I use TortoiseSVN to connect to a remote repository hosted at Assembla.com. I’ve had a few problems with Tortoise but I think that has been due to my hard drive and not their code.
Having a remote repository means I get off-site backup as an added extra.

What clients do you guys recommend?

I’ve been trying to use Subcommander for SVN but it drives me nuts sometimes.

I can’t work without source control now, I feel so vulnerable. :)
If more non-programmers knew about it I think it would be much more widely used. I wonder if you could write a Word extension … hmmm… must look into that.
Glad you like the blog so far, please keep posting comments and telling us what you’d like to see more of (or less of!)

I’ve also found version control useful for things other than code that you need to keep old versions of and track changes in. I used a subversion repository when I was writing my thesis and paranoid about losing versions.

(p4s is a great idea for a blog – thanks guys!)
