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. I recently suffered some major data loss on an external hard drive full of videos. After recovering most of the contents, the directory structure [...]

As every Joe Six-pack would do, I usually write a lot of scripts to automate my tasks as much as I can. Most of them aren’t even worth mentioning, but nevertheless I have been meaning to start posting some of those. I’ve stumbled upon lots of jewels on the net that seemed worthless to their [...]

It has been a while since my last post. Some rough month this has been, oh boy. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that we have released the new and improved Cherokee a couple of days ago. Since the project has advanced so much over the last months, we have decided to boost the [...]

Yesterday we reached yet another milestone in Cherokee’s development towards World Domination. After almost a month of hard work, our newest creation hit the streets. The official anouncement hasn’t even been made yet, but Cherokee 0.11.1 is out in the wild. Besides our regular bug fixes and performance enhancements, it is shipped with some new [...]

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 [...]

I posted a note about this at Cherokee’s main site, but I totally forgot to tell you over here. My bad. However, it’s never late to share good news. 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, [...]

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. Today, [...]

The day has finally arrived. After a lot of hard work, we are finally releasing 0.8. It has improved quite a lot in this time. It is faster, much more stable and has been thoroughly tested and documented, at last! Unfortunately not everything are good news. After putting in a lot of effort fixing the [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
