Clients From Hell

Client: “The site looks great, but I need you to do another one too.”

Me: “Umm, ok? What for.”

Client: “You know! You made the website on a Mac so you need to make another one on a PC for people who don’t use fancy computers like you.”

A funny yet scary blog of what is supposed to be true feedback from clients.

The worst part of this is: I can relate to some of it...

Spirited Away - drikin.com

I just started using it and I like it. It hides all the apps you are not currently using. You set how long it should 'wait' before hiding and you can exclude apps that shouldn't be hidden.

I like it! You should perhaps try it as well ?

Debugging your PHP Code: XDebug on MAMP with TextMate and MacGDBp Support | TechnoSophos

Just realized, when I set up a mac for dev, that I was missing the debugging stuff I had installed on another mac.

So here it is, for me to remember and you to find out.

My tip would be: forget about MAMP and go with MacPorts instead. There is something funky about MAMP that just makes me feel less in control. The blog post is still valid and worked perfectly: I was debugging my code in less than 3 minutes!

Oh... and check out abcde if you are using MacPorts.

Tweet = Twitter + Quicksilver

Jay wants to know how to post to Twitter from Quicksilver. I don't blame him.

I just can not believe that I haven't thought about this before: posting quick updates to twitter via Quicksilver. Sure: it doesn't count the characters for ya but if you know it will be a short tweet, why not?

I have one little tip for ya: if you do have more than one twitter account and you want to force Quicksilver to only use one, change this:


set twitter_key to first Internet key of current keychain whose server is "twitter.com"

to


set twitter_key to first Internet key of current keychain whose server is "twitter.com" and account is "your_account_login_name_here"

The blog post will tell you all you need to install, run and start tweeting through Quicksilver! And Twitter will also show that you used Quicksilver: plus one hacker karma points, right?

Netvibes Wasabi Edition

I've tested the beta-version of the next version of Netvibes and I like it. It's fast and the news reader is, to me, a good alternative to Google Reader. Google Reader is another beast all together, of course, but Netvibes is looking better and better.

Under the hood they are using Tokyo Tyrant: speed and disk space are the reasons. Regardless its working pretty good and I've yet to find any bugs at all. IE6 doesn't look like it is compatible but who uses that old fart anyway?

Porrsurfning på kommundatorer - Expressen

Underbart! 80% av bandbredden på kommunens datorer används till porr eller fildelning. Fildelningen förekommer mer på skolnätverken medan porren är lika distribuerat mellan skolor och kommunanställda.

Kan vi inte få en likadan jämförelse i 'maktens korridorer' också? Tänk att FRA måste vada igenom all den där 'äckliga' trafiken för att få tag på de riktiga skojjarna bland oss...

Sounds Good To Me - TrustedReviews

Sounds Good To Me

I knew this and I'm fairly confident that I might not be able to pass this test myself. Though I'm sure that with a good DAC it's harder to hear the differences.

Maybe Flac has been 'beta maxed'?

Storsäljarna bland ölen - VinVin.se

Kolla in den topplistan! Föga förvånande! Min favorit Nils Oscar finns visst inte med alls. Och ja: jag gillar nästan allt som Nils Oscar producerar till och med rökportern. Fast dock bara i begränsade mängder!
