Recently, I had to convert one of my older projects from Mercurial to Git. It turns out there’s an app for that. It’s called fast-export and it works very well, preserving all of your history and migrating from Mercurial to Git very quickly. This article walks you through the relatively simple process, with a caveat for Mac OS X users.

You might want to have a local backup of your Flickr photo library for a variety of reasons. Maybe you lost your local copy due to a drive failure, or want to consolidate everything in one place as a backup. Or perhaps you just want to synchronize your uploaded pictures with an iPod or AppleTV automatically. At last, after much searching, I’ve found a solution that works perfectly, and is perfect for automation.
Many people are familiar with the advantages of using Git and GitHub to manage their projects and source code, but deploying an ExpressionEngine installation for deployment in this way can be a bit tricky. This article details the Capistrano recipe I’ve created specifically for automating the management and deployment of an ExpressionEngine website, with provisions for maintaining uploaded content across deployments, omitting unwanted content from the repository, setting the correct permissions, and more. The recipe also handles creating the server-side directories you’ll need to accomplish these tasks in a completely automated way.
Since going independent a couple of months ago, one of my big projects has been working with Geoffrey Grosenbach at PeepCode, getting up to speed, learning Final Cut Studio, and working on a secret new screencast, which has just gone live. Here’s the skinny.
These are instructions for compiling and installing Ruby, Rubygems, Ruby on Rails, and Mongrel on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). I walk you through getting your system ready for building and compiling open source software, and expand on the benefits of building your own open source utilities.
What follows is a set of instructions for compiling, building, and installing MySQL 5. These instructions should work perfectly on both Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard), and they may even work on other UNIX and Linux systems.
What follows are instructions for building and installing the following applications on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) along with their supportive software. I’ve been told that these steps work just fine on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) as well.
What follows are instructions for manually building and installing Ruby on Rails, LightTPD, MySQL, and their related, supportive applications on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
Today’s UNIX and UNIX-like systems (such as Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, etc.) allow you to create a special place in the filesystem where you can compile and install your own software independent of and without affecting the rest of the system. This article explains both how and why you should use this method.
