Install wordpress from bash

From day to day i spend a lot of time installing basic things like wordpress, drupal, zend framework and so on. To make it easier for my self i created some scripts that’ll do exactly that for me. This one will install wordpress in your current directory from a selected source. Ill post the rest of my tools later as they need some tweaking.

Alternative to MacPorts, homebrew

If you’ve ever needed a 3th party app like `wget` or anything like it you should probably take a look at homebrew. Its fast and slick and bound to git. It has all the great features we know from `apt` or `macports`. What more could we ask for?

Some of the things ive used it for the last couple of days is installing and playing with [nginx](http://nginx.org/) which is an awesome tiny webserver that has a brilliant json like syntax for vhosts.

Blogging from textmate using markdown

One amazing thing about textmate, is that it does so many incredible things! In the last couple of months ive been using a lot of [markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/). Its such an easy syntax and great for blogging. Textmate has this bundle build in.

Another thing that is already build in is this great blogging tool that’ll let you blog directly from textmate. Simply select the blog bundle with the preferred syntax, in my case `Blog-Markdown`. When you’ve written your blogpost simply hit ctrl + cmd + p and it’ll post to Blogger, WordPress, Drupal or any other platform that supports the `MetaWeblog API`.

apc and wordpress

Strange, ive been having problems with my wordpress installation not wanting to load the dashboard. It now seems like this is because of APC. Ive tweaked my settings to make everything run smoother by setting apc.include_once_override=1 but this seems to break more than speed up things. By setting this back to 0 i was able to remove the problem
