History meme
Submitted by mikkel on 2. May 2008 - 19:10.It has become all the rage for geek bloggers to post a list of the most used commands on their command lines, but since I found my own results interesting, I will post them here nevertheless.
First, our company development server at http://peytz.dk/Peytz & Co. where I spend a lot of time messing around with CVS… sigh
-(mih@dev0)-(84/pts/4)-(~/www/drupal5/sites/moviematch-dk.drupal5.dev.peytz.dk/)-

A Git mirror for Drupal CVS
Submitted by mikkel on 19. February 2008 - 14:01.For some weeks, I have on-and-off been trying to create my own mirror of cvs.drupal.org in Git, and now it seems I've finally succeeded.
I have set it up with Gitweb and everything, and it seems to have complete fidelity with regards to the original data. It has all the branches/heads and tags that Drupal has, meaning that you can use checkouts from this reppository to keep your Drupal installations up-to-date.
Here's the links:
Gitweb: http://git.lion47.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
Repository (git clone this): http://git.lion47.com/drupal.git/
A hidden gem for theme developers
Submitted by mikkel on 15. December 2007 - 17:46.I was doing some work on a site today, and I found me in a bit of a jam. I'd rather not spend a lot of time (as I have done so far) writing all kinds of code to get aroud Drupal's default styling.
I'd also rather not completely forego Drupal's CSS, because nice modules like admin menu depends on it. So what to do?
The political left
Submitted by mikkel on 16. November 2007 - 0:42.The political left is mainly composed of do-gooders that do not want to do good themselves.
Imagine someone wanting to do good for the homeless, and instead of doing the obvious and going out there with food/money/coffee/blankets/whatever, they decide to moan about it to the press, politicians, and just about anybody else who is willing to listen (or just happen the hapless victim).
The result is that the tax payers are burdened with doing good for almost anyone. It is a rare person in Denmark that does not receive his share of all the do-goodery.
