Bealers.com v10

20. April 2008

Today I put together the 10th iteration of Bealers.com which is a massive relief as it’s been on my to do list for 6 months+. Initially as I was going to use external help (and I had some great offers of assistance, thanks all) but in the end I simply used a pre-built theme. The Fresh [...]

When we downshifted in July 2006 - actually it turns out that it was Cathie that really downshifted, I simply started again from scratch albeit with a much healthier balance between my business and home life and with considerably less stress - one part of our due diligence was to sit down and write up [...]

I’ve been getting these since the recent 2.5 upgrade. I had other issues that I managed to fix by massaging the data structure so I’ll need to fix this too. I assume it’s because my WP install is around 4 years old and one of the upgrade scripts missed off a few schema changes. Anyway, apologies [...]

On Sunday Kurt and I went to see Jean Michel Jarre at The Albert Hall. He was for the first time ever playing Oxygene - his first album released in 1976 - live in its entirety. We had top-dollar seats that gave us a very good view of the antiques that he was going to be [...]

The Multipack describes itself as “a community of multi-talented Web professionals from across the West Midlands” and attending one of their meetings has been high on my list for over a year now. This Saturday I finally made the effort to get to Birmingham for the March meeting and it was definitely worth it. I got [...]

Are you a designer? Do you fancy making this blog look less rubbish? If so please get in touch. Siftware is already in the process of getting re-done so I figured my personal site should get updated at the same time. Ideally we’ll do a trade on services, e.g. I’ll provide some dev time to you, but [...]

My requirements are: Not having to mess with the Apache configuration every time I add a new project because I don’t want to have to restart apache Make some simple modifications to the stanadard trac.ini so that, for [...]

Vim auto indenting

2. January 2008

0 Comments

I used to get annoyed when pasting text into a Vim window as each line would indent one more tab than the last line. To fix it I used to add set noautoindent in /etc/vimrc, however this unsurprisingly turns off auto indenting, which is a useful feature for normal typing. Today I came up with a [...]

Subversion over ssh

2. January 2008

0 Comments

My background task over the Christmas holidays was to ensure that I had the ability to give read/write access to a subversion repository situated on a machine within our corporate network so that staff or external contractors can access it via the interweb but without me needing to open up additional ports on our firewall. The [...]
