Rudimentary Art of Programming & Development

I kept forgetting on how to do it.

This is a reminder for myself, and hopefully can be useful for readers.

This one is talking about PC is preparing against virus and spyware.

This one is talking about PC keep being sick because of viruses and advice that Mac should also be careful.

This one is talking about how PC can also do fun stuff such as preparing pie chart.

I didn’t really get this one

is pretty much neutered. It doesn’t have a lot of extensions that I need such as: curl, mysql (this is the big one), pdo, etc, etc…

Update: It seems like I did not went through a clean-wiped-out install when installing Leopard. Many of my old development tool directories stayed the same, but some are different. PHP happens to be one of the few that’s different.

That sucks… O well, all I have to do is rebuild PHP 5.2.4/5.2.5 from source (+ all the extensions that I want) right?

WRONG!!! Big Fat Wrong!

I cannot even do:

./configure -–with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

After that I got this console message:

configure: error: -–with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql: invalid option; use –help to show usage

Huh? Why? WTF?

There are plenty of people complaining about the exact same problem, but no one seemed to have the answers.

Can anyone help me? Can anyone points me to the working PHP 5.2.4/5.2.5 source?

Please…

is driving me crazy.

It was perfect on Tiger, why change it into some faux 3D translucent table?

I thought minimalist style is the dogma on OS X styling.

But anyway, these are reasons why I hate the “new” Dock:

• When magnification is “on”, the Dock becomes ridiculously crowded and noisy. Even when being busy programming, I cannot help but to notice how horrendous the Dock is.
• What’s the point on having reflection on the icon? It’s not like the shadow is accurate.

Anyway, this is how you can make the Dock “2D”:

prompt> defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
prompt> killall Dock
