The past few days, I have been working on switching my girlfriend’s new site – Mientje’s Baksels – from wordpress.com to a self-hosted blog, using WordPress 3′s new multisite feature (this blog should move there soon too, I just have to sort out the domain transfer). The wordpress.com blog used WooTheme’s Bueno theme, which we thought matched very well with the subject of her blog: cakes. Unfortunately, the theme didn’t seem to pick up the Dutch language selection. Here’s what was wrong with it, and what I did to fix it.

Upgrade to WordPress 3
Just a quick note to say I’ve upgraded this blog to WordPress 3.0.1. I haven’t had a look around yet, but I plan to give the multisite feature a run for its money soon.

TUAW: Latest Version of Camera+ Turns iPhone Volume Button Into Shutter Trigger
The version that did this right out in the open was just rejected from the App Store, but there’s a trick that will enable it in the current version. Just point your iPhone’s browser at camplus://enablevolumesnap and be done. Turning it off is done the same way: camplus://disablevolumesnap. (You’ll need to have Camera+ installed first, obviously).

Goodbye GeekBrief, hello GeekBeat?
Ever since I got my Apple TV, I have been watching video podcasts on it (and is now the sole reason I haven’t switched to Plex completely), and the one that’s been in my iTunes subscription list since the very beginning is GeekBrief.tv. Imagine my surprise when I saw the show notes for episode 780, and then watched the episode itself. The last episode? Well, sort of. Immediately after going to CaliLewis.me, I found out Cali is continuing, but under a different name – GeekBeat – and now with Revision3 (of Diggnation fame, GeekBrief used to be with Mevio). No idea what has been going on, from Neal Campbell’s blog I learn that they are no longer married, so that might have something to do with it. Anyhow, I’ll be continuing to watch Cali, now on GeekBeat.

Converting from Subversion to Git
For a personal project I wanted to convert from subversion to Git. There are a lot of tutorials out there. Why add another one? Well, I haven’t found one that is generic and tells me everything I want to do. The most notable omission from most tutorials is, what happens to your Subversion branches and tags. I want them to be properly converted, and I want to replace my server side SVN repo with a Git repo, so that I have a central place somewhere that stores my work.
So, I’m recording the steps I need to take, as much for my own future reference as for the “public benefit”. The project in question is the website for the Mini Seven Club Nederland. I’m by no means a Git expert (I hope to become one once I have converted a few of my projects to Git), so please bare with me and forgive any mistakes I might make (or rather, please point them out in the comments).
