Keeping Up With My Ant Wiki

I recently overhauled my wiki - switching from Mediawiki back to Dokuwiki.  Lots of reasons for the switch but one of the big benefits is there is now a RSS feed for recent changes!

I’m regularly adding links that either I [...]

FriendFeed - Tying It All Together

Critter and I were talking last week during CFLunch about all the social apps.  I usually sign up for these to 1) make sure no one else steals my username, and 2) check out the interface, etc.

CoScripter - IBM(?)

The Savvy CMS - CFEclipse.org Makeover - Part II

When we last left our Savvy saga we were facing installation.  Again the great documentation made installation a breeze and sums up the steps required nicely:
Savvy CM installation is very easy. There are no installation programs to be run on the server, instead you copy your files to the web server, modify the includes.cfm file [...]

Hardy Heron Upgrade Complete! (Ubuntu)

Last night I decided on a whim to upgrade to the latest RC (release candidate) of Ubuntu called Hardy Heron (8.x).  It’s due to officially be released in a few days so I figured it should be fairly stable and I thought I’d beat the rush and upgrade now.   Usually I do these sort of [...]
