Hacking around with PHP to have a better solution than get_browser()
PHP’s native get_browser() function parses this file and provides you with a complete set of information about every browser’s details, But it requires the path to the browscap.ini file to be specified in the php.ini browscap directive which is flagged as
PHP_INI_SYSTEM.Since in most shared hosting environments you have not access to the php.ini file, the browscap directive cannot be modified and you are stuck with either and outdated database or without browscap support at all.
Browscap is a standalone class for PHP >=5.3 that gets around the limitations of
get_browser()and manages the whole thing. It offers methods to update, cache, adapt and get details about every supplied user agent on a standalone basis. It’s also much faster thanget_browser()while still returning the same results.

There are great problems for those who want real responsive images.
Note to self: The lazy, cross-browser, cross-device (desktop and mobile), low overhead, kinda light, solution so far is:
- make your images 2x their display size
- compress them with high compression ratio (30% quality)
- and set their size by css (using media queries if needed)

This is good and bad at the same time. Fair and unfair. Nevertheless it’s a game changer.

This app is supposed (because I haven’t tried it) to optimize svg files for the web.

Daniel Rapp made a cool small javascript library that’s able to use the doppler effect to detect movement.
It can be used in interesting ways… Check it out at http://danielrapp.github.io/doppler/

Develop iOS, Android and Windows Phone apps from a single code base
A helpful online tool for wordpress development:
The easiest and the fastest way to create custom and high quality code for your WordPress project using the latest WordPress coding standards and API’s.
Getting started
Download and install the software for your OS on the computer or device you are connecting from and on the computer you want to connect to. The package includes everything you need to communicate with another NoMachine-enabled computer.
Seems good if you use a few computers regularly (everytime the same computers) and want to remote access one of them.
Haven’t tried it!
The enterprise version is paid, the personal is free.
More info at https://www.nomachine.com
CAVEAT
If you connect to a corporate VPN it doesn’t resolve the corporate internal domains!
It seems you need something like splitDNS but haven’t managed to configure it.
Main article
Currently Ubuntu does not offer an easy way to set up a “global” DNS for all network connections: whenever you connect to a new WiFi network, if you don’t want to use the DNS server provided by the WiFi, you are forced to go to the network settings and manually set your preferred DNS server.

Lately i have been making experiments by repurposing an old laptop.
I installed a Kodi linux that is an ubuntu + media center called KODI (used to be called xbmc).
It is working very well and plan to replace my living room hi-fi (cd-player, radio, tapes???) I set it up to rip a cd when inserted on the computer, so, digitizing my physical cd’s will not be so hard (I hope).
To catalog the music, I plan on using Picard from Music Brainz
[Update] Maybe better, but for linux which is my main OS at home, I’ll try beets.
While searching for this media center solution, i stumble upon a project that may be very cool if you like to make music instead of listening to it. It’s LMMS, and presents itself as a complete recording solution that works on linux, windows and mac.
