I have been using Varying Vagrant Vagrants (VVV) for some time now as my development environment for WordPress projects. If you haven’t used VVV, I encourage you to try it out, it makes a lot of things easier in terms of setting up your local server. VVV’s primary use is for the development of WordPress itself but the Auto Site Setup feature allows you to use VVV for developing your own WordPress projects.

ShowyEdge displays a color bar at the top edge of the screen depending on the current input source.
You can recognize the current input source very easily even if you are using fullscreen apps.

Open the app with your new account and paste the URL of the folder, then press start

(TLDR: use contentEditable=true) Selecting text in Mobile Safari is not as easy as it could/should be. This is one of those things that is strangely hard compared to what we’re used to with a mouse. What’s the solution? JavaScript, of course. Before getting into the specifics, here’s a simple demo to show where this post is going.

As a regular Mac OS X user, I have a love/hate relationship with the "Open With" contextual menu. Sometimes, it has just what I need. Other times, it's often packed with unnecessary or duplicate items, or missing the app I want to open the file up with the most.

Unfortunately, the "Open With" right-click menu does not have its own preferences, so there is no one way to fix all of these issues. But with a little work and determination, you can finally get the "Open With" menu exactly how you want, for every filetype on your Mac.

You also can't simply apply the background and padding to a <span> or an inline element. The left and right padding will only apply to the very first and very last line. On each of the middle lines, the background will butt up immediately next to the text.

sass-to-js is a Library to easily pass Sass variables via CSS to JavaScript.

It provides Sass methods to save Sass values as JSON to CSS and JavaScript helpers to read them from CSS to JavaScript objects.

Прошло уже больше года с момента последней публикации из серии домашней алхимии, посвященной издевательствам над бытовой техникой производству порошка для посудомойки в домашних условиях. Я все еще жив. Большинство тестировавших жуткие смеси, насколько мне известно, живы. В этом посте я хотел рассказать как правильно мыть ржавые гвозди в посудомойке, не растворяется ли картошка с укропом и подвести итог экспериментов за год.

Flexbox will of course offer more than simple re-stacking of elements, but if that is all you need, you can look no further than CSS‘s display property.

Works for only vertically stacking elements.

I get a lot emails asking how to hide that a site is using WordPress. I thought I would walk through some of the functions I have in my theme to accomplish this. Most of these methods are taken directly from the Roots theme by Ben Ward. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend checking it out.
This uses URL rewrites.

Has a game, application, or device ever felt laggy to you? Have you ever witnessed an argument over which text editor was more responsive?

If you’re using vagrant/VVV for wordpress dev, I used this tip to be able to test a vagrant based local site from mobile devices in the same network (via port forwarding). Basically, you paste a custom config into the Customfile/Vagrantfile and it can be accessed on <localdomain without TLD>.<machine local IP>.xip.io.

Нередко нужно написать скрипт. который при необходимости Вас известит об определенном событии.
Извещать можно с помощью sms или e-mail. В данной теме рассмотрим посылку email с помощью "Heirloom mailx" (или "nail").

Многие предпочитают смотреть фильмы на языке оригинала, а перевод на русский видеть в виде субтитров. Или наоборот, смотреть фильм на русском, при этом субтитры должны быть на языке оригинала.
DLNA серверы (и в частности minidlna) передают на телевизор субтитры, если они называются как файл с видео, но имеют расширение srt.

Tomato is a system based on Linux, dedicated for routers with Broadcom chipset and distributed on the GPL license. Its development was started by Jonathan Zarate. This advanced system consists of especially user-friendly interface, thanks to which even inexperienced users can work with it easily.

I’ve been running Tomato for several years on an Asus WL-520GU router. Tomato is a firmware replacement with similar features to DD-WRT, but simpler to configure. I recently upgraded to an Asus RT-N10P router. It wasn’t the WL-520GU’s limitation to wireless G speeds that was bothering me. It was the fact that I could never achieve the full 50 mbps broadband speed my ISP now offers. I knew the higher speeds were possible, because Speedtest measured that high when I plugged my laptop directly into the cable modem. The old router maxed out at around 30 mbps.

Gravity Forms is not only THE way to create and manage forms in WordPress, but is also pretty awesome when it comes to extensibility and flexibility. However, as most software, it has its issues. One of those is how it outputs some of the JavaScript, which in certain cases will break your site. This is how to fix it.

Tomato is a small, lean, open source alternative firmware for Broadcom-based routers. It features a new user-friendly GUI, a new bandwidth usage monitor, more advanced QOS and access restrictions, new wireless features such as WDS and wireless client modes, a higher P2P maximum connections limit, the ability to run custom scripts, connect via telnet/ssh, reprogram the SES/AOSS button, perform wireless site survey, and much more.

I'm very excited to announce a project on which I've been working for the past several months. It's called Markdown Mapper, and is a command-line utility, written in R (see below) and open-sourced under the GPLv2 license, that reverse-engineers concept maps from plaintext notes.
