Welcome to Drift!

Drift is an always-already versioned, cloud-backed text editor. You can use it to take notes, and save them in the GitHub cloud.

Your gists are always saved locally, and any changes you make will get pushed to GitHub's servers.

To name a gist, touch its name in the toolbar.

You can use the share button at the top-right to copy a link to one of your gists, or view it on the web in Safari.

WordPress Migration Notes

When moving a WordPress database from one server to another, the 'guid' attribute of everything in the wp_posts table needs to be modified to include the new server's URL.

(Values in angle brackets are placeholders - everything else is literal)

Example Query:

UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = REPLACE(guid, '<old_url>', '<new_url>');

Editing the AppleUSB Trackpad Kernel Extension

make a time machine backup first
look for the kext file in /System/Library/Extensions
make a copy of it somewhere
then go into Terminal (you can't edit the file from Finder, it'll give you a permissions error)
in terminal, type cd /System/Library/Extensions/WHATEVER_THE_KEXT_IS_CALLED.kext/Contents
type sudo nano Info.plist
it'll ask you for your password, type it and hit enter
from there it's a matter of editing the XML file like he says

HCard Shortcode Example

Simplest example is just [hcard].

This builds a div using the HCard Microformat spec, which enlightened browsers and devices can take advantage of. With no other options, [hcard] fills in the following default contact info:

	output = ""
	IO.popen(processor, 'r+') do \|pipe\|
	pipe.puts tmpl
	pipe.close_write

	while l = pipe.gets
	output << l
	end
	end

	1. Use string interpolation. Don't glue strings together unless it's really necessary.
	Interpolation is only a little slower, and it's much more readable.
