I have just committed a major update to my K2 Hook Up plugin. As soon as I released my plugin—which allows smart people using the K2 theme to insert arbitrary HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code into any of the 7 custom template hooks that K2 provides—I got the same question: When will it support inserting PHP code?
I’m happy to report that its day has come, and that day is today.
I just added another shell script to the growing library of open source code available on xentek.net. This entry is nothing special, but may prove useful to you. The script can generate a string, between 3 and 32 characters long, that you can use when setting new passwords.
The passwords won’t be the most secure in the world (doesn’t include any Uppercase Letters) but does bookend a random md5 string with some special characters to increase the complexity. You can pass in a number between 1 – 32 to control how long of a password it generates for you.
Download the random password script it from the code library.
If you follow best practices for Subversion, then you create the standard repository layout, with trunk, tags, and branches directories. In fact these are usually my first three commits of any new repository. I’ve completed these steps so many times in the last few months, that I can practically type it in my sleep. Tired of repeating myself, I started digging into shell scripting to automate this task and released the fruits of my labor here: SVN: New Repos.

I’m a little late in posting this, but a few weeks ago I got together with Ryan Price, esteemed colleague and founder of Florida Creatives. We recorded the following podcast… over a bottle of scotch.
We ramble a little, but during the conversation we discussed the beginnings of Florida Creatives, the similar idea I had in 2001, and a variety of other pursuits involving organizing groups of like minded people. If you can get past the tangents, I think you’ll learn about the local scene, and your humble hosts.
Enjoy!
This is what it looks like, when n00bs cry.
When defining Content Types in Drupal with the Content Construction Kit you get a chance to make select dropdowns with it. It takes its key/value pairs in this format: Key|Value. The attached list will give you US States in this format. Hopefully this will save others a bit of time in preparing such a list for CCK.
