This site provides great step-by-step instructions for sweeping the WordPress files out of the root and into a sub-directory. However, this may cause some vendor clients to choke when looking for the xmlrpc.php. This happened to me when trying to set up my “external blog” at bimactive.com
Assuming that the new folder you created [...]
iTerm
I made the switch and started using iTerm today. I felt limited somehow with Terminal, and iTerm delivers more features with the added bonus of having a comforting cocoa-app look and feel.
The main productivity boost in iTerm comes from using the Bookmarks window. Essentially, I can create a bookmark for each server I [...]
macosxhints.com - 10.4: Avoid dropped connections due to idle timeouts
A useful thread for me since I’ve been having this problem. According to some comments, it could be related to my ISP, DNS, or even my router. I’ll take my chances though and test out this solution.
UPDATE
It works, but I had to [...]
I’m using CocoaMySql as a GUI for doing some db work. It’s much faster than PhpMyAdmin in my opinion.
To connect to remote servers, I needed to set up an ssh tunnel to get around the firewall.
To do this, I opened up a terminal window and typed:
ssh -N username@mysql.server.com -L 8888:127.0.0.1:3306
where username and mysql.server.com are [...]
I’ve recently began playing around with Basecamp, testing its value as a project management tool. Though I haven’t done much with it yet, it looks like a pretty kick-ass application, and well worth the monthly fee if required for you project.
One caveat so far:
You can only assign administrative privileges to people [...]
I’ve completed a small side project for the band Taking Back Sunday. It’s an album cover generator.
Inspiration for the project came from the Church Sign Generator. As the name implies, this site lets you generate custom church signs (which tend to yield quite ironic but funny results). The author of this site [...]
I made some additions to the site over the last few days. The first one I’d like to mention is the Archives page.
This page uses the Extended Live Archives Plugin. It’s uses ajax to let the user browse through an entire archive of posts without needing to reload the page. Of course, [...]
Tonight I went through all my delicious bookmarks in an effort to normalize my tags.
I’ve been using del.icio.us for the last 5 months, and have since bookmarked many sites. I’ve been liberal with my tagging, perhaps too liberal, and ended up with a large tag cloud scattered with the noise of fragmented tags.
I had [...]
Last week I removed all music from my iPod so that I could re-build my library in an organic manner. I quickly adopted a suitable management scheme that harnesses the full power of iTunes.
The problem:
I have a 40gb iPod. I have over 60gb of music in my iTunes library. I’d like a [...]
