I always wondered at what age do people start doing things around the house on the weekends, clean windows, get concerned about weeds in the yard, and start remodeling projects. For me: age 31. The last few weeks A and I have been busy around the house getting our yard in order, I have been […]
Ever since I got the Wii, I have been watching to see what old games would be released for the Virtual Console and I finally decided to check out to see if Nintendo had a feed for all new game releases. Sure enough, they have a RSS feed and it lists all new game releases. […]
Ever delete something with svn (svn del) and then realize you needed it again? You can get it back by using: svn copy -r HEAD filenameyoudeleted.extension filenameyoudeleted.extension svn copy is the command to get a working copy back -r is short for revision.

I use Vonage for my home phone, and used to use it as my business phone but decided to go with a ATT with my business line since I thought I wanted to keep a traditional phone line in the house. After my last ATT bill, their hideous ATT business web site (where you are […]

Because I always forget…to change the text editor that svn uses with the commit messages, just type in this command (if you use bash): export SVN_EDITOR=vi *Substitute vi for your editor of choice. **Personally, I once was a pico/nano fan, then I moved to emacs, and now I am a vi person.
I recently switched from using a gallery WordPress plugin called fGallery to something that is more elegant and updated: NextGen Gallery During this transition, I found a really cool lightbox-ish plugin called Lightview Plus which is more polished than your typical lightbox plugin. Example: You do not have to add in extra code to get […]
Finally – I made it to a Best Buy that had a Wii over the weekend! I saw the flier in the Sunday paper that Best Buy had some in stock so I jumped in the car with Amy and E and we got there to get a “ticket” which guaranteed a Wii. So far […]
Something that confuses a lot of people when they start using subversion is the file status. (svn st) Here is a quick list of the file status codes and what they mean: A File was added C Conflicting changes D File was deleted G File was merged R File was replaced U File was updated […]
I subscribe to the WordPress Development Updates Feed and this morning I got a nice morning surprise: “Post revisioning is in trunk”. This means you will be soon able to create a post, publish it, make a revision, and then keep the old version as well as the new version so you could compare them […]
