Very Basic Site Backup Bash Script

I wrote this to simply backup a site. Its quick and dirty, but gets the job done. Save this file as “savesite” or whatever you want and “chmod +x {filename}”. If its hushed-up a bit it can be set as a cronjob. I’ll mess around with this when its not 1:30am on a thursday.

Setting up CVS on Dreamhost

Edit: I just started using subversion and like it way better — CVS has been retired for now. This is partially because SVN works from my office and CVS doesn’t

Making Gedit Behave Like TextMate for Linux

Php5 on Dreamhost
