Things are happening
I’ve gotten bugzilla installed. For the most part painless. The guys at dreamhost were nice enough to install a module for me. I tried myself but the cpan wrapper script, and just straight up make were getting killed. I think it was the memory/cpu cop. If anyone wants to install bugzilla at dreamhost the directions found on the dreamhost wiki are spot on. I’ve written a script that takes care of modifying the files they talk about and changing the permissions. If anyone wants it I’m happy to hand it over. I figure it makes upgrading less of a pain.
I’ve gotten the site to the point where a user can log in, and create recipes, search what recipes belong to them as well as everyone else. What a recipe is needs to get a little more fleshed out (adding fields). Due to family running around and merriment ( everyone should go to an Indian / Moroccan wedding at least once, way fun) I didn’t get as far as I’d have liked. Once I get the recipe fleshed out a bit I’ll post it to alpha.brewmanger.com (there will be an announcement when this happens, few days yet I suspect as work will be busy this week) and folks can start playing with it. At that point the site will be useful for storing recipes, but not much else.
After the recipe stuff is up I’ll tackle inventory as that seems to be the next logical step, and then the can I make this / what can I make with what I have functionality.
I’ve also had a friend volunteer to help with site design and the visual stuff. I’m pretty pumped because that isn’t my strong suit. The hope is that he can more or less draw me a picture and I can make it look like that. We will see how that goes depending on how his avaliablity is. The first thing I put up won’t have much beyond basic navigation and total page refreshes, substance over style
