Moving private repos to bitbucket

As much as like github for repos - I didn't feel it was *yet* worth to pay the monthly fee to get unlimited private repos. So I decided to move all my private repos to bitbucket, which is free! If you ever need to do the same, here's a link that explains it really well: http://befused.com/git/github-bitbucket-move

Just learned about rsync

I just learned about the rsync command which is amazingly useful. I have been using scp to copy folders from one machine at home to a machine in the lab back and forth and so far it's been good, and dead simple, but always involved extra work like making moving directories around. Now that I learned rsync, I can simply back up my work from the lab to my machine and vice versa using a simple command.

angular.js modules?

I've been playing around with Angular.js and one thing that I haven't really looked at yet are modules. My app currently has only one module. I was thinking that I should probably soon or later refactor it into more defined modules. Today, while searching for something else, I just found something surprising about modules: "Angular Modules are good for nothing...so far. Except for loading 3rd-party angular code into your app and mocking during testing. Other than that, there is no reason to use more than one module in your app. Misko said of multiple modules: "[you] should group by view since views will be lazy loaded in near future". I'd love for someone on the Angular team to enlighten us on what their plans are for that." https://coderwall.com/p/y0zkiw
