There are several ways to do this if you have seperate web directories for http and https:
1) Use an index.html with a forward header
2) Use an index.html with a forward javascript
But, if you are using the *same* web directory, how can you do it?
Use an .htaccess file and mod_rewrite

So, you want a website, but where do you start?
There are lots of different kinds of websites out there, from giant amazon.com's to my little blog. If you have a killer idea for a website, or just want something "decent" where do you start?
Here are some tips for non-technical professionals to get started.
1) What is your budget?

"Goats are led, sheep are driven."
There, I said it. Google's search didn't list it, but it needed to be said. I was looking for an attribution, but it's going to have to be anonymous.
It's a proverb about motivation. Sometimes we're dealing with goats, sometimes with sheep. It's good to know the difference. Turning goats into sheep is easy and often unconscious. Turning sheep into goats is hard work, but possible.

Hi, I made this for myself, and thought someone else might be interested.
It's an automated install bash script for a Sympal ready lamp server, based on Ubuntu 9.10.
#!/bin/bash

Subversion is awesome, but it's command line interface is "non-intuitive". Here are some short-cuts I created to remember the commands. The most useful are:
- svn_add_all [folder] - svn add any files not under version control
- svn_revert_all [folder] - revert any changes to folder recursively
- svn_ignore [folder] [pattern] - add the pattern to the folder's ignore list

Tomorrow, I'm giving a presentation at the Berkeley Drupal User Group (BDUG) on Version Control and Drupal.
http://www.slideboom.com/presentations/113014/Drupal-Version-Control
I uploaded them to slideboom while I tweak my website to offer files. The slide transitions don't show in the flash, but require clicks to move through. This is what's happening if you're clicking "next" and get no go. Anyways, I'll update my site later this week. So many things to do, so little time.
Go Drupal!

I bought a new mouse recently and it squeaked! It was cute for about an hour, then got really old.
It is a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 v2.0. Generally, it feels a little cheap in the hand, but whatever.
Short version of fix:
From the wheel button, trace the creavice between the buttons to the top of the mouse. There is a tiny notch. Press down hard.

Hello, setting up source code control is less than exciting. Here's a quick way to do it.
