So I tried my very first photoshop touch up of a girl I found online. Turns out she was used for a photoshop tutorial about the same concept. I used my own process however.
The other day I ran into this problem where postfix insisted on delivering mail… as it was supposed to do! As it was configured! But this isn’t what I wanted. Let me explain what was happening:
In my Javascript Error Handler post, I discussed how I track user and client side errors. Recently, my error logs became inundated with tons of javascript errors. The function _popupControl() is undefined. After a little googling, I found out that the CA Personal Firewall is responsible for inserting the following code into every page:
A while ago, I saw a website that provided a javascript error reporting service. You implemented some code and then they would send you reports on javascript errors on your site.

A while ago, I was reading a usability book - and the author suggested that every time you create your content, remove half of the words. Then remove half of them again. So, by the time you’re done, you really have 1/4th of your content - and it should still make sense.
A friend of mine posed a question: Do you know of any good PHP based vulnerability scanners? I told him I did not (add any in the comments, if you know! :) ) - but it wouldn’t be that hard to build one. He asked me to give him a code example, so here goes:
Every once in a while, I forget about the built in awesomeness of MySQL. Today, I was looking at a unix timestamp from PHP in one of the fields and was wondering what that date was. Derr, use from_unixtime function!
A lot of the time I give quotes including taxes. Every once in a while, someone is curious about what the tax is on a service.
