So, I've managed a few commits to the Github project already then. Not that I have a great deal to write home about, but it's actually nice and easy to get the hang of. And the nice folks there have produced a great little Windows app to help skin over the Git interface: takes a lot of the pain out of standard tasks, though I haven't really had the pleasure (?) of dealing with multiple branches and revisions yet, so I'll reserve judgement till then.
Still in very early days of implementation yet, but there's a very basic dicebag there now, with an API that is (hopefully) easy to follow. Should also be a simple case to check it out, build it as a maven artefact and then chuck it into a project. Honestly, there are loads more updates to come. Honest.

Getting to the party. Late as usual.
So, I'm going to starting experimenting over at GitHub - I've always used SVN / CVS previously, so I've resisted Git for a while: inertia is a hard thing to overcome!
Still, I like to think that I've a relatively open mind, so I gave Git a go, and I've been generally pleasantly surprised that it's not nearly as difficult to work with as I'd feared. Plus, there's GitHub.
So there's going to be a new repository going up there at some point, just so that I can noodle around with it for a while. For those who know me, it won't be a surprise that it's going to be a dice roller (some people write 'Hello World!'; I write dice rollers - don't ask me why, it's a habit.) I'd quite like this one to be a bit more generic and useful, though, so it's also planned to be a standalone jar file that can be included in damned near anything that might need a randomiser at some point.
For those interested, the repository is up at: https://github.com/nihilogist/dicebag
Currently there's very little up there, but hopefully the thing should be filled out sooner rather than later.
