Let's say you're using Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail, released in April 2013) and it just went End-of-Life on you, because it's supported for only 6 months, and the deprecated packages are taken down after 12 months.

You'll probably figure this out the hard way. When you run sudo apt-get update, it will eventually report these errors:

Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com raring-updates/universe Sources/DiffIndex

Install jsonlint to act as syntastic json checker:

$ npm install jsonlint -g

How to setup your own CA with OpenSSL

For educational reasons I've decided to create my own CA. Here is what I learned.

Styling the Drupal Commerce Shopping Cart Block

Use Drush to Export/Import a Drupal MySQL Database Dump File

Export Database to File

[...] Behold the power of Drush (once you are ssh'd in and navigated to your drupal root directory)

drush cc
drush sql-dump > ~/my-sql-dump-file-name.sql

Those two commands clear all the Drupal caches and then dump the sql database to a file in your home directory. Awesome sauce!

	$block = $vars['block'];
	if($block->module == 'system' && $block->delta == 'main' && function_exists('views_get_page_view') && views_get_page_view()){
	$view_object = views_get_page_view();

	}
