Well, I decided to install Leopard not too long ago. When I did it, I decided to go with a clean install, which meant basically destroying my development environment. So I finally went through and got everything setup so I can have local URL’s for sites I’m working on, MySQL, Apache/PHP, etc. I have to admit, I am pretty impressed with how it’s all come together. I feel like I could really get some things done with this setup.

I’ve also improved with my SVN knowledge recently, and have even been investigating git, which I must say, has some neat features.  I’m just not sure that it’s the route I want to go at the moment. Actually, a repository of some sort is the only thing I’m really lacking at the moment. Where I’m hosting my website runs a SVN server, so I can setup repositories there. But, I’ve sort of become a trac junkie, and they don’t have that installed and hooked up to SVN. I know of a decently priced service that makes the whole SVN/Trac thing so easy, but I don’t really have enough going on at the moment to make it worth spending money on for personal stuff.

I could always go for github, which is an option, but I really enjoy having trac.

Anyhow, sadly I have pretty much zero freelance work at the moment (I’ve been turning it down for the most part, except for some really small projects), and I don’t have any ideas for things I’d like to make. So I suppose now that I have this all setup and figured out … all I really need is an idea. /sigh

I’ve been considering trying to get into the WP community, but I guess I’m somewhat nervous about the idea to be honest. I’ve never really contributed to an open source project, certainly not one as massive as WP has become. I’m not even sure where I’d begin, heh. It would be cool to solve a bug or something and have it committed. There’d be a feeling of accomplishment there.
