After a few months of lazy thinking and couple of days playing with setup and theme the new version of andreys.info is finally out!

Please let me know if you spot any bugs.

Hope it will kick me to post things on more regular basis.

For those curious in Drupal setup details, there will be more information on how the new version is made in a day or so.

Sometimes you need to get rid of .svn hidden folders on your Mac. In my case it was about resyncing my local working copy with client subversion repository. Everything was broken at both ends.

A couple of terminal commands to get rid of unneeded svn tracks:

cd /some/of/your/folders/
rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn`

It will delete any .svn folders under your current.

For lazy typists: don't forget that you can drag and drop folder from finder to terminal to populate path.

It just came to my mind suddenly: Drupal vs Joomla = LEGO set vs Barbie set.

A tribute to my LEGO-ish set of (nostalgic) bricks: it was Deutsche Demokratische Republik made PEBE boxes. Not so...

I've decided to try MAMP on new Mac OS X 10.5. Mostly because PHP bundled with Leopard doesn't have GD library (otherwise it has quite cool set of modules). The other reason that is better Marc Liyanage's PHP installer is not yet ready for Leopard.

But after backing up all my MySQL databases (around 200Mb dump) it turned out that you can't acces MAMP's mysql via terminal to restore it (or I was something terribly missing from FAQs).

Here is a hint. You have...

Basic 5.1 update is running fine. But there are some things yet to be updated and extended. Some new features for theme are in works. Super nice image_exact.module is missing for Drupal 5.x unfortunately (actually the only big upset). Other modules are basically the same as it was for 4.7 for now. I'll write more as soon as I'll have extra modules updated / installed.

Comments are back.
