Sometimes I have a discussion (like just now) and we are both seemingly in agreement.
But both side have to keep explaining their side because... the other guy don't seem to understand...
Does it ever happen to you?
It just happened to me and I wonder.. what is wrong with me? Is my foreign accent confusing people? oh well...

You are turning into a manager. The transformation is slow, but in the end you will not be able to listen at all and argue with a steady stream of buzzwords. Have you been bitten by one recently? Other signs are a strong allergic reaction to garlic, sunlight and holy water.

You must learn to understand the other sides goals. Often managers have other goals or orders and only are discussing to be polite and to "play" that you are respected.
In truth are some decision already taken but you arent yet informed.

A broken clock is right twice a day - we should never make the mistake of assuming that a correct decision is necessarily derived from correct reasoning.

Yep! Think I've been on the wrong side of a few of those discussions in my time.

coworker: you should increment the version number an publish to TFS.
me: what's the point? it will be the exact same code.
coworker: correct, you should increment the version number and publish to TFS.
me: but what's the point?
coworker: you should increment the version number and publish to TFS.
......
me: oh, I see, they need a new version number to publish with SCCM, right?
coworker: correct, you should increment the version number and publish to TFS.
me: why don't you just tell me I should do that because of SCCM?
coworker: you should increment the version number an publish to TFS.
me: alright, never mind, gotta make a new version and publish to SCCM.
coworker: ok, good.
I almost went mad. But managed to get over it!

Can anyone recommend a Canadian webhost (i.e. one having a physical data center in Canada) that offers CPanel[^] hosting? My requirements are moderate (10GB storage and 25GB/mo traffic) and I'm looking for a company that offers decent support and very good uptime. Am not looking for a "free" or budget hosting service.
Also, any feedback on FullHost[^] would be appreciated.
The reason for the move is that my webhost of 20 years is beginning to show its inability to support large numbers of customers. They're very reponsive (including calling me back in India when I was away for a month) and try to be helpful, but are clearly overwhelmed.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I've used TFS. While the Web UI mildly annoying, I know it and it works.
Git however is a whole different animal. To me it seems very confusing and difficult to work with.
What are you guys using? What's the standard these days?

Git
Despite its higher learning curve I finally took the plunge recently myself. I can live without distributed blah blah blah blah whatever, and I don't care about hype one bit. But, what sold me was it's so much easier to branch and merge in git. Especially compared to SVN. TFS is pretty good about it, but still git shines there.

I really only care about Source Control. Do you have any "getting started" resources?

Well, my intro resource was being a n00b to it and asking coworkers a ton of questions. So, I can't really recommend a good online resource. That being said, keep it simple to start with and work on a project with it.
This link will get you going: git - the simple guide[^].
Also, if you're a PowerShell buff, installing A PowerShell environment for Git[^] will give you some fancy visual cues when you're in a project.

Are there any Agile tools that work (well) with Git?

I'm still new-ish to git myself, but there's always Jira[^] which will do that. It's like $10 if you host it yourself.
As long the concepts are down I'd imagine you could find a way to adopt most tools to the workflow though.
Anyway, here is the basic concept of agile within git: How Git fits into an agile workflow[^]. Since git makes branching much easier, you'll see people use them a lot more.
