Nginx comes with a lot of modules. You can read all about them on the Nginx wiki. The syntax of the configuration files differs from Apache syntax, but up to now everything I need is possible. There are also a lot of nifty new features like an empty gif configuration. We can use this to serve an empty gif right from memory without having to. . .

From this moment until it is no longer needed, this webiste will warn IE6 users that they are using an outdated browser. I know, it's childish, just like many sites warned you (and some still do) that you need browser X to properly view the site, but we need to take a stand!

After starting KCachegrind for the first time I was shocked to see the huge ugly font it used. This font can be changed however. It took me a while to figure out where and how but here is the solution.

The base KDE configuration resides in: /opt/local/share/config. Take a look at the 'kdeglobals ' file to see the kde base settings. Your local settings are stored in /Users/yourname/.kde/share/config. Open up. . .

Coming from a Gentoo world to OSX, now and then I want to install some software that is not available pre-built for OSX. I like to use more recent Apache 2 for local testing and I also like to use Gimp and InkScape, so I use MacPorts to fetch and compile all the Open. . .

Recently I started using a great tool called Google Page Speed. After inspecting some of my pages I was amazed to learn that a the 'ratings' extension uses the prototype.js file just for the XmlHttpRequest. Prototype is not. . .

There is ancient code in TYPO3. It lives in 'sysext/cms/tslib/class.tslib_pagegen.php'. Here is the code that is included by default when you have not disabled all default JS code by setting 'config.removeDefaultJS' to 1.
