Re: dev.textpattern.com gone missing ?
Just one minor point – in the blogpost it says you can do an SVN checkout using “http://textpattern-cms.googlecode.com/svn/development/4.0 dev” which doesn’t work. You need to remove the “ dev” bit on the end or make it plainer that this isn’t meant to be part of the URL.

It does work. If the space was part of the URL, it would’ve been shown as URL-encoded or at the very least, the URL would have to be quoted.

Re: dev.textpattern.com gone missing ?
Well my little Tortoise tells me it doesn’t exist with the dev bit on the end. It works fine with “http://textpattern-cms.googlecode.com/svn/development/4.0”. Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying?

Re: dev.textpattern.com gone missing ?
You’re misunderstanding. The examples at Google Code show how to checkout to a specific directory. That’s that part that follows the URL (dev, crockery, stable). Those examples work fine on the command line. I think in Tortoise, you have to put that last part in the “checkout directory” input field.

Yes, that’s correct. The example is for commandline SVN, and the space indicates the URL has ended, and what follows is what you want the directory to be named. Typically with TortoiseSVN I’ve already created the folder, right-clicked on it and chosen “Checkout”, so the folder name is already what I want it to be.

Aha. Got it. So why don’t we all go back to simple MSDOS and forget all this pretty stuff then? ;)

Actually, I still use DOS and batch files on a daily basis. :D

Tell us that story, aunty Mary! Do you still use the computer in “black mode”?

Re: dev.textpattern.com gone missing ?
I prefer typing instead of clicking as well. Most file management operations, I do in a command line interface. And when I have to start a program, I usually enter the program name instead of opening a menu and clicking it. Didn’t use windows until late ’99 and it wasn’t until I switched to Linux in 2002 that I stopped missing 4DOS.

Re: dev.textpattern.com gone missing ?
Amazing! I remember at work that our first computers all ran in DOS and when the first Windows came out I simply couldn’t get on with it and continued to boot my own machine into DOS. I found that I had become so used to working within a directory tree and using DOS commands that Windows simply confused me as I didn’t know “where I was” on the computer. Of course that was partly the point of Windows, not needing to know, simplifying the operation by just clicking an option but it completely threw me.

Same here ;) (another year though…)

Stuart, Linux was made for you :) Give it a try!

It doesn’t want us to know, keeping us ignorant makes us dependent :(

Well on my old machine I had the hard drive partitioned and was running a copy of Ubuntu, which I liked but I never got my modem “connected up” so was unable to do any on-line stuff. I haven’t tried installing it to the new machine yet. I must have another go at it. Which flavour of Linux do people recommend these days?

Re: dev.textpattern.com gone missing ?
The first computers I ever used were Tandys that ran on DOS (ah the site of a child typing dos commands). Then in elementary school we had Macs. Boy was that a confusing change. A little later I remember having a classmate who was raving on and on about how awesome Windows 95 was.

I started with Ubuntu and sticked to it, so I can’t compare :) I just love it, the only trouble I encounter is caused by hardware, but that’s because of the manufacturers that only provide closed drivers! So indeed, every time I upgrade Ubuntu I have to do some serious figuring out how to get the wireless internet connection working again, and of course I don’t upgrade often enough to remember what I did last time… ;)
But every new version of Ubuntu is better in handling hardware compatibility, and anyway, I like it so much that it’s worth a bit of figuring out every once in a while.

Re: dev.textpattern.com gone missing ?
True. I’ll have to have another go. I’d better send off for some new disks though. The ones I have are version 5.10 and must be about 18 months old. I bet they’ve moved on a bit. ;)
