Working with Mercurial for the first time (on a project that uses it). A bit irritating after all this Git, but I like it so far. 6:08 AM May 25th via web

@Ray_Garner I'm terribly envious of you living in Japan, so I guess we can call that even! :) 11:04 PM May 23rd via web in reply to Ray_Garner
@Ray_Garner I have one day per week right now, but there's an opportunity for 100%. 11:03 PM May 23rd via web in reply to Ray_Garner
