Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0 FTW!

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

I upgraded my laptop hard drive from 160GB to 200GB. In the process I was left with a chunk of 40GB of unallocated space. For the past 4 months I've ignored this space because Windows Vista's built-in partition manager couldn't do anything with it due to Dell's crazy ...

Gotcha of the Day

Monday, July 7th, 2008

So I'm trying to debug my PHP script and the error stays the same no matter what I add to the end. Hmm...let me check the PHP manual for trigger_error.

So was I. Luckily there is a handy configuration option that tells TinyMCE to leave your code alone: verify_html : false The resulting code should look something like this: tinyMCE.init({ theme: "advanced", mode: "exact", elements: "html", theme_advanced_toolbar_location: "top", verify_html: false }); Happy coding!

Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat Don’t Play Nice

Friday, June 6th, 2008

I converted a Microsoft Word 2007 file to a PDF by clicking on the Acrobat tab and then "Create PDF". For whatever reason, on my computer I have to go through this process twice because the first time it doesn't actually create the file. After the second time ...
