Assuming this posts properly, I will have fixed something and used svn to propogate the code changes and made it painless.
I saw a presentation at UHACC a few years ago on the subversion revision system, about how it was a direct replacement for cvs and that it's all that and a bag of chips. I've used it for collaboration on code and as a way of backing up. However, in the context of this blog software, it's the first time I've 1) used it for deployment and 2) it's the first time that I've set up the repository myself. So not majorly earth-shattering but moderately nifty.
So the issue is that all through the fall I was working in fits and starts on the scripts on my laptop, and testing them there, but I hadn't deployed them on the server that holds my actual web page because I didn't want them to have disjoint development. And so although the scripts are still in a very primitive, half-assembled state, the last specific thing I needed to do to take the blog live was to get subversion set up on the server so that I could make changes in one place and they'd show up in the other place easily.
So last night, after I posted, I noticed that the date in the last entry is formatted in a wierd way. This morning I fixed that in the version of the code that's on my laptop, checked in the changes, and now I've checked them out again on the server. I'll instantiate this entry now and then we'll see if the formatting was right.
And then, now that the sun's up, I need to go take a few outside photos for my project for photography class. The project requires a narrative, and one of the shots I want to get is of putting gas in a car. I hope that the shutter doesn't freeze and bog down.
