git 2.3 released, with Push to Deploy - Gavin

https://github.com/blog/1957-git-2-3-has-been-released

A new version of git might not be that exciting, but 2.3 comes with Push to Deploy, where it will update a working copy after a push. Great for simple production server setups working via a checked-out git.

Helpful Sublime package for Ruby tests - Tom

https://github.com/maltize/sublime-text-2-ruby-tests

Mr Data Converter - Chris

Track of the Week - Neil

I choose 'High Tea' by 'Roller Trio'. It's dark. It's swirling. It's saxophone jazz-rock.
