Why you should never, ever use a question mark on Twitter or LinkedIn (infographic) | VentureBeat

Tue, 10/09/2012 - 07:40 -- rprice

if you’re talking to consumers, Monday and Wednesday are best on Twitter, and LinkedIn is better on Monday. But if your company is marketing to other businesses, post to LinkedIn on Sunday, and to Twitter on Wednesday. And while hashtags are great for consumer-focused posts, they really don’t work at all for B2B marketers.

git: revert (reset) a single file

Wed, 08/15/2012 - 11:48 -- rprice

If you have an uncommitted change (its only in your working copy) that you wish to revert (in SVN terms) to the copy in your latest commit, do the following:

git checkout filename

This will checkout the file from HEAD, overwriting your change.

The rest of the Internet will tell you to use git reset --hard, but this resets all uncommitted changes you’ve made in your working copy. Type this with care.

iCloud Mail settings in Snow Leopard

Wed, 08/15/2012 - 08:11 -- rprice

You cannot open a new iCloud account on a pre-Lion Mac. If you are setting up an existing iCloud account on a pre-Lion Mac you will probably need to set up your email to the new iCloud server settings manually in any email application - this tutorial shows you how to enter your iCloud account settings in Apple Mail on Snow Leopard - the method for Leopard is basically the same.

7 - views and contextual filters with entity reference field - Drupal Answers

Fri, 06/29/2012 - 08:40 -- rprice

the 'right way' to do this is to work with entity approach and avoid the ['und'][0] business but I never got it to work in views. i.e. code $node=menu_get_object(); $field = field_get_items('node', $node, 'field_event_artistref'); return field_view_value('node', $node, 'field_name', $field['target_id']); code. Here's a link I was following on the topic computerminds.co.uk/articles/…

Filter/Search on multiple fields with Views 3.x | Midwestern Mac, LLC

Thu, 06/07/2012 - 12:44 -- rprice

Use the Computed Field module to create yet another field stored in the database, combining the two (or more) fields you want to search, then expose a filter for that field instead of both of the individual fields. (I don't like this because it duplicates content/storage, and involves an extra module to do so).

Impending Drupal Site Launch? Use the List | Zivtech

Thu, 06/07/2012 - 11:50 -- rprice

Every team wants their deployment process to be as close to a gentle push into deep waters as possible. At Zivtech we've launched many Drupal sites, and have compiled a checklist that we use to help things stay snag-free. We typically run through the checklist several days before launch, once the site is already on its production server(s). It ensures we didn't miss anything critical to a live site and reminds us to change settings that are appropriate only during the development cycle. This list is geared toward Drupal 7 sites but can be used for earlier versions with little difference.

The Information Slinger

Mon, 02/27/2012 - 07:35 -- rprice

the number one change you can make to become a greener small business, is to reduce your non-point source pollution. Around the physical location of your business (and home), plant attractive native plants and discontinue or minimize fertilizer and irrigation. Wherever possible, minimize your indoor concrete footprint – and outside, use permeable surfaces such as mulch, pavers, or pervious pavement. Minimize the amount of gasoline you consume by cutting down on driving and flying or switching to alternative fuel vehicles.

Fixing SASL For Colloquy When You Are Using A MiFi | Luis de la Rosa

Fri, 02/17/2012 - 05:59 -- rprice

I kept getting a strange error when firing up Colloquy: “Notice — You need to identify via SASL to use this server”. There’s a ticket for that: #2590 Sasl Support? There’s a fix already, but not in anything released. The latest nightly is from late last year. But hey, that’s the beauty of open source! Just download, compile and go.
