The Devel module includes the super helpful Krumo library. I use dsm() and krumo() all the time. If you are not familiar with Devel, you should try it. Morten Wulff wrote a demo page for the module.

If you are moving an iTunes library to a new mac it will go smooth if the user login is the same. So if I move my iTunes library from an old machine where it was located in /Users/ckj/iTunes to a new machine where it is gonna go in /Users/ckj/iTunes - I have no problems. But if I changed to another username on the new machine - all the paths in the iTunes Library.xml file will not be correct anymore. I have moved libraries so many times now and I thought I would share a really quick way to fix the iTunes Library.xml file to reflect the correct user directory.

My beloved 3years old Macbook Pro was starting to get really hot when I used it. It had gotten to the point where I would burn my legs if it was on my lap, and since having your laptop on the lap is kinda the point, I felt had to do something about it.

I bought a Logitech Notebook Cooling Pad that actually is very comfortable and does exactly as it says it will, but I was still curious to see if I could get my old healthy Macbook back.

I am doing some integration with facebook these days. I don't use facebook much and I certainly no not want all kinds of test data on my profile so I made a test profile using names that just came to mind :-P

On the facebook developer pages there is a demonstration of the like button. That you can like... Gotta love the meta!

I updated this website to D7 this weekend. Mikkel upgraded his site and urges others to do so now, so I thought I'd give it a shot too. And it was good fun! OK, granted, this site is 4 posts and pretty much nothing else, but that makes it a perfect time to upgrade.

I have a lot of pet peeves when it comes to programming, databases, web content, food, beer, and, well just about everyting. I am thinking of making a series of pet peeves here on this site. Some will seem like plain rants, and others will be more like tips.

The backup and migrate module is truly sweet. We all know that it is a *really* good idea to back up data. But if you are like me - you forgot to do it or just don't do it for some lame reason. So backups should be automated. The backup and migrate module does exactly that - it can be configured to run every X hours if you have cron (and you should have) running on your site.

If one goes to somedrupalsite.com/CHANGELOG.txt - it is normally possible to read the file and see what version of Drupal the site is running. If you don't want everybody to see what version you are running, it is a good idea to cloak the *.txt files in the Drupal install.
