One of these things is not like the other

One thing I wished W|A did better was handling equations with variables in them. Let me
define a variable and use it (more than once) in my equation! This could all be javascript, just to make seemless the interface. The above (and below) screenshot show the printout for the same algorithm, which uses the 0.09% "rate" value three times.

Something like Soulver.app, at the very least, would go a long way into minimizing user error and increase organization. Maybe it is time to write a GreaseMonkey script?

INSERT INTO mburns_drupal.wp_posts
(post_author,
post_date,
post_date_gmt,
post_content,
post_title,
post_excerpt,
post_name,
post_modified,
post_modified_gmt)
SELECT node.nid,
FROM_UNIXTIME(node.created),
FROM_UNIXTIME(node.created),
node_revisions.body,
node.title,
node_revisions.teaser,
concat('node/', node.nid),
FROM_UNIXTIME(node.changed),
FROM_UNIXTIME(node.changed)
FROM mburns_drupal.node, mburns_drupal.node_revisions WHERE node.nid = node_revisions.nid;

Setting up proper backup and redundancy for web hosts will be a source of many future posts. To get things situated, though, I'll be installing GRSecurity, a hardening set of linux patches to minimize our security footprint. Next, an application firewall like mod_security, to proactively catch scans, XSS attacks and SQL injection attempts.

If all goes well, our Portland development machine might even house a semi-pro FPS gaming team.
