Since http://ietherpad.com is down and I was notified all data was lost, this ruined my day, since I was already planning for past few weeks to write a script that would do daily backups. There is bright future however. I am migrating to http://titanpad.com, wrote backup script in advance, and also managed to get some data from chrome cache. Here are the steps: on linux, figure out which history Index are you interested in: grep -R ietherpad ~/.chromium/Default/* open it: sqlite3 ~/.chromium/Default/HistoryIndex2011-11 find your page and retrieve data: select * from pages_content where c0url like %ietherpad%

Wow, a lot has happened since my last blog post. Highlight of the July being the Sauna Sprint 2011! Tom Gross worked on improving TinyMCE integration with JQuery plugin, javascript combiner and compressor. Now plain Plone 4 production site has 1/3 less requests in edit mode. Kai Lautaportti refactored ploneimage.js from stratch with JQuery, no globals, documentation and jslint. Roel Bruggink was really helpful with improving user stories and overall experience. Also thanks to Peter Čuhalev for work on amazing redesign of image/link browser dialogs. His work was kindly sponsored by Hexagon IT, you guys rock! If you do like his contribution, it's best to offer him more proper open source craziness.

University was quite successfully killing my overall productivity. Past week was grand finale, so I'm completely back to TinyMCE and Plone. For few past weeks I was working on upgrading TinyMCE to version 3.4.3 (Plone currently uses version back from 2009). Fully automated upgrade procedure is now as easy as running a shell script. Upgrade was twice (or more) as painful as I originally anticipated. During upgrade many walls were hit and I questioned the whole approach. The conclusion is more or less: this is not maintainable. Few thoughts:

Two very wanted features landed in Gentoo Linux portage tree. PyPy ebuild submitted just 2 months ago! automatic unmask of packages released in portage 2.1.10! Thanks Zac Medico, you rock! --autounmask and --autounmask-write are two new parameters for portage that every user was dreaming of. It will even respect --ask flag! Here is what happens: emerge --ask --autounmask-write pypy will ask you to unmask latest pypy version and to confirm configuration changes emerge --autounmask-write pypy will just unmask needed packages without asking. In either case, you have to confirm changes with dispatch-conf or similar tools. Happy Gentooing!
