      <title>Word Clock v2</title>
      <description>I&#38;rsquo;ve seen a few nice-looking representations of clocks around, but when I saw &#60;a href=&#34;http://gumuz.nl/weblog/javascript-word-clock/&#34;&#62;Gumuz&#38;rsquo;s word clock&#60;/a&#62; I though I could make some improvements to it. Here&#38;rsquo;s a couple of the changes:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;ul&#62;&#60;li&#62;Rewrote using &#60;a href=&#34;http://mootools.net&#34;&#62;MooTools&#60;/a&#62; (only because I know it better, I&#38;rsquo;m currently developing in it, and it gave me a chance to play with Google&#38;rsquo;s JS API)&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Rewrote some of the JavaScript logic to be a bit tidier&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Replaced the letters with dots for an arguably prettier output&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Reordered the hours in the HTML so that &#38;ldquo;twelve o&#38;rsquo;clock&#38;rdquo; wouldn&#38;rsquo;t be missing the space (I had to combine &#60;em&#62;two&#60;/em&#62; and &#60;em&#62;one&#60;/em&#62; for this)&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Highlighted the &#60;em&#62;a&#60;/em&#62; in &#60;em&#62;half&#60;/em&#62; for quarter-past and quarter-to, as per &#60;a href=&#34;http://gumuz.nl/weblog/javascript-word-clock/#comment-18582925&#34;&#62;mattatwhoosh&#38;rsquo;s suggestion&#60;/a&#62;
&#60;/li&#62;&#60;/ul&#62;

The result is tested in IE (5.5&#38;ndash;8), Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I hit a slight issue in IE6&#38;#8722; (what a surprise) whereby it interprets &#60;code&#62;a.sec.lit&#60;/code&#62; as &#60;code&#62;a.lit&#60;/code&#62; (&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.interfacethis.com/misc/css-test/multiclass.html&#34;&#62;example&#60;/a&#62;); I got around it by making &#60;code&#62;sec&#60;/code&#62; an ID rather than a class (yes, I know it&#38;rsquo;s dirty).&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;

      <title>Mootools Hash.setFromPath</title>
      <description>&#60;a href=&#34;http://mootools.net/docs/more&#34;&#62;MooTools More&#60;/a&#62; implements a &#60;a href=&#34;http://mootools.net/docs/more/Native/Hash.Extras#Hash:getFromPath&#34;&#62;&#60;code&#62;getFromPath&#60;/code&#62; method in &#60;code&#62;Hash.Extras&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/a&#62;, but doesn&#38;rsquo;t provide a corresponding setter. Here&#38;rsquo;s an implementation:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;
&#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;Hash&#60;/span&#62;.&#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;implement&#60;/span&#62;({
    setFromPath: &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;function&#60;/span&#62;(path, value) {
        &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;var&#60;/span&#62; source = &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;this&#60;/span&#62;;
        &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;var&#60;/span&#62; prop = &#60;span class=&#34;string&#34;&#62;''&#60;/span&#62;;

        path.&#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;replace&#60;/span&#62;(&#60;span class=&#34;string&#34;&#62;/[([^]]+)]&#124;.([^.[]+)&#124;[^[.]+/g&#60;/span&#62;, &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;function&#60;/span&#62;(match) {
            &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;if&#60;/span&#62; (!source) &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;return&#60;/span&#62;;
            prop = arguments[2] &#124;&#124; arguments[1] &#124;&#124; arguments[0];

            &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;if&#60;/span&#62; (!(prop &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;in&#60;/span&#62; source)) source[prop] = {};
            lastSource = source;
            source = source[prop];
            &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;return&#60;/span&#62; match;
        });

        lastSource[prop] = value;
        &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;return this&#60;/span&#62;;
    }
});&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;ins datetime=&#34;2009-11-08T22:49:04+00:00&#34;&#62;Just to explain the &#60;code&#62;lastSource&#60;/code&#62; part, it&#38;rsquo;s a fudge to maintain object references throughout.&#60;/ins&#62;</description>

      <title>Spacing out CamelCase in PHP</title>
      <description>Here&#38;rsquo;s a nifty function to put spaces in your CamelCased words:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;

