StatusNet Install Patch: Command Line Install
Opened a ticket on StatusNet: http://status.net/trac/ticket/2226

Updated Laconica Installer – Installing 0.7.3
Just finished testing the updated installer for laconica version 0.7.3 codenamed “You Are The Everything“.

Another Very Crazy Script – Maybe
I’ve been working on another script that I hoped would make the install of the requirements for video sharing sites a snap. After fighting with my account for about 8 hours I was finally able to get things working the way I wanted them. Mind you that this doesn’t mean I’m anywhere near finishing the [...]
An ugly fix for the no content when posting through email…
So after quite a bit of work I was able to finally track down the problem with emails to the WordPress system that did not have any content in the body. It turns out that the post.php file under the includes folder inserts an empty variable to post_content_filtered when running the insert query.
I did add [...]
DreamHost Custom PHP 5.2.5 Install Scripts
I’ve had a lot of people request my help in installing a custom copy of PHP using these scripts. For the most part I figured people would be able to get it installed but I might actually have to give some instructions out next time! Anyhow if you need help with getting this installed I [...]
