A sample text widget

Etiam pulvinar consectetur dolor sed malesuada. Ut convallis euismod dolor nec pretium. Nunc ut tristique massa.

Nam sodales mi vitae dolor ullamcorper et vulputate enim accumsan. Morbi orci magna, tincidunt vitae molestie nec, molestie at mi. Nulla nulla lorem, suscipit in posuere in, interdum non magna.

Gym Color Temperature

Processing pix from the Sarah McCullagh Memorial Scholarship. Took Nikon NEF (Raw) format to avoid problems with color balance, which is horrible in the gym.

From here, “Mercury vapor color temp is around 4200K and CRI in range of 50.”

Looks much better now.


Git Alias – ignore all whitespace

A talk at last year’s Chicago Code Camp spoke about Git aliases. Up until now I used shell aliases in the (wonderful) MINGW32 Git Bash shell, so “$ gs” is $ git status.

$ git diff is something I use a lot, but sometimes you want to ignore whitespace, say when you reformat an [...]


The Genius Continues : Instructable : Replacing the shock absorber in a Felco 7 Pruner

See my Instructable if you are rebuilding a Felco 7 Pruner…


Centos Fun with a locked Boot. Thanks, Hudson 2.1.1.

Say the Hudson script locks up during boot, for example, after you upgrade to 2.1.1 and it does not work and someone said removing the –daemon argument makes it work and something else fails so you roll back the hudson.war and restart and it now locks up on boot. No SSH – sshd is the [...]


Upgrading Atahualpa

Did you know that if you upgrade the Atahualpa theme from the Update page in the WordPress Admin, it deletes all the custom header images in your website?

Me neither.


Pruning Tomatoes

For a long time if have suspected pruning tomatoes would be beneficial, but, after examining the rat’s nest of green on my plants, it just looks too hard.

This year, I have an Earthbox with two cherry tomatoes, heirloom Black Cherry and Tomato Berry, from W&M Land Corp from the Woodstock Farmer’s Market. Note the [...]


Upgrading WordPress in Bulk

Of course there is the old faithful Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion and Upgrading_WordPress_Extended, but there is a lot of fluff there. Old blogs are “You are using WordPress 2.9.1″. Show me the command lines.

Certainly.

“Backup your database. Read Backing Up Your Database for a detailed explanation.” Use Plugin WP-DB-Backup from http://austinmatzko.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-db-backup/ Download it – make sure the copy is here. [...]


Final ledger entries

For three days now I have been trying to figure out how to account for payments to the Clinic via PayPal. The money goes into my personal PayPal account, and credits against money owed me for expenses, but I just don’t want to post the delta, I want to track what happened so the cash [...]


Why Unix Rocks – cat

I got an email from a friend where the Word doc attachment was broken into 19 pieces and Base64 encoded. I started to open each file and copy out the payload, then got bored and considered a Perl script.

What’s the simplest thing?

First have a batch file: copy p1 + p2 temp1 copy p3+temp1 [...]


WP 3.0.1 and Atahualpa

So I upgrade to WP 3.0.1 using Atahualpa and cannot edit pages. Page, edit, left menu but no text, no nothing. Bad. Have to hold off upgrading all the other blogs. Upgrade Atahualpa to 3.5.3. No good.

After weeks of search, found this post which sez PHP4 does not cut it.

What does 1&1 supply [...]
