I guess it would be kinda cool if my posts are published as twitter entries. I have installed a new plugin. And this is my first post to test it out.
Getting PHP headers without apache mod headers
by solomon on Feb.08, 2011, under php, Programming
It sometimes happen. You are in a restricted environment -like a shared hosting- and somehow you want to reach the custom headers without enabling the apache module “mod_headers”. Than following little function will do your job.
function getHeaders()
{
$headers = array();
foreach ($_SERVER as $k => $v)
{
if (substr($k, 0, 5) == "HTTP_")
{
$k = str_replace('_', ' ', substr($k, 5));
$k = str_replace(' ', '_', strtolower($k));
$headers[$k] = $v;
}
}
return $headers;
}
P.S. If you have the possibility to use the mod_headers, than you’re free to use apache_get_headers() function.
Mac Maintenance Scripts
by solomon on Jan.03, 2011, under mac
Mac OSX schedules and runs some kind of maintenance scripts. Those scripts only removes some invisible system log files that is not a big deal. But the thing is, it schedules the scripts at 3:30 am of the day, week or month. But off course you can manually run them via following command
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
It’s ok not to see a output when you run the command.

I found a good presentation by the project lead of Zend Framework. He explains the data persistance and why good OO programming instead of refactoring is saves a lot of time.
How to re-locate SVN repository
by solomon on Nov.01, 2010, under linux, Programming
Recently our local svn server location is changed. We use ip-address rather than a domain name for the svn server, so we needed to change the repository location in our working copies.
To change the svn location, use the following syntax:
svn switch --relocate svn://oldhostname/myrepository svn://newhostname/myrepository
Edit: I’m so lost that i forgot to exclude the username and password variables from the code above

KICK-ASS!!! Fucking Hilarious
by solomon on Aug.29, 2010, under Movies
First time in my life, i am amazed by a “based-on” movie, and it’s really fun as the original comic book. Well they’ve slightly changed the story, but it still rocks. Still I need to say that I did not like the way that they turn this into a “will-be-continued” story. Also i didn’t like that kick-ass got laid with sweet Kate. Well that guy is a true loser, come on. Other than that, it’s really fun movie. One of the best.
