a more recently updated fork maintained by German Laullon: http://gitx.laullon.com/ It has a few bugs, but I find it's much more usable than the commercial alternatives.

_why is no more 17 years ago

I feel compelled to dispatch an anonymous postcard to _why, just to say thanks. And to wish the best farewell. Maybe I'll find one with a furry animal on the front, like a lumberjack or something. Tomorrow.

You see, phoning seems rather creepy. And besides, I really don't have anything to ask him, or of him. He's taught us all so much already.

Yeah, a postcard seems best. Just a message in a bottle, a ping into the void. Naturally, the letter shall read in a language known well among those he has enlightened.

Thanks, old friend.
