Feature Friday – Rarst.net – PDF Creator

Whenever you need to make sure that something is going to look the same cross-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac) your best is always PDF’s. Most computers come with Adobe Reader or some equivalent to handle PDF files, and even gMail has incorporated its own online PDF reader.

A Default Config.php For All Your Projects

Wheneve rI start on a php project, I include the latest version of my config.php file from my Snippets section. This file contains my most commonly used functions and serve as the base from which I build whatever website/application I am working on. Instead of re-writing my config files differently for each application, I have [...]

mod_url without mod_url?

I know the title seems to make no sense but bear with me a minute. mod_url is an extension for the apache server that allows you to specify automatic routes for urls. So someone going to http://wheremy.feethavebeen.com/xangelo would see their profile page instead of going to http://wheremy.feethavebeen.com/profile?=xangelo It’s just a pretty way of formatting URLs.

Single Toolbar Interface for Firefox

This is a video tutorial that I did a long time ago for one of the earlier versions of FHB that went by the name Xangelo (which is my online identity). It covers some handy features like customizing the Firefox interface and keyword shortcuts for search engines.

Since I work on a laptop primarily, screen space [...]

Must Have Apps

I just did a fresh install of Windows 7, legitimately gotten through MSDNAA, and so I decided to write up a list of applications that I don’t think a windows user should be without.
Browser

To me, you have two real choices here. Either Firefox or Chrome. Chrome doesn’t support extensions that I require so Firefox is [...]
