I was not satisfied with just chgrp -R files that were created with SVN so decided to do some research on how Linux determines which gid to assign to a file when created.

I was hoping that it was as simple as just changing an environment variable but that was not the case. However, I came across this tlpd.org page:

http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_04.html

It brought to my attention the newgrp and id commands. I wrote up a quick  wiki article about this.

Wrote a wiki article on how I setup the NTP server on my Linux server and what I had to do to get my laptop to sync it’s time with the server.

Now that school’s begun, I won’t be doing many BFWorks stuff–if at all. However, I expect to have a busy summer after the semester. I plan to put more time in polishing my experiments in Facebook applications and Wordpress plugins.

I also plan to finish some of the projects I begun using Zend Framework.

I upgraded Wordpress on both my blogs (this one and IAmBelmin) to 2.3.2. Documented the process in a wiki article.

I know exists a perhaps “easier” way to perform the upgrade with svn but I don’t trust it with my non-Wordpress files that are hosted in the same directory. This has worked for me for the past 2 upgrades. Next time I’ll look into the svn method.

As far as the upgrade itself, seems like it is mostly to address DB related security issues. They have implemented DB error templating. I will probably take a look at that later on in the future.
