Kohana Formatting Conventions for Aptana and Titanium Studio

Ever since our dev team decided to adopt Kohana’s formatting standards and conventions, we’ve found our code to be a lot more agile, and easy to work on.

This format setting **MAY** work in Eclipse as well, but I haven’t had time to test it. If we missed anything or if you have any comments or contributions to extend, please do so!

Replicate or Migrate Ubuntu Packages with Apt-Get

If you’ve ever needed to upgrade Ubuntu versions, setup a new server or do any other type of migration, this is the easiest and most satisfying way to do it.. using Apt-Get!

dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > packages.txt

Then on the new server, lets update Apt-Get and install from our file:

apt-get update
dpkg --set-selections < packages.txt
apt-get -u dselect-upgrade

That’s it!
