    PHP beginner

    I gotta go with BBEdit... It works out well... xCode is a bit of an overkill to load for just PHP scripting. I haven't tried VIM.

    Question: Passing PHP variables via "include()"

    Or you can just assign the variable values like this $my_var = "this is my Value"; include("my/include/file.php"); The variables will be passed to whatever file you include. So you can apply logic to them on the included page. Unless I'm missing something?

    Excel and Word take ages to load

    The other thing I just thought of regarding this issue... would be font related... If you've installed new fonts in your user's font folder (/users/yourname/library/fonts) I would suggest removing them and seeing if that helps. That is one of the things the program is doing at startup. So...

    We will be using TextEdit, to do just that... but I'm also looking for something that will open Excel and powerpoint documents.

    Excel and Word take ages to load

    Another thing to try -- if that doesn't work is to create a new user and try to launch the app... what that will tell you is if the problem exists within your user folder, or if it's something occurring outside of your user's folder. I usually have a "test" account that I can toggle to for...

    Panther Problems on Powerbook

    Ouch... if opening the file with root solved the problem... wouldn't that be a permissions problem? And just some explanation: The software update won't automatically show you all the installs you need for one very important reason. Updates are dependent on what's currently installed on the...

    Upgrading to Panther question

    This becomes more of an issue when dealing with a powerbook. My powerbook as 512MB and that RAM is very expensive. I have no plans on upgrading the memory on that machine, luckily Panther runs fine on it. I did see a speed increase with the installation of Panther (from Jaguar)... but I...

    How the iPod Changed My Life

    I think you'll first be impressed by the size... I have a 30 gig and it still amazes me that it's as small as it is. But then you'll actually get to using it and I think you'll soon find yourself posting the ways in which it changed your life. :)

    I have to vent... MS Word 98

    I often imagine the meeting that must have taken place when someone was pitching this idea to their boss... then that boss to his/her boss then finally making its way up to the senior staff meeting with Bill. It might have gone something like this... "... so remember how we had that...

    Apple to buy Sony? or Sony to buy apple?

    I don't think people understand just how huge Sony is... they are much larger then Apple... so it is unlikely that Apple would be able to buy Sony out. I could understand why Sony would like to buy Apple out, they are the only other "designer" computer company posing a problem for Sony...

    Open Office Install for Dummies

    My install of OO was pretty easy. My only problem was the lack of documentation telling me how to launch it... I didn't know until now, I needed a script to do so... So I'll try that out. As far as alternates solutions to Office... I'm up for anything... however, I cannot go back to my bosses...

    How the iPod Changed My Life

    I agree completely... my iPod has changed my life too... I never thought I'd be "one of those people" to say some thing could change their life... that statement seemed so trite to me for some reason. But there is something about being able to have music with you everywhere you go, literally...

    I have to vent... MS Word 98

    Yeah I was feeling sorry for you and everything... then I read your signature and you lost me. :) While we're ranting I have a very serious rant about Excel. First let me preface this by stating that Excel is one of my favorite MS programs... I know having one seems wrong... but it's true...

    Open Office Install for Dummies

    I'm looking to present a free solution to my office... they don't want to give Bill Gates any more money. Their frustration is at the level that they've asked me to look into free alternatives to Office. I immediately remembered OpenOffice so I went to check it out. Here's what I've...

    Which order to install OS'es

    There is no technical reason for it, but I like to install OS9 first on older machines (G4's and lower). After 9, then X. It just makes sense to install the older os first then proceed to the newer installer. Since the OSX installer was developed with OS9 in mind, but the OS9 installer was not...
