ok so I have spend some time this weekend on my site.

I have upgraded to wordpress 2.1 which has some nice features. I like the “new” editor, it seems to handle the code/visual switch in a much simple way. Also some people may like the fact that this new version has a spell checker build in. I like the autosafe too, lets see how it works if I leave a post open at work and then go home

I have finally finish setting up the wiki and I have decided to go with moinmoin and that was before of two reasons, mediawiki is too complicated too install, and I have a control panel script to run (thanks Remi), although I upgraded it to the latest version. and because it has a GUI editor and some people just can’t stand wiki syntax.

So I have added some default categories so we can have some fun.

• NickNames, the usual expect the first transcript of there “LowLander” soon.
• WallOfShame, things that we(or someone else) has done, and we (or someone else) are too a shame of taking credit for them.

In all cases if you add to the end CategoryFoo where Foo is one of the above they will automagically show up in the list. and I suggest although it’s not needed that you add the pages as “child” of the category for example NickNames/Mae. if you think there is another category that will be nice to have please just say so.

PS: the URL for the wiki is left as an exercise to the reader.

So I was looking around in the collab.net site and found some things that SVN users may find usefull.

in no particular order

• bash completion
• Delete all files that are not versioned, although I recentryl found out that “svn revert” will doI think does the same
• grep without the cruft I find this one very nice, it is a grep that will filter all .svn files so your can actually find stuff on svn checkouts
• and of course emacs integration that seems like a svn-mode whatever that is supposed to do.
• and since for each use of emacs in a sentence I must say vi here is a vi’s syntax file there 2 to 1.

now about the repobrowser…

First don’t take me wrong I love svn CLI interface but sometimes you just want to browse the code see the changesets or just read the commit comments, in those cases I totally miss tortoiseSVN it’s windows explorer interface seem to me the best feature of the windows explorer.

So on linux I have found a couple of tools but none have given me the love of tortoise, currently I’m living with rapidSVN, while writting this post I found about some set of svn scripts for the gnome thru something call G-Script.
