I installed the Fedora 16 beta a few weeks back and was mostly pleasantly suprised at Beta things just worked. I've heard a few neg reviews regarding brain dead install failures namely install failing if you have a separate /var partition. But apart from that. Fedora...

Warning: Take all this with a grain of salt. Musing only here. PHP Nested Arrays - Scratch Scratch A potentially confusing thing, and the power in CakePHP is the frequent use of nested arrays. Because IANAP (I am not a programmer) it's taken some time to begin to...

Just downloaded and spun up Fedora 16 Beta I've been having heaps of trouble with my sound on this box. But the new Fedora 16 Beta fixes the sound issues. No more background hiss.

Trying to get PHP to return the file type of an xcf image and it stubbornly refused to return what I wanted. Still can't get it to output image/x-xcf but I'm starting to think the compiled in magic data base of PHP doesn't include it and I haven't successfully loaded...

They said "James we need someone to check a website and make sure everything is OK over the weekend". Hmm OK... I'd rather not be tied to a laptop or hang around home so why not send an email with a screenshot to my Android HTC Desire. Search, search, search: And then...
