Recently I’ve run into a Powershell script problem on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box. Typically I’d use ISE to debug, however, this box didn’t have it for some reason. The instructions on Shay Levy’s blog also apply to 2008 R2 systems.
In short that’s:
Import-Module ServerManager Add-WindowsFeature Powershell-ISE
I’ve got several Trac systems in use for various reasons. However assigning tickets to a user is wide open by default. That list can be restricted to users that have logged in and supplied their email address by changing [ticket] restrict_owner in trac.in to true.
Users that are in that Trac’s database and have the TICKET_MODIFY privilege will show up in the list.
See the Trac Tickets wiki for more.
I’ve switched to a pattern generated by PatternCooler. I’m simply amazed by the options and how well the app functions.
I try to watch a TED talk every day. Just before I switched the web site over to WordPress, I had watched this talk on Try something new for 30 days which I think led to my comment that I’d try this WordPress for 30 days. I regularly grab a video in the motivational category, however, I’ve rarely been disappointed by any of them. It’s become something I look forward to every day. Try it for a month, you won’t regret it!
Another benefit of moving from my ancient version of MediaWiki to WordPress is easier access to plug-ins. Many of my links hadn’t been checked in years. Simply adding the Broken Link Checker quickly identified links that were either shut down some time ago or were broken during the transfer from MediaWiki to WordPress.
At this point it’s quite clear to me that I’ll be sticking with WordPress for a while.
The default header for the WordPress twenty-eleven theme is fairly large, taking up a lot of space on the initial impression that I’d prefer to use for other content. I’d rather have the title over top of the image. Turns out that this is easily addressed by modifying the Style.css of the child theme to position the title element in absolute terms. Subsequent sibling elements (the header image) are positioned relatively from there.
#branding hgroup {
position: absolute;
}
I found some free high quality image sources:
Modifying the theme of a word-press page was simple:

I’ve (lightly) maintained a Mediawiki site for over a decade now and it’s time to move on. Although I’ve set up a couple Drupal sites previously, my needs aren’t as great as all that (that being lots of users adding content and forums and so on). I’m running this for 30 days as a test case.
