I recently posted a Subversion Command Line Script to export changed files and in response to a comment on that page have posted a new version here, which writes out the current revision number to a file and only exports from that revision when the script is run again.
TortoiseSVN is a powerful SVN client that plugs into Windows Explorer. This post looks at how to export just the changed files between two version numbers.

A few days ago I showed a basic example using the jQuery Facebox plugin to open dialog windows where particular links are made to open in a Facebox dialog. I was then asked in a comment how to open a dialog without making it opened from a link; this is covered with a brief example on the Facebox page but I’ve covered this a little more comprehensively in this post.
If you are connecting to a remote server from the Mac OS X terminal and get the message "Error opening terminal: xterm-color" when doing certain operations on the remote server, then you either change your terminal’s declaration setting or add a TERM declaration to the bash profile on the server at the other end to prevent the error message from happening. There may be other ways to solve it at the server end but this post shows a quick and easy fix.
There are many examples and tutorials online about how to generate thumbnail images with PHP but I decided to add another one myself in order to follow up an earlier post titled "extract images from a web page with PHP and the Simple HTML DOM Parser". This post features the class to generate the thumbnail images and the next post will show how to use the Simple HTML DOM Parser to grab all the images from a page and create thumbnails from them.
