» Why Mediatemple?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by MikeP_.

I experienced ridiculous amounts of downtime with DreamHost and they just kept blowing it off and not admitting to anything.

I switched over to MediaTemple after hearing such great things about them, but then found they have a lot of bugs yet to work out with their gridserver and even have a limit to the amount of CPU cycles that you can be using. Their support is as weak as DreamHost, but at least my entire site doesn't go down for 10 hours at a time with no response.

9Rules formatting hates me...

replace '^^' with < or >

if ($handle = opendir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/files')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if (
$file != "." &&
$file != ".."
) {
$lastmodified = filemtime($file);
echo '^^a href="/files/'.$file.'/"^^'.$file.'^^/a^^'."\n";
}
}
}
?>

crap it didn't... hold on...

    if ($handle = opendir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/files')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    if (
    $file != "." &&
    $file != ".."
    ) {
    $lastmodified = filemtime($file);
    echo '

  • '."\n";
    }
    }
    }
    ?>

Let's see if this works...

    if ($handle = opendir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/files')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    if (
    $file != "." &&
    $file != ".."
    ) {
    $lastmodified = filemtime($file);
    echo '
  • '.$file.' '.'
  • '."\n";
    }
    }
    }
    ?>

They aren't worth paying for if you can get more comprehensive statistics via Google Analytics.

» Any thoughts on Flex?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by velcrow.

I was looking at Flex just yesterday and in all honesty, didn't see the point. Why pay $800+ for an application framework to build Flash web sites/applications when you've got free and open source technologies like PHP, MySQL and Javascript? This just seems like another overuse of Flash when it isn't necessary.

step 1: get a Mac.
step 2: buy Textmate :)

» What Mac Should I Get?  ...  Last Reply: 2 years ago by teddy.

I design at home on a 24" iMac, 500GB Hard Drive, 2GB RAM. I definitely recommend the RAM, along with Parallels to run Win XP for testing IE6/6.

At work I have a 20" iMac, doing the same work. If you can spend the extra bucks, get the 24", but fyi, I'm very comfortable on the 20" widescreen.

I've always had mixed feelings on needing portability. It would be nice to have, a luxury, but I know that I'd never really take the laptop anywhere.

And as for getting a Mac Pro? Don't even waste your time thinking about it unless you're going to be doing some very complex photo or video work. The speed boost won't get you much for standard design and web work. And upgradeability really isn't that big of an issue, since you could always get external hard drives and install more RAM on your own. The only thing you can't really help with the iMac is the graphics card and monitor (which is why I suggest getting the 24" if you can).

» What Is Your Favorite Ringtone?  ...  Last Reply: 2 years ago by paularms.

I use the original Mortal Kombat theme song. It's incredibly annoying. I used to use the Super Mario World theme though, also a good one.

you only get 30? I'm getting about 75-100 a day. luckily GMail's spam filters keep improving and I only see about 1 of those in my inbox per day.

What if my Home folder has 60GB of music, 20GB of photos and 10GB of data? I don't have a 90GB iPod!

» Quick list of SEO changes?  ...  Last Reply: 2 years ago by paularms.

Something I've been studying recently is about being as blunt and straight-forward in the copy as can be. An example I saw was that if people want to know about visually-impaired users and the internet, they aren't going to search for "visually-impaired" but rather "blind". Yeah, it isn't quite PC, but when you've got the majority of your potential audience searching for a different word, you're much less likely to get them to your site through a search.

I also feel like SEO and usability/accessibility all go hand-in-hand. Images need alt tags both for screen readers and for search engines, along with proper H-tag order, semantic markup, etc.

I've got to admit, the ads were kind of funny, but I don't think they really were able to show the PC users the benefits of a Mac... they just gave Mac users more laughs.

Ozone42: I guess it can depend on your server. Also I know one of the developers and he definitely admitted that you should turn off and uninstall all modules that you aren't using, as it can greatly improve performance.

» Photo Gallery Software Recommendations  ...  Last Reply: 9 months ago by RightOn.

I love Gallery 2, but be warned: it is feature rich meaning that it can do a lot of stuff that the average user definitely has no use for and also feels bloated and slow!

Nintendo DS Lite. It's great to be able to play a new Super Mario side-scroller!
