Subversion
As I have stated before a lot of things have been changing at my place of work. We have recently stopped using Visual Source Safe and moved everything over to Subversion.
Google Maps and Distance Calculating
At the marketing agency I work for we have just recently finished a medium sized project which required the use of Postcode distance calculating. We looked at several solutions including PostCodeAnywhere, which I have used in the past for other projects, but our concern was the cost of the postcode data. Even obtaining the data directly from the Royal Mail was very expensive. Costs looked likely to be around £2,000 for a setup fee and then ongoing yearly costs of around £500. As the project wasn’t a guaranteed success for the client we wanted to keep the costs down for them.
