03 07 2008 : Quick and Dirty Vitalist to Rememberthemilk migration script.

Because I decided to try Remember the milk again for my Getting Things Done thingies, I had to import all my stuff from vitalist.com.
In order to do so, I hacked together a dirty Ruby script.

It may help someone who is trying to achieve the same.


01 05 2008 : Developing on Drupal CVS HEAD

Most people develop and maintain their contributions in the last branch, effectively ignoring HEAD.
I have done just that for the last two releases, but chose to take the normal HEAD approach back again.

The reason is simple: I don’t want my development snapshots to be used by people who are not developers. I hope I can bring down the amount of support and bug-reports and increase the amount of real patches this way.
Obviously patches that apply and count only for a certain branch will be applied there. But I will try to keep HEASD as up-to-date as possible.

Crossbrowser DOM inpector with Javascript

Probably everyone here know the Firebug plugin and the Web developer toobar for firefox and the one for Internet Explorer.
But for those running Mac, or Linux (using, e.g. wines ie4linux) the Internet explorer toolbar will not be usefull, if it works at all.


19 11 2007 : Dutch host moving to PHP5

Good news. My servermanager and Drupal host, just announced they are moving their infrastructure to PHP5. Entirely. PHP5 is really important if you want a future-proof hoster.

If you are looking for a Dutch host for your Drupal sites, I can advice you either one of the cheaper Vhosts, or, in case you decide to go for more Drupal sites, to mail for a reseller of colocation contract.

I have partnered up with them and give advice about Drupal hosting.
