This came out 2 days after I agreed to do the talk (I didn't find it
until much later, but that's beside the point). I still have some tips
that he doesn't have.

One of my teachers, Earl Barr, mentioned that he keeps all his documents
in Subversion and he's been doing it since before the article on
onlamp.com came out, too. This might become popular.
