Mercurial
I went through the tutorial at
http://hginit.com/ with my Project Euler code and, among other things, learned how to merge code in Mercurial. My code is hosted at
http://code.google.com/p/sams-project-euler-code/ (I found out you don't need to name your repository directory the same way). Mercurial looks really cool. Unfortunately Subversion seems to still be pretty pervasive, oh well.
More Wordpress
I spent some time with
ticket #18866. The problem was the when that wp-config.php file is missing an error page needs to be displayed and that error page was missing some necessary styling. It turned out that this had come from a change in
another ticket where it had been decided to put the styling for these sorts of error pages inline as opposed to linking to stylesheet file. In doing this they had missed some crucial styles causing the page's styling to be incomplete. I added them in.
I also started looking at
ticket #18769 which proposes a fix to a problem that's been bugging me for a while. When you want to move a WordPress site to a new location the process is complicated. It's described
here. The ticket is awaiting review and it's likely it won't get much attention until the upcoming
release of v3.3 but it could be a nice project for the latter half of the semester. I'm thinking about working on it so I already have some code to show when someone finally gets a chance to look at it. On the other hand people might disagree with my idea of how to resolve it..
