As a software developer, I have to use a version control system to keep my source code safe.  Subversion is my repository of choice, but I’ve had pretty bad luck with hard drive failures, having had two die already.  There’s been no data loss, but it is still pretty annoying.

That’s why I signed up for a trial of Assembla.  So far it’s pretty useful because they offer Subversion hosting with an integrated Trac project management system.  I’ve wanted to try Trac for a while, and I like it quite a bit now that I’ve gotten into it.  It’s simple but very useful, and most importantly it helps prioritize and manage tasks, bugs, and enhancements without getting in the way.

I’m sure I’ll stick with Assembla.  The price is good and the service is great, and it’s already increased my productivity as a developer.
