With this package you can play with new MySQL releases without needing to use other computers. It will install one node under your home directory, and it will provide some useful commands to start, use and stop this sandbox. This package is a sandbox for testing features under any version of MySQL from 3.23 to 8.0 (and any version of MariaDB.) In the near future, this project will be supported only with bug fixes, but the development of new feature and the support for newer versions of MySQL will only continue in dbdeployer. It can already support almost all MySQL-Sandbox features, plus a few new ones. This project is replaced by dbdeployer, which is now GA. MySQL::Sandbox - Quickly installs one or more MySQL servers (or forks) in the same host, either standalone or in groups SYNOPSIS make_sandbox /path/to/ Creating a sandbox from already installed binaries.Adobe had to mature Muse to the point where it was useful for simple websites, not just web sites that are simply gimmicky.īut Adobe Muse has somewhat restored my faith in the fact that one day, maybe Sir Tim Berners-Lee's original vision of simplicity is restored. Truth be told it was rediscovered because it has been out for a while but there were two bridges I had to cross: 1) I had to come to terms with Adobe's subscription model which I hate, but needs is as needs must, and 2) I had to have sufficient time to learn Adobe Muse. Well, just when I thought I would be with Sandvox until HTML freezes over, I discovered Adobe Muse. True, there are some things that Sandvox cannot do (tables being the main one), and there really isn't a user manual for it (but there's lots of help files). True, that day included learning Sandvox and diddling with a little bit of CSS and HTML - it seems that a web site just has to be a cacophony of languages. Not only did I create the first version of this website in just a day but it has a built in blog function. And it damn near overkilled us.Ĭlearly Joomla! and Drupal were not the ways to go.Īnd then I discovered Sandvox. Furthermore, the CSS required to make even a simple web page work was overkill. Nor can you use a single instance of Joomla! to create multiple web sites. There was no apparent way to handle a development and live version of the web site without complex procedures. And this is just to create a minimalist web site!Īnd you cannot even just move the web site from one server to another - you have to hassle with both the data files and the SQL database and perform a multi-step ritual to move the web site around. But dudes, really! To use it you have to learn Joomla! (no surprise there), but then you also have to know CSS, HTML, PHP, JavaScript, Apache, some GoDaddy rituals, and, oh, yeah, mySQL. I'm sure it has its followers, its devotees, its gurus, and its cognoscenti. Massively overdesigned for the task at hand. Complex web sites need complex design tools, but.whoof. And we concluded that it was massively overcomplicated, arcane, and fit only for those in the priesthood who wanted to devote their lives to it. My colleague and I, with a total of over 80 years of systems programming experience between us, had a close look at Drupal. I've just spent several weeks and several hundred dollars of consulting fees, flogging a dead horse in order to create a simple, elegantly designed web site.įirst we tried Drupal. I just happened to find it on the Internet in a place that suggested it was not copyrighted and it seemed to convey the appropriate sentiment to what might be wrong with the world of technology. I have absolutely no idea what the back story is for this image. Blogging a Dead Horse Andy Johnson-Laird Sunday December 9, 2013
