Things every boonex webmaster should have (humor)

mauricecano posted 9th of March 2010 in Community Voice. 11 comments.

I was viewing some screens today from other Boonex webmasters and I realized that all of us share the same tools. So here's my list of things needed to properly install/modify/check/test/break Dolphin

1. Dreamweaver/PHP editing software

2. Cpanel Window Open

3. phpmyadmin Open

4. 3 different browser programs (IE, FF, SF) opened to our site

5. FTP Program

6. Possible Telnet

7. At many times, some sort of paint program

8. Firebug

What else do you guys use that I left off the list (maybe we can compile an unofficial necessity list)

Text editor. Editplus or Notepad++

I also use grepWin for finding things in files with regex search pattern support.

Phone # to my professional help. So many recommended it I added them to the speed dial. Amazingly they tell me to come in here and find lost souls to "help" as therapy... Is it working?

Sweet Tea (or Alcoholic Beverage - depending on my mood)
Plenty of hard drive space (for backups/mods)
Test site to break first
Something to hit that won't break my hand
Something my wife can do so she will not get mad at me for spending too much time on the computer

When I develop, I have Notepad++ (generally two to five sessions and 10-30 files each open) depending on whether it's framework or modules on the roll. When it's templates, it's Photoshop, and when it's Flash time, it's Flash obviously. When phase beta is done and dusted, I have FF, IE, Chrome, Opera, Safari on for obvious reasons, and depending on how the stars are aligned, IE7 on for a bit more or not. When it's time to do on-site tests, it's Filezilla + cPanel (or whatever the panel there be) see more

LightWolf, is that your standard setup? =D

Sounds to me more like the gear you need when you start checking at the end of the day that your site actually also works on Internet Explorer... I have had a "Living by Zen" floating along in my bag for months now... Waiting to crack open a new translation of "Tibetan Book of the Dead" I bought (well one of the 150 we shipped home) on my previous visit to Varanasi.

And on that note, lots of liquid. I can easily gulp down three see more

1 ExpanDrive (It allows you to mount a remote linux drive/directory as a windows drive, and will tunnel through SSH to do it! Using this program, I can work on the remote server as if the files were on my local machine. However, it does require a broadband connection, and an SSH account on the server.)
2 Navicat for MySQL (Again, it tunnels through SSH and allows you to access/backup the MySQL database directly without having to install phpMyAdmin, or open up any ports through the firewall other see more
