]]> I’ve just done a new website for one of my personal client as an auto-entrepreneur. NLC78 is an association-profit organization that offers language courses and personalized support for everyone ! From the youngest to seniors. They also offer education support for disabled people. It was really interesting working for them and see how motivated is the team behind the scene. The particularity of this website was the fact it was totally localized to a specific area of France (Yvelines).

More to come about this website as it will be internationalized.

I’m pretty proud about this website as it’s my first one as an auto-entrepreneur. Thanks to my client who trust me all along the project !

Finally, this project will be added to my portfolio in a few weeks.

]]> I’ve found a job beginning of November in the gaming industry which I thought never ended in such an industry.
When recruiter asked me about what video games I was playing on my PS3, I’ve answered only games that weren’t from the company I was trying to join.

Long story short, now I’m more an project & account manager than a lead web project manager. Higher vision of all big projects going on within the company.

]]> Recently in my current company we had a client asking for a restaurant website. We’ve decided to do it with WordPress and used it as a CMS instead of a blog. Beside the fact that we needed to create the website, they also requested us to make all the maintenance of the website and their blog. What I suggested was to have a staging platform and of course the production platform.

To do make the deployment process from staging to production seamless, I’ve created a WordPress bash deployment script to easily go from staging to production. Some of you will ask me about the development platform? To do so, we’ve used a service called DeployHQ that works pretty well. It fetch all the content of your SVN repository and push it straight to the FTP. The only tricky part was for the database. I know it wasn’t clean but I made the decision to work on the same database for the staging and development part.

If you have any suggestions about improving this script do not hesitate.

]]> After rading Using a Cron job to keep things safe I didn’t found this really a complete procedure as it only backup the database… I think it’s better to backup everything at once and we usually have some associated files like for example themes, images uploaded, etc… remaining that we don’t won’t to lost. So here is a solution to keep a copy of everything no matter what happen and unobstructive while visitors are visiting.

UPDATE 03/02/2011 -1.1:

  • Added a functionality to remove all file into the backup folder older than the specified number of days. Just set days_delete and it will delete all files older than days_delete days.
  • Added security to stop script if an error goes wrong

Just set up a cronjob and you’re good to go.

Ok, now we are talking! Piracy will continue and drain a lot of new users everyday. How do you want to stop that?

Mulve sounds to get 90’s and early 00’s back on the stage with Napster like software, where are we going?

Answer: in a KISS direction. Keep It Stupid Simple!
