I am going to show you how to install Sublime Text 2 on Ubuntu 12.X. To get started, head over to www.sublimetext.com and download the latest version. Then open terminal and navigate to the directory you downloaded Sublime Text to and run the following.

Extract the compressed file:

tar xvf Sublime\ Text\ 2.0.1\ x64.tar.bz2

Move the extracted directory to /usr/lib/

sudo mv Sublime\ Text\ 2 /usr/lib/

Create a symbolic link from the Sublime Text executable to /usr/bin/

This year I was met with the challenge of developing an entirely new administration intranet site for my team at Adknowledge. This new site was going to be built in PHP using the Zend Framework and we were going to be using Git to manage our source control. I wanted to make sure that as new team members began developing new features for the site, that they had a simple and reliable way to deploy the site to our servers. With this in mind, I decided to set out to build a deployment process using Git tags and a Bash script.

Back in November, Amazon made their cloud computing platform available for free for one year to new users. For someone like myself who loves to tinker with technology, this is great news. In this post, I am going to outline the benefits of the Amazon Web Services platform (or AWS) and then run through setting up your first EC2 Instance.
