upgraded to typo 5

Posted by Ian Holsman Mon, 28 Jan 2008 17:08:00 GMT

talk about painful, but we made it.

 

hints for the people who just svn up, and don’t follow the dev docs.. i’m sure there is a nicer conversion than this, but it worked for m

 

1. truncate the session table. for some reason it had about 900k rows in it, which was causing all sorts of issues.

2. truncate the sidebar table. there was some kind of change and it made the blog complain

3. rm the public/stylesheets/theme/*.css files.. for some reason it wasn’t updating the cache

 

i think it is working now..

I'm a fair person

Posted by Ian Holsman Thu, 17 Aug 2006 06:45:00 GMT

So.. After doing my screencast covering how easy it was to get a django site up and running on webfaction I thought it would be only fair to show people how easy it was to get a rails app (typo) up and running on webfaction as well

Thanks to Remi for letting me do this.

running mongrel now

Posted by Ian Holsman Mon, 22 May 2006 16:31:00 GMT

I’ve upgraded my blog to use mongrel instead of fastcgi.

pretty painless.. just needed to write a startup script to make it come up on reboot, and change the apache config to

proxypass / http://127.0.0.1:3000 proxypassrevese / http://127.0.0.1:3000

no messing ton’s of rewrite lines, or configuring stuff.

Test post using Flock

Posted by Ian Holsman Fri, 21 Oct 2005 16:23:00 GMT

I finally got a copy of the developers preview of <a href=’http://flock.com’>flock</a> and want to see how it works with typo.

so.. what is so ‘cool’ about flock.. no idea.. I just saw everyone else was talking about it, and I put my name down as well. (just call me a sheep).

now that I finally have it here are some of the key points I can figure out is so special about:


- integration with del.icio.us.. it is fully integrated with <a href=’http://del.icio.us’>del.icio.us</a> I can now ditch those silly boomarklets I’ve been using, and actually browse my tags. I’ll see if this changes my thinking.


- blog integration… I’m not sure if I will use this or just the regular typo interface.. although it seems a bit cleaner to me, as it is a regular app instead of a web page.


I’ll give it a try for a while.. and hopefully say something a bit more interesting about it later on when I get time to RTFM it.

Technorati Tags: typo, test, flock

Update: hmm.. it doesn’t integrate the tags properly and puts these silly technorati ones in there instead..(I added the nofollow in there myself)
