Stupid WordPress Tricks One of the most popular articles here at Perishable Press is my January 2005 post, Stupid htaccess Tricks.

WordPress › Planet Incubators: A Booster Shot for Tech Entrepreneurs? - San Diego Magazine - April 2012 San Diego startups are getting help from the big guys by Mike Stetz Posted Friday, March 16, 2012, 10:00AM EvoNexus building, downtown IT'S TOUGH ON SAN DIEGO TECH ENTREPRENEURS these days. But there’s hope: Incubators to the rescue! The model is relatively new to San Diego, but it holds a lot of promise because it allows big thinkers with small pockets to get access to critical lab hardware or office space for an affordable price or at no cost at all, thanks to donations or subsidies from venture capitalists or large corporations looking for a direct line to the next big thing. In January, an incubator for small biotechs called Janssen Labs opened at Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development in La Jolla. “Biotech needs research,” says Joe Panetta, CEO of BIOCOM, which represents the region’s biotechnology industry. Small biotech startups do pay rent to use the Janssen incubator, but that’s their only obligation. And if they fail, they don’t fail miserably. The result?
Main Page Signs of Resurgence in SD as EvoNexus Opens Tech Incubator Bruce V. Bigelow2/17/12 It could have been just another lame ribbon-cutting ceremony. There was a proclamation signed by the Mayor and the San Diego City Council that declared Feb. 16th as “EvoNexus Downtown Day.” Last night’s official opening of the downtown EvoNexus, an incubator for Internet software and mobile app startups, drew more than 200 people, and many seemed to be infused with a fresh sense of optimism that maybe, just maybe, a resurgence of local tech startups is underway here. “The vision is to create something close to San Francisco’s ‘South of Market’ area,” says Kevin Hell, the former DivX CEO who has been overseeing EvoNexus as the incubator’s volunteer chairman. EvoNexus Opening Crowd CommNexus, the non-profit industry group once known as the San Diego Telecom Council, established EvoNexus in the University City area in 2009 as a free startup incubator. Of 14 startups that moved into the first EvoNexus incubator in University City, six have moved out.
converting links from MT to WordPress I had over 1,000 posts in Movable Type that were archived individually, by month and by category. When I switched to WordPress I changed the format of the permanent links to include the date and title instead of the non-portable post ID (which, by the way, MT does not include when you export your blog so your permanent links won’t work if you export and import your blog through MT either). I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get those old URLs to forward to WordPress but in the end it wasn’t all that difficult. The easiest was the monthly archive. It used to be “/archive/year_month.html” so I just added a line in the .htaccess to change it to “/archives/year/month” and I was done. RewriteRule ^archive/([0-9]{4})_([0-9]{2}).html$ /index.php? The category names would have been easy except that Movable Type uses underscores and WordPress uses hyphens. $title = strtolower( "<$MTArchiveTitle$>" ); $title = preg_replace('/&.+?
