How about gophers or moles or whatever the little buggers are that are making an underground maze of my entire yard? How did you [not] get rid of them? Or have you? If you did, then give me your solutions. If you did not, then give me ideas for getting rid of them. Just whatever it takes to make them stop digging up the entire back yard -- or if your over the pond -- garden.
Please resolve this soon or the entire thing will just be a mud hole.

My BIL had that problem, and tried everything, including some not-so-nice-to-nature methods. He lost the grass twice, had glass shards rise up in the lawn during six months, burned himself with different stuff, and I could stop him in the end just before he threw a hand-grenade.
Then he gave up.
Three weeks later, the things were gone. True story. I think they were having fun at his attempts and stayed for the entertainment.

That's funny, but not. Because I've tried nothing and they've been here for 3 or 4 months now.
I shall skip directly to the Nuclear Option. Maybe I should rent a Boa Constrictor and just leave it at them for a while? Oh, I should definitely learn Python.

I had success with one of those solar powered sonic spikes you drive into the ground (see below for link). Sure, you really just push the blind hamster-wannabe rodent into the neighbors yard (Two birds...  ), but it worked for me.
Tip: To avoid it also driving your wife away, push it as far into the ground as you can so you barely hear the vibrations when you are standing next to it.

I had moles in the yard for a few years and nothing I did seemed to get rid of them, until...
One day I noticed a man using one of those portable road roller machines that you usually see them using when paving road to "roll the lawn" in the neighborhood. Being tried of bumping around the yard with the lawn mower, I stopped by and asked his price. Since it was reasonable I asked if he could roll my lawn after he was finished.
No more moles after that. The lawn rolling most likely collapsed all their little tunnels, along with the little trouble makers that lived in them. Getting rid of the moles was not the reason I had the lawn rolled, but it was a nice side benefit. I have the lawn rolled every few years due to frost heaves and haven't seen any evidence of moles since.
To get rid of the mole you may need a road roller instead of those little rollers that you can push or drag behind a riding mower. You'll need something heavy enough to collapse the tunnels.
Oh and mowing the lawn is no longer a bumpy experience

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

Github is a common place for it.
But I also like to have some offline copy. Like a CD, stick or external harddrive.

You got at least two options...
1. Seriously, for $10 a month you can host your own at Dreamhost[^] or just about most web hosts.
2. Or, to be even more simple, get a pro Dropbox account for $10 a month. Have your local repo sit anywhere you want and push it to the master repo which sits in your drop box folder. 1TB of space goes a long way, especially if you don't have that many images.
Otherwise, go open source, that's when things become free.

It's not a huge amount, maybe I'll look at dropbox, thanks Jeremy.

If you don't have any images and not too much code, the free account[^] is 2GB. That goes a long way with a compressed source repo.

I use bitbucket for about 30 small private repos and haven't had any problems.

I have a windows 2003 server at my computer repair shop that is on a static ip and domain.
I am running VisualSVN (free) server on it and VisualSVN (free) Visual Studio client.
I commit to that. and the server is backed up each night.
Works like a charm with NO RECURRING CLOUD CHARGE. Just the way I like it.

Except on the 3rd Thursday of every Quarter. Put it in your right pocket, then.
Either that, or put it on a CubeStat. Linky[^]

I've never tried it but could you not book a Linux VPS and install GIT[^] on it?
...it at least would be pretty obscure and hard to find unlike those public Git repositories which are basically social networks.
If you had decent bandwidth where you're at you could just install on your own box or run it in a Hyper-V VM...

Cloudforge[^] have been very good for me.
