I hate subversion right now. For reasons outside my control I have to keep development branches open for a long time and therefore I need to sync them regularly with trunk and these merge operations are quite annoying and source of headaches. Additionally, in the recent months I found myself

Interesting article on Boing Boing about Google image labeler and how to entice the mass into a dull job by the means of a game challenge... It's a clever way to do retrospective tagging. Organizations with large archives of data are likely to do more of this in order to
