7 Dec 2005It’s been a little while since I published something, so I’ll make something live. I tend to forgett about a silly quirk in internet explorer that I continually bump into, which generally takes me time to figure out why page does not load… Usually this is when downloading documents and is a very simple fix […]

Method Description Get Retrieves a value for a named property from the object. GetDataPaths Retrieves the paths to all locations of a metabase property subordinate to a specified starting path. GetEx Retrieves a value or values for […]

14 Mar 2005Firstly, PHP has very little dependencies. It does not need any files copied to the system root as many installation instructions state (with the exception of certain PHP extensions). PHP from the command line. Usage: PHP [options] [-f] <file>[–][args…] PHP [options] -r <code> [–] [args…] PHP [options[ [-B <begin_code>] -R <code>[-E <end_code>] [–] [args…] PHP […]

It was pretty impressive what all the teams managed to achieve, with four teams of two developers and a designer. It was set out in a competition style event […]

Files are transferred from slack after preinstall as such transferring any files that conflict with the packages configuration files, apt-get will prompt regardless of DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive. Not ideal if your trying to […]
A little while ago, I did an internal presentation on selenium at Everlution. I’ve put this on slideshare, which can be found here. The key problem to entry is simply getting people to record the actions and the issues they are reporting. I often find trying to reproduce the problem on complex software can take […]
