2 ways to your offline wikipedia
… for whatever reason you might need that ;)
For both ways you will need the dumps, you get them here:
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/dewiki/latest/
The main dump is the pages-articles.xml.bz2 if you want the categories as well, you need the
category.sql.gz and categorylinks.sql.gz too.
The pages file is quite huge and will take you probably about 4 hours to download, depending on your connection.
You will also need a fresh and running installation of the mediawiki software.
Install it and here we go:

set up magento in multiple environments
I just started digging in the shop software magento for a project and set up the following development environment.
In this scenario development is done on two local machines while products and pages beeing already edited on the “Live”-Web-Server.

Migrate to Mongolab
Recently i ran into RAM troubles on my vserver for some reasons, i encountered the evil:
Cannot allocate memory at ...
So first i suspected mongodb to use up loads of memory as top showed.
But after some recherche work i learned mongodb only -seems- to use a lot of memory.
see here and here and here
The actual usage was around 20mb RAM, so mongodb was innocent.
The true RAM monsters were some apache and php-fpm zombies, but thats another story.
While suspecting mongodb i thought about outsourcing the mongodb and i found a free and sufficient offer in mongolab.
My interests were on and i gave it a try.
The free version has a limit for up to 240MB storage and since my app is just a small counter it should last for some time.

Wunderlist client for Linux
Hey, today Wunderlist released a Linux Client for the Desktop. That made me curious about the hyped tool.
So I gave it a try on my Ubuntu machine!
Open the console and:
wget http://www.6wunderkinder.com/downloads/wunderlist-1.2.4-linux-32.tgz tar xvfz wunderlist-1.2.4-linux-32.tgz sudo mv Wunderlist-1.2.4/ /opt/
nerdpress language switch
As we also have more pageviews from outside germany lately and we’re happy about that,
we have decided to continue posting in english from now on.
OXID eShop manufacturer long description module and fck editor module
I recently made my first OXID eShop module: OXID-manufacturer-text-mod
Which basically adds a long description field to the manufacturer.
This comes just as a normal textarea, as usual in OXID CE.
If you would like to add an Richtext Editor, you can purchase the fck Editor module
and install it, if you did not already.
After you installed the fck module your textareas of the basic shop are rich text.
But since the manufacturer long description comes from the module, you have to teach the fck module the new field.

Boilerplate Build mit FTP deploy
Da habe ich mir letztens die html5 boilerplate angeschaut und musste feststellen, dass die einen ziemlich guten build mitbringt.
Dieser optimiert Bilder, konkateniert und komprimiert alles was so geht, mit Hilfe von u.a. dem YUI Kompressor.
Was es noch nicht kann ist der Deploy, aber das kann man ihm ja beibringen ;)
