By: Logan Ingalls Let me explain. Sometime ago I was around some kids and picked up a good business lesson. There were some new kids trying to make friends in a crowd. The kids that said hi and found similar traits connected well and hung out for a log time. Kids that formed bonds via sharing treats like cookies didn’t ...

You can’t run Silex apps directly on Dreamhost yet. After a bit of digging around I came up with this.You need to create a file ~/.php/5.3/phprc in your home directory, not under the website directory and put these lines in there. extension=phar.so detect_unicode = Off phar.readonly = Off phar.require_hash = Off suhosin.executor.include.whitelist = phar Its not immediate, but in about ...
Sri Lanka is a great place for used stuff. Cars and phones are in the top bracket here. But these days there is a problem selling. Although there is a demand once you sell you can’t afford to buy the next best thing.The rupee is falling and businesses are not spending as much.So that means my hosting fees are going up and it’s getting harder to get paid.
I’m trying to catch up with this social open source moment. I forked an existing CodeIgniter Twig integration library and added some changes to work with CodeIgniter 2.x.Also I found a way map any CodeIgniter function to Twig like so.$this->load->library('twig'); // load the Twig library $this->load->helper('url'); // load the CodeIgniter URL helper // map the base_url() function as a Twig ...
This might be some weeks away. My iPhone 4 is practically a paper weight until then. Even with iOS 6 I’m not sure the no service issue will get fixed.Meanwhile I bought a HTC Wildfire S. Its a mid range Android device that hopefully doesn’t give me too much trouble.
Time Machine filled up my external drive after about 10 months of use. Its nice to know you can go all that way back but I needed some space for my other files.I found a way to delete old backups but I had to do it one at a time. Not very magical is it?My solution was to just start ...
I like the Aptana PHP formatter. Its the only one that works well for me. I used to my one liner tags messed up a lot like this. <?php echo $content ?> What I noticed was that the ones with the semi-colons in place didn’t break to a new line. <?php echo $content;?> Now the auto-formatter (Keyboard shortcut to Command + Shift + F on the Mac) keeps things in the same line.
You can never have enough RAM. I was happy for about an year with 4GB but now things are crawling to a snails pace. I’ve cleaned up a bit but this screen is just with Chrome and Sparrow running. I haven’t started working yet!The max on this Mac is 8GB, I’m guessing that’s relatively cheap these days. Lets see.Site note: Figure out what that Java process is …
Captured by Shutter I was browsing around Launchpad looking for stuff coming up in the new Ubuntu 11.04 and found Shutter.Shutter is a feature-rich screenshot program. You can take a screenshot of a specific area, window, your whol
I’ve been hit with a “No Service” issue on my iPhone 4. I’ve been trying all sorts of fixes in the last few weeks.I think my troubles began when I upgraded to iOS 5.1.1. Although there are ways to revert back I hadn’t kept a snapshot of the OS at 5.0.xYou have no idea how frustrating this is. First I ...

But these days things have got a bit overwhelming.There are so many bits of information to consume that its turning into TV. Remember that relic? They are trying to make it interactive but its TV.TV has run ...
By: Ramunas Geciauskas Going through my messy blog posts for the last 5 years I realised that I need to become a better writer. Although it’s not my current job to write well, I think it needs to be better so I can improve my life. All this time I thought this was a coder’s blog, one that shows I’m ...
There is something about the end of the year that makes you write profound and life altering statements and make new year resolutions. This one is about cutting down, deleting and clearing up. I have written about this 4 years ago so I guess its an ongoing process. Most people have realised that they deal with just too many things in the ...
I’m getting old. I can’t read small text without getting annoyed. Here are a few good sites I enjoy visiting because they are easy to read and look great.One thing well is a great readable site that shares mostly single purpose applications & tools.coderwall is a new social developer kind of site. Looks great gives you badges for sharing code ...
The A6 from Kurunegala to Dambulla is not so great. There are trains of 5 ton sand trucks (I’m guessing) going to Trinco or Jaffna and back. I like Dambulla but I seriously didn’t enjoy driving up and down on this stretch.
AppCleaner is one of those apps you never delete. It helps you clean up other apps. Its pretty good at what it does. It usually goes in and finds the app’s downloaded installer as well as residual property files.The only thing I’ve noticed is that if you select more than 1 app to delete it’ll get a bit confused and ...

My menu bar was getting crowded. So I went in and disabled almost everything I could find. And now it looks like this. I found a solution to hide the DropBox icon as well, but I figured I can live with these for now.
