Toyota Hilux TRD

A recent project that I worked on whilst at Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney for Toyota Australia. The microsite leads on from the TVC , you can re-subtitle the ad and send it on to your mates.

This project has recently been pulled down, campaign sites… they don’t stay up for too long. You can view the award entry here, this gives a good overview of the functionality… and an archived verion here

Subversion on Media Temple

I had a few projects that I was carrying from home to work either via zip files uploaded to my web server, on a usb stick and once or twice on a DVD (My whole Eclipse workspace).

A little stupid.

So, great idea, install Subversion on my web server. We have subversion running on Media Temple at work and it runs well. First thing, check out what Media Temple say about Subversion on there servers, here.

Media Temples step by step tutorial seemed pretty straight forward. But was not quite working… by not quite working I mean unable to connect from any Subversion client (I was using Subclipse and also Tortoise on my Parallels XP machine).

So I asked Google. Google came back with some very helpful links. The best being from Kieth Peters (Bit 101). Kieth’s post exposes a few points that are key in getting subversion up and running on Media Temples Grid Server.

So yes… This post is just a big massive glorified link to Kieth’s post. Check the comments out, as there are a few good points there also. One of the best things to take from the comments on Kieth’s post is:

svn+ssh://<your-domain-name>/home/<your-mediatemple-server-id>/data/svn/<your-reponame>

The above will get you connected in Eclipse/Subclipse, where it says <your-mediatemple-server-id> this is without the letter s. From there you can setup your preferred subversion structure.