        &#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;ucfirst&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;(&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;$camel&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;), -&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;1&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;, &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;&#124; &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;), &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;2&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;))),&#60;/span&#62; &#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;1&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;);&#60;/span&#62;
&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;}&#60;/span&#62;

&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;echo&#60;/span&#62; &#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;spacify&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;(&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;string&#34;&#62;'CamelCaseWords'&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;); &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;comment&#34;&#62;// 'Camel Case Words'&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;ins datetime=&#34;2009-05-27T12:12:17+01:00&#34;&#62;I added in the &#60;code&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;$glue&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/code&#62; parameter to be even more nifty, but a bit of thinking made it clear that it wouldn&#38;rsquo;t work when the first letter was lower-case. Should be fine now!&#60;/ins&#62;</description>

      <title>Get a Grid for Transparent Images in Firefox</title>
      <description>Here&#38;rsquo;s a useful bit of &#60;a href=&#34;http://getfirefox.com/&#34;&#62;Firefox&#60;/a&#62; hackery for you all. It puts a checkerboard (or chequerboard, for you elitists) image as the background for your transparent images. It works for any image when viewed directly in Firefox, by checking for a HTML page containing a single &#60;code&#62;img&#60;/code&#62; tag. If you reproduce this structure manually, then you&#38;rsquo;ll see the checkerboard, but there&#38;rsquo;s very little chance that a legitimate HTML page would match these selectors. It works by adding some content to your &#60;code&#62;userContent.css&#60;/code&#62;:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;ol style=&#34;list-style-type: decimal;&#34;&#62;&#60;li&#62;Lifehacker has a &#60;a href=&#34;http://lifehacker.com/software/firefox/customize-firefox-with-userchromecss-197715.php&#34;&#62;guide&#60;/a&#62; to finding your &#60;code&#62;userChrome.css&#60;/code&#62; file &#38;mdash; your &#60;code&#62;userContent.css&#60;/code&#62; resides in the same folder.&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;You may not have a &#60;code&#62;userContent.css&#60;/code&#62; file; if not, you should create it. In some instances you may have a &#60;code&#62;userContent-example.css&#60;/code&#62; file, which you can rename to get the idea of what goes in this file.&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Open the file and insert the following CSS:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;
&#60;span class=&#34;comment&#34;&#62;/*
 * Image from &#60;a href=&#34;http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Checker-16x16.png?oldid=19631383&#34;&#62;http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Checker-16x16.png?oldid=19631383&#60;/a&#62;
 */&#60;/span&#62;
&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;html&#60;/span&#62; &#38;gt; &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;body&#60;/span&#62; &#38;gt; &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;img&#60;/span&#62;:&#60;span class=&#34;tag&#34;&#62;only-child&#60;/span&#62; {
	&#60;span class=&#34;attr&#34;&#62;background:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;url&#60;/span&#62;(&#60;span class=&#34;string&#34;&#62;'http://starsquare.co.uk/images/checkerboard'&#60;/span&#62;) &#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;repeat&#60;/span&#62;;
}

&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;html&#60;/span&#62; &#38;gt; &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;body&#60;/span&#62; &#38;gt; &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;img&#60;/span&#62;:&#60;span class=&#34;tag&#34;&#62;only-child&#60;/span&#62;:&#60;span class=&#34;tag&#34;&#62;hover&#60;/span&#62; {
	&#60;span class=&#34;attr&#34;&#62;background:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;none&#60;/span&#62;;
}&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
With the above CSS, viewing an image directly displays the checkerboard at all times, unless you hover over the image, in which case it reverts back to show the normal image. If you want it the other way round, so the checkerboard only shows when you hover over the image, insert the following CSS:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;
&#60;span class=&#34;comment&#34;&#62;/*
 * Image from &#60;a href=&#34;http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Checker-16x16.png?oldid=19631383&#34;&#62;http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Checker-16x16.png?oldid=19631383&#60;/a&#62;
 */&#60;/span&#62;
&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;html&#60;/span&#62; &#38;gt; &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;body&#60;/span&#62; &#38;gt; &#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;img&#60;/span&#62;:&#60;span class=&#34;tag&#34;&#62;only-child&#60;/span&#62;:&#60;span class=&#34;tag&#34;&#62;hover&#60;/span&#62; {
	&#60;span class=&#34;attr&#34;&#62;background:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;url&#60;/span&#62;(&#60;span class=&#34;string&#34;&#62;'http://starsquare.co.uk/images/checkerboard'&#60;/span&#62;) &#60;span class=&#34;default&#34;&#62;repeat&#60;/span&#62;;
}&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Save the file. If you had Firefox open, you should restart your browser. If not, simply start it up.&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Find an image that contains transparency and open it in your browser; a good example is &#60;a href=&#34;http://starsquare.co.uk/images/transparent&#34;&#62;this image&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Pretend you&#38;rsquo;re in your favourite image editor!&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;/ol&#62;

