StatusNet Install Patch: Command Line Install
Opened a ticket on StatusNet: http://status.net/trac/ticket/2226
There was a recent need to automate the installation of StatusNet, so I went ahead and modified the install.php to allow for a command line interface to the install process, including a version which can be used to run the install from a script. I’m not a fan of [...]
Installing Magento Commerce on DreamHost
*One quick update*
Thanks to Ashley for mentioning that I didn’t add the prefix option as an argument. Added it to the script and updated the content below to show how to use it.

There has apparently been quite a few people having trouble with the Magento install on DreamHost. I was among them, so I took [...]
NextGEN Gallery – Feature Addition – Import Zip From URL
So I work with the NextGEN Gallery plugin pretty often for various websites and one of the things we constantly find ourselves doing is downloading zip files of content, then uploading them to the system in order to import them. From time to time I would run into a max upload size problem which meant [...]

After a few, “what’s with the thumbnails?” I decided to write a script that executed [...]
Updating the Laconica Installer Again…

I need some crack…
It’s been awhile since I’ve done some SERIOUS programming. Most of what I’m working on (like the laconica web based installer, the modified zenPhoto installation, various modifications to e-commerce sites) is actually the type of thing I would work on and create when I was younger. I guess most things don’t change. Anyhow, I’m starting [...]
Laconica Web-Based Installer
UPDATE:
I couldn’t sleep again, so I finally got around to getting a very very very badly done but working version of the web based installer finished. Grab a copy of the file below – throw it up wherever you want to install laconica and fill in the info. This should get the majority of people [...]
