Drupal files have .module and .install extensions. Eclipse PHP Development Toolkit (PDT) does not recognize those extensions as PHP files so you have to tweak couple of settings to make PDT be more helpful when you develop with Drupal. In Preferences - General - Editors- File Associations, associate *.module and *.install with PHP Editor. In...

So, apparently the main intention of Cisco, in regard with the controversy surrounding Apple\’s use of Cisco brand - iPhone, is not cash. According to Chandler, the SVP of Cisco they want interoperability in exchange. Interoperability in exchange of brand sharing? Wow. Have you ever even heard something like that? I think it says a...

“A boss isn’t paid more than a subordinate because he or she is better. A boss is paid more than a subordinate because the boss has greater responsibilities. One of those responsibilities is to stand up for people when it’s necessary and to shield them from things they shouldn’t have to deal with.” Fiorina, Carley,...

I hope everybody had a good Santa this year and if it was not what you haped - just remember, it can always be worse :) A little smile from the past to you, from me\

If you use Drupal you probably want to use the neat JSCalendar plugin, since it creates a nice date-picker for date fields. Unfortunately, the out-of-the-box version of it does not show datepicker icon in IE (it works just...

I was looking for a small, nice, light, PHP-based IMAP webmail, today. Open-source, of course. I have been using SquirrelMail for the past couple of years and it was doing a decent job, more or less. For some completely unknown reason it stopped functioning, last week, though. We could still check e-mail but Compose screen...

I was messing with some more sophisticated Drupal modules, today, on my Mac. Usually, I try to have minimalistic configuration of PHP on my computer to make sure whatever i write is fairly portable. The PHP4 installation that comes with OS X Tiger falls under such classification. So I had the default. But I had...

This appeared on my Google home-page this morning, when i tried to open it in IE: “Google recommends upgrading to the new, safer Firefox 2.0” Cheers, Google! Not bad, not bad, at all :)

Let\’s consider a relatively typical scenario: MySQL with clustering, Master instance and Slave instance. The master processes day-to-day operations and Slave is in standby to kick-in if something happens to the master. Let\’s now imagine a stormy, cold Monday that Master decided to die on.
