This is from the README

1. Upload the plugin to your plugins folder: ‘wp-content/plugins/’
2. Make sure ‘wp-content/plugins/wp-minify/cache’ is writeable by the web server. (try ‘chmod 777 wp-content/plugins/wp-minify/cache’)
3. Activate the ‘WP Minify’ plugin from the Plugins admin panel.
4. You will probably have broken JavaScript calls, so following the following [tutorial](http://omninoggin.com/wordpress-posts/how-to-troubleshoot-wp-minify/) and exclude problematic JavaScripts from WP Minify.
5. (optional) For better performance, modify “$min_cachePath” in “wp-content/plugins/wp-minify/min/config.php” to point to “/full/path/to/wp-content/plugins/wp-minify/cache”.

One of the functions of my VPS is to act as my subversion repository for a mountain of code I look after. Setting up subversion this time, I took the chance to tidy up some of the URL scheme’s I had in place (or lack thereof) and now everything is fine and dandy. Except, all my old projects on multiple servers dotted around the globe now had the wrong URL’s in all the .svn/entries files. A combination of Perl, find and xargs to the rescue and this command will do an in-place search and replace of all your entries files in a flash.

Open up your favourite terminal and navigate to the root of the directory you want to fix and run the following command

% find . -print | grep entries | xargs perl -pi -e 's/\/old\/URL/new/URL/g'

You can make backup’s of the files you are modifying like so

% find . -print | grep entries | xargs perl -pi.bak -e 's/old\/URL/new/URL/g'

Enjoy your new subversion server and the hours of free time you just saved.

EDIT:

It’s been pointed out to me by Ole Tange that my use of xargs is dangerous. Strictly speaking it is with those command line switches. It won’t handle files with special characters or newlines in them properly. (however, in this case I knew I didn’t have any and was being lazy) Anyway, a more complete version would be as follows.

find . -name "entries" -print0 | xargs -0 perl -pi -e 's/\/old\/URL/new/URL/g'

Ole also points to a tool I haven’t used before –  GNU Parallel – which could be a drop in, safe replacement for xargs (if you use it right…) and has some other nice features too.

• Chrome - I’ve been a Firefox user since 0.9*ish and before. I like Chrome now – for most things. I still can’t quite ditch Firebug. (I never really got comfortable with Safari although it is probably the best looking). Free

• Firefox – Install Firebug and Adblock Plus and away you go. Free

• Transmission – I confess to never really using any other mac Bittorrent clients in anger on the mac, but I for sure have this. It works. Well. Install it. Free

• Transmit – Well, this app is not free, but I like to support MY industry sometimes. This is one of those times. If you want a free alternative, install Filezilla (it’s ok but not great – I look after some FTP servers for a living and it has some annoying quirks and looks like a dog’s dinner). This seems to get more press nowadays - Cyberduck. I prefer Transmit. To be honest, who needs an FTP client now a days (I still do, but I transfer alot of LARGE files). For updating code, version control is your friend (or even Bittorrent). Paid

• Textmate – This is the best text (read PHP, Python, Javascript, CSS and HTML) editor for the Mac. It’s long overdue for an overhaul but it does everything I need and more thanks to some great plugins. How much fancier can a text editor get anyway? Paid

• Photoshop – There are some other image editing softwares around that are getting a good name now a days - Pixelmator comes to mind – but I have yet to try any of them. I still use Photoshop. I keep trying to migrate to Fireworks but laziness keeps me on Photoshop. PAID!

• MySQL Workbench – This is the updated GUI from MySQL… and it is very good. Free

• iTerm- I prefer this to the Terminal.app bundled with Snow Leopard, mainly for the text selection when clicking in the terminal with a mouse – it works the way rxvt did which I like. The audible and visual bells are nicer too. On the other hand, I don’t think it handles huge histories so well as Terminal.app (It’s uses Cocoa, maybe this is why?). Free

• Free Ruler – This is a really old app – requires Rosetta to run – but it is free. It is a set of screen callipers so you can measure stuff – like pixels when building a webpage. Great. Free

• Steam – I must admit, I am a late comer to Valve games, but they are great. Install it and go download Half Life 2. Free

• VirtualBox – Since Snow Leopard, I have switched form Parallels to VirtualBox. It’s free (for now, although Sun was recently bought by Oracle…) and seems to work fine for all I need it for – which is testing IE* and running XBMC Media Companion. Free

• Adium – Great IM client. Looks gorgeous, hugely customisable, free supports multiple accounts and services. Free

• TweetDeck – If you like to take it up the twitter, then this is the best client I have seen. The way you can manage users, lists and searches changes the way twitter looks and acts into something slightly interesting. Free

• Colloquy – If you still need to hop on IRC, this is the nicest, mac-like client around. Easy on the eyes while doing everything I need it to do (which ain’t much). Free

• Audio Hijack Pro – This paid for program is excellent. It allows you to record whatever is coming across your sound card. It supports multiple formats and qualities (mp3, AAC, Apple Lossless, sadly no FLAC). It also supports tagging and effects although I have never used any as I am usually ripping a Spotify stream or something (of which I have already bought a copy of…) Paid

• Spotify – This lets you find and stream music for free. There is a paid for version as well which gets rid of the ads (audible ads mind you) and other things like offline playlists and supports for mobiles. Free

• Perian – This app allows quicktime to playback a bunch of formats (DIVX, FLV, MKV, etc) it couldn’t otherwise do – cos it’s retarded. Install it and forget about it. Free

• Handbrake – Great video transcoding app. Really simple to use and does a good job with most of the default settings so ripping a DVD for the most part is inserting it and hitting go. Free

• Jaikoz Audio Tagger – I used this app recently as my music collection had become a tad ungainly after years and years of adding music from a ton of different sources. Tags were all over the place. I tried a number of different apps and they all seemed to do a half assed job of automatically correcting them. I had even tried Jaikoz before with little succes. However as of 3.6 I think it is great. I ripped my whole collection (16000+ songs) in just shy of 2 days and it looks sweet. Buy it if you like to be tidy. Paid

• Fluke – This app makes it possible play FLAC’s in iTunes. It supports tags, track numbers, artists etc. The bext thing about it is, it doesn’t alter the original FLAC. Very good. Free

• XLD – This is the deFacto tool for encoding lossless audio on the Mac (E.g. CD’s). This will spit out perfect FLAC’s along with log files of what went wrong/right. Free

• UnRarX – Does what it says on the tin. It unrar’s stuff. The best one for handling large files and multiple files I have found. And it is Free
