Convert Mac Icon File into Useable Web Graphic

September 25, 2008

With all these fancy-free Mac Icons you can download, why not spice up your web applications and use them online?
The problem is that the Icon files can’t be opened by Photoshop (there might be a plug-in I’m unaware of that does this). So we need a way of importing the graphic into Photoshop.
Luckily you can [...]

Singletons in PHP4

September 25, 2008

Not everybody is developing on PHP5 these days, even though PHP4 is no longer supported *yikes!*
And these people (namely me) need a way to implement the Singleton pattern.

Can’t delete mail in Mail

February 7, 2008

This damn near drove me insane for a few months. However I never looked for a solution, never read the manual (who does?) and never asked anyone. I just silently stared at my email that couldn’t be deleted…

VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence

February 7, 2008

This is the warning I was getting:

[warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 443,
the first has precedence

Go here for the solution to virtualhost overlap on port 80, it’s almost exactly the same.
And, this is how to fix the warning:
Add this line of code to your configuration file (usually httpd.conf or httpd-vhosts.conf)

Often finding out about what’s happening in Christchurch is as annoying as having the gas run out mid-bbq, it’s not pretty and you’re often surrounded by a bunch of drunken hungry people… actually that pretty much sums up the Christchurch town scene when there are no good gigs to goto.

Speed up Zend Studio

July 2, 2007

I used to be in the category of “Zend Studio runs sweet, what are you all complaining about?” but after upgrading to Zend Studio 5.5 I sadly found myself in the “I just want to code, why are you running so slow!?” category.
Here’s how I managed to speed things up

Clear DNS cache on your Mac in Terminal

July 2, 2007

I know this is posted all over the Internet, but I keep forgetting it and someone may find it useful if they can’t find it anywhere else. It basically flushes your dns cache so your computer is forced to request the name server information afresh the next time you make a request to any URL.