&#60;ins datetime=&#34;2009-02-18T11:29:51+00:00&#34;&#62;I removed the &#60;code&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;keyword&#34;&#62;body&#60;/span&#62;:&#60;span class=&#34;tag&#34;&#62;only-child&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/code&#62; selector, since nightly builds of Minefield include a &#60;code&#62;head&#60;/code&#62; tag to specify the page title.&#60;/ins&#62;</description>

      <description>I was never a big fan of Dell, mainly because it really annoyed me that they only shipped Windows with their machines. Reading &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-File-Secret-against-Gates/dp/0812927168&#34;&#62;&#60;em&#62;The Microsoft File&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/a&#62; made it clearer, if no more acceptable; Microsoft bullied retailers to shipping tied processor&#38;ndash;product bundles, effectively forcing other operating systems out of the market.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
Dell redeemed themselves in my eyes when they &#60;a href=&#34;http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/05/01/13147.aspx&#34;&#62;announced that they would be offering Linux as an alternative&#60;/a&#62;, but it seems that&#38;rsquo;s not the &#60;a href=&#34;http://rudd-o.com/archives/2007/07/11/dell-paying-lip-service-only-to-linux/&#34;&#62;whole story&#60;/a&#62;. To summarise the summary, it would appear that every time Dell offers some kind of alternative to Windows, there&#38;rsquo;s always something that means the Windows users get preferential treatment over everyone else&#38;hellip; Now that doesn&#38;rsquo;t seem fair, does it?</description>

      <title>Samba and Vista</title>
      <description>Vista&#38;rsquo;s lock-down strikes again&#38;hellip;&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
In short, we have &#60;a href=&#34;http://samba.org&#34;&#62;Samba&#60;/a&#62; v2.2.7a running here, and a new machine was just added running Vista, for some reason. It wouldn&#38;rsquo;t connect to our Samba shares, where my XP box had managed absolutely fine. The culprit? Vista&#38;rsquo;s security policies. Finally we found &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.builderau.com.au/blogs/codemonkeybusiness/viewblogpost.htm?p=339270746&#34;&#62;the fix&#60;/a&#62;:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;ol style=&#34;list-style-type: decimal;&#34;&#62;&#60;li&#62;Open the Run command and type &#38;ldquo;&#60;kbd&#62;secpol.msc&#60;/kbd&#62;&#38;rdquo;. Finding the &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vista/vista_run_command.htm&#34;&#62;Run command&#60;/a&#62; in Vista is fun in itself; we just used &#60;span class=&#34;key&#34;&#62;&#60;img alt=&#34;Windows Key&#34; title=&#34;Windows Key&#34; src=&#34;http://cmbuckley.co.uk/graphics/winkey.png&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62; + &#60;span class=&#34;key&#34;&#62;R&#60;/span&#62;.&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;In the security policies dialogue, navigate to &#38;ldquo;&#60;code&#62;Local Policies/Security Options&#60;/code&#62;&#38;rdquo;.&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Open the policy &#38;ldquo;Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level&#38;rdquo;.&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Change the option to &#38;ldquo;LM and NTLM &#38;mdash; use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated&#38;rdquo;. Pre-3.0 Samba doesn&#38;rsquo;t support NTLMv2, hence the change from the default refusal.&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;/ol&#62;

Then, cry because you&#38;rsquo;ve &#38;ldquo;updated&#38;rdquo; to your shiny new operating system and you now have to search Google for &#38;ldquo;getting &#60;span class=&#34;maths&#34;&#62;x&#60;/span&#62; to work in Vista&#38;rdquo; every time you want to install an application&#38;hellip;</description>
