dirsort: Directory sorter

This one is a grown up version of epi_sort.py, a simple script I wrote a while ago to help me sort a huge bunch of media files I had laying around.

But it is not omnipotent. Leave that to Q. I stumbled upon this funny answer from back in 2005 and I had to share it. That guy is a genius! ;-) I’m curious how I can make Python print text in color. That depends strictly on your printer. With my hp LaserJet 1200, no way [...]

A couple of days ago Cherokee’s family incorporated a Polish Cherokee Community as new member! And they took a huge leap forward by creating Cherokee Polska, [...]

New day, new release: Cherokee 0.10

We’ve been really busy lately. After my adventures in Venezuela at the Infociencias and the Open Source World Conference 2008 in Málaga -I know, I know… I still have to talk about that and post some photos, but the days are not long enough!-, we’ve finally made the time to polish some last details.

Cherokee Quickstart

Many users have told us that they would love to have some more documentation about Cherokee. One of the tasks before relasing 0.8 (which is almost ready by now) is documenting. Yesterday I wrote a small tutorial that will be part of the documentation. It is a simple walkthrough to set up a couple of [...]

Cherokee on Windows: improving the building environment

As it was anounced some time ago, Cherokee 0.8 will once again have a native Windows binary. We’ve been having a lot of requests because our Windows users haven’t had the chance to taste Cherokee-Admin since it was born. Beware that the Windows build has to be taken with a grain of salt under Windows. [...]
