Jacob Kinglisten, your site isn't going to code itself

After writing my drupal module download script, it worked just fine, save for one problem: I work on multiple Drupal sites hosted on different servers. Editing .bashrc files can get tedious, so I decided to turn "getmod" into a standalone shell script.

Yet another thing I hate to do by hand is create backups of my database on demand. I hate giving them names, and I hate typing out a long linux command to get it done. However, when upgrading to a new version of drupal, or making any big system change, it's important to have a working database backup.

Our savior, yet again, is a function written to our .bashrc file.

Update: This script has been improved here.

While developing a new Drupal site, one tends to install lots of modules to shape his site into something specific. The problem is, doing so through a GUI takes much more time than I care to spend.

Around midnight of last night, the wife and I are almost in the throes of deep sleep when I get a call from Carlos, my brother-in-law: My sister is sick--they're going to the emergency room. Thanks to the H1N1 pandemic, non-sick children aren't allowed inside the emergency ward, so Molly and I drive across town to meet Carlos at the hospital, keeping my two nephews company in the lobby while Carlos goes behind the scenes.
