Firefox and every other browser on windows features a ‘previous page hotkey’, the backspace key alas the fact that firefox on ubuntu isn’t as feature rich, so here a work around:
Go to “about:config”, you know to inspect the sqllite db firefox stores everything in.
`Filter` for ‘browser.backspace_action’ and change its value to 0 (zero).
All my coding is done on linux, on the ubuntu distro which isn’t always that nice for portables i might add. Gnome bugs me much for it’s problem to properly control the brightness on my portable but apart from that it’s nice.
Now, a team of developers has brought a mac osx like feature to ubuntu or gnome: gnome-do. check it out, install and enjoy:
While programming my authentication module today, i’ve been experimenting with Rijndael 256 or AES as it is also known. This isn’t hard, at least not the code because php already includes everything as does Yii for that matter, no, the hard thing is to store an encrypted password.
AES encodes your password but does so also by using characters that aren’t ‘printable’ at least not as signs. So I basically began looking for a way to have AES encode everything in characters in the ascii range, luckily for me php already has such functions included: base64_encode and _decode which is nice.
Alright,
The first real website I’ve written in Yii framework is online, just head over to http://marchandiseduweb.com (hopefully you know some French).
I’m not telling you it’s a finished project because the database needs some items in it and you don’t see all the website (yet) online, just the ‘front website’ because the other parts have yet to be scripted, luckely the database design is complet/
I made my decision about my project, having learned a lot with it, I think it’s time to recode the little thing. The database only counts 12 or 13 tables so it’s a not much but it’s rather that part of my application that needs some love and attention to get it to look more professional and uniform.
