So in my desperate need to make some application shortcut look pretty in linux, i needed to extract the icon from a windows exe.
The icoutils package provides some very nice tools, one of them being wrestool which i used.

So i was troubled with how to open and display a psd file with PHP’s imagick component.
I came to the following result, apparently imagick imports all the layers, and by using the image iterator, you can go through them.
The iterator index 0 is the whole image merged together.
By using this simple code, notice the setIteratorIndex(), i succesfully displayed a few multilayered psd files.
<?php // ********************* // * Developed by: * // * Gofolo Consulting * // * www.gofolo.com * // ********************* $im = new Imagick('Visitkort_Ver1.psd'); $im->setIteratorIndex(0); $im->setImageFormat('png'); header("Content-Type: image/png"); echo $im; ?>
So I work with many servers and many customers. Usually I had to write a new backup script for every new customer and server. Therefore I figured I might as well just write a template that I can copy/paste everytime I have to implement a robocopy backup script. So here goes.
I’ve already mentioned I work with many customers and servers. Everytime I install a new server that hosts printers I have to handwrite a loginscript that connects/maps the printers on the clients. So I made a template for that as well. There is only a few variables needed to change for it to rock. Check it out.
So about a month ago we launched the latest customer project.
Megabillede.dk
It’s a site focused on selling prints on canvas, which is an awesome product. Every functionality was developed in house. The site heavily uses javascript for the functionality for the cropping tool (beskæringsværktøj), which was a requirement for the site.
We chose to use javascript to avoid working with bloated flash or even java for that matter. And we achieved the result that was requested and even more.
I had a scenario where I wanted to see what was on the network at a location.
So I figured I’d just ping them all, man was this a pain or what! So I wrote a script for it instead. :)
And yes, I know there is alot of IP-scanners out there. But what hacker would I be if I used someone elses programs? I wanted my results in my own custom preferences.
The script was developed further on and now includes hostname lookup and logging to file with identification tags of the current place.
The script will ask all the necessary questions. Its quite useful. Check it out!
So i was asked to tell how many lines of code a project was at so far..
After some brain bashing i came up with the following, there is proberbly better ways to do it.. but it seems to work pretty nice.
grep -R --include=*.php --include=*.js --include=*.css --include=*.htm* . * | wc -l
This counts the lines in all the text types i had used in that project.
So after struggling with absolute positioning, i finally came across the following.
* { padding:0; margin:0; }
Above removes the differences, apparently caused by different theories on when there is a margin or not…
So while i was optimizing the graphics for a current project, i fell over this amazing tool… PngOptimizer
It really do what it promises, and so far i have found no problems with the results it produces..
So i was battling with the need to use alpha transparent png’s for a website design, and as we all know IE6 sucks at this..
So i found this on the net: 24ways.org/…
Very usefull indeed…
Tho it lacked the possibility to only target specific areas, it was already supported to be limited to a single id and it’s nested elements. Tho i needed it for several areas, but not the whole page.
So i did a little hacking, and added possibility to have several id’s, probably not the best way but it gets the job done.
