Migrated to Linux and still under the process of recreating an enviro where I'm as productive as I was on Windows. Almost there with Git. Still got to find a simple yet rather complete graphic editing tool to replace a SUPER old version of Paint Shop Pro. So far my go-to solution is photopea.com

So, after a 10 year hiatus (ten years !!), I'm rebooting this blog. New WP theme, no new topics except less (much less) WordPress. Cya soon :)

A while ago, I mentioned a one-file WP installer, that has since gone missing. Today I just came across something similar, except better: WordPress QI (Quick Installer), from WP god dd32 who is responsible for most if not all of the WP-Filesystem class that's currently in WordPress and that powers the core/plugin/theme installer/upgrader. I predict this kind script will be officially available from wp.org before too long.

Something to watch: EasyWP is a one-file script that downloads and unzips latest WordPress build on your web server (so the average Joe doesn't have to download the archive, unzip on his computer, and then upload everything). The file is rather immature at the moment (using only fopen(), needing Zip PHP extension, these things) but will evolve. Eventually this kind of feature has to be integrated to WordPress, I'd say.

In case you'd like to know more about me, there's a pretty good interview of me over at Single Function. I say "pretty good" because I like how interviews there are done, mixing up personal aspects with more focused and technical ones. Go read!
