I figured I'd leave it open for others to try out as well.

Has nothing to do with operating system though :-) For the Mac, I setup MobileMe for a previous job, and liked it enough to keep it. You got TimeMachine on a local backup drive, iDisk for important stuff (stored on the internet) and source code repositories via svn/git on external servers. Now that's cooking! -- Mitch ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:06:39 -0500 From: Mitch Pirtle <mitch.pir...@gmail.com> To: "NYPHP SIG: Joomla" <joomla@lists.nyphp.org> Subject: Re: [joomla] Redmine Message-ID: <330532b61002151006n6a72d995la4291637cee07...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 12:59 PM, Gary Mort <garyam...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi folks, I'm giving redmine a try.....

You can also run your own Redmine/RoR server at Heroku for free: * http://heroku.com/ And if that is too much work for you, you got two companies that host your redmine for you, with additional goodies too: * https://pmphq.com/ * http://plan.io/en/ Not affiliated with any of the above, just happy to see people FINALLY attempting to actually manage projects and code :-) -- Mitch ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 10:17:57 -0800 (PST) From: Donna Marie Vincent <donnamarievinc...@yahoo.com> To: "NYPHP SIG: Joomla" <joomla@lists.nyphp.org> Cc: "NYPHP SIG: Joomla" <joomla@lists.nyphp.org> Subject: Re: [joomla] Server2Go, GONE!

Message-ID: <330532b61002151032p27f2d07bv98dd7b17f43d9...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 This is actually solid development practice, something I've been doing for years, and it's the way we managed development of Joomla (and Mambo before it). If Git is too modern for you and you just gotta stick with subversion, you can try one of these: * http://beanstalkapp.com/ * http://unfuddle.com/ If you develop websites for a living and don't use some sort of source code revision control, you're making a HUGE mistake. I setup subversion to run on a server - usually at ServerBeach - and also provision that server with automated backups. I then checkout my project on the local machine (laptop) where I do development. Whenever I finish something, I simply commit, and that sends the new code up to the subversion repository on the server, which in turn gets backed up. I have a local external drive that I use for TimeMachine, more than anything as a precaution in case my laptop gets too much coffee or falls down the stairs late at night. In the end, the likelihood of the following all happening at the exact same time is very close to absolute zero: * external drive fail * laptop fail * server fail * datacenter backup systems fail And after some thought, if all these things failed at the same time then I probably got bigger problems than some stupid website. -- Mitch ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:35:05 -0500 From: Mitch Pirtle <mitch.pir...@gmail.com> To: "NYPHP SIG: Joomla" <joomla@lists.nyphp.org> Subject: [joomla] Here's a thought Message-ID: <330532b61002151035n6018cd89i33d1f9249d2a...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 For all the mac-users out there, would you be interested in me giving a session on setting up a MacBookPro for web development? It would cover using macports, and setting up PHP, apache, MySQL and svn/git. Also would include how to manage your development workflow with remote servers and whatnot. I could probably host it at an Apple Store. If there's any interest I'll take a look into it. -- Mitch ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ joomla mailing list joomla@lists.nyphp.org http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/joomla End of joomla Digest, Vol 38, Issue 15 ************************************** _______________________________________________ New York PHP SIG: Joomla!
