Google AdSense
Date: 01/03/07 (Web Development) Keywords: web, google
Some people from this community recommended Google AdSense to me as a way to start earning revenue on a new website (Thank you!) and I was just hoping maybe someone could help me with one quick question. I've set up ads and referrals on the website in question; however, there is also a website through Blogger that is connected to this website and we would like to place ads on that as well. Do I have to set up a seperate account with AdSense since they are two seperate websites? Or is it ok to just paste the code on the Blogger as well?
Thanks! -

Hi guys,
I've had my friend's website (the Book Brothel - a book reviews site, very cool) hosted on Netrillium for the past three years.
Last year, Movable Type exploded. I don't have internet at home and couldn't really do anything in the way of fixing it. I asked for help from Netrillium, because googling the problem led me to believe it was the result of a change on their end which messed up my install. They tried a little, said it was fixed, I said it wasn't, they ignored me for a year (not that I was e-mailing daily.. but still.) My long-suffering friend trudged bravely on with her half-working install.
The last straw has come, though: as she approached her space limit, the MT install was garbled again. We asked for a backup. We asked to be moved to a higher plan. They said 'we'll look for a backup and let you know' over a week ago. Since then, the domain renewal came up, I missed it due to work holidays, and they never sent me any sort of notice. The domain (bookbrothel.com) is not currently ours.
I am, understandably I hope, fed up with Netrillium. I think that the owner, Ermina, is a saint, but she hires idiots. My long-winded question is this: where do I go?
I am getting the internet at home within a week, so I will be able to keep my own eye on my next Movable Type (or possibly Textpattern) installation, so support needs to be polite and quick, but they don't have to hold my hand. All I want is responses to my queries!
I want a place which will register a domain for roughly $10US or under, and give me ~200MB of disk space, 300 would be better. I've just been away from the design world for so long I have lost touch with hosting companies, registrars and all its related ilk.
I'm pretty sad about my Netrillium breakup. I used to have a reseller account, hosted all sorts of freebie templates, design collectives... *sigh*Source: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1202920.html

batch renaming badly named files in windows
Date: 01/04/07 (WebDesign) Keywords: web
Hey folks, thought I would ask about this here because another webmonkey might have come across the same situation before...
I've been handed a huge pile of image files to make a web gallery of. They're all in totally inappropriate formats, resolutions, and bytesizes but I can easily take care of all that. What appears to be less trivial, at least to me, is renaming them for more efficient use online. They all have long descriptive names with mixed case, special characters, and yes - spaces.
Now, under OSX or any unix-like OS I would have no trouble with this, but at work I'm trapped in a combination of Windows XP and Windows 2003. The built-in renaming feature of Explorer can only use a naming scheme that includes parentheses and spaces, so that's out as an option. Before I just start randomly downloading stuff, I was wondering - does anyone here have a good recommendation for a freeware (not naggy shareware) tool that runs on Windows for batch renaming files?
Thanks in advance!Source: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1202278.html

Boolean value in PHP?

Hello everyone,
Lately, I wanted to set a form of activation for the user, so that they can choose to activate or deactivate the picture. If activate, the picture will be shown in the home page, if deactivate, then it will not be shown on home page.
I find some resource about setting this activation using boonlean value true or false or 0 or 1.
However i could not really find anything relating this boonlean using PHP. Care to give me some website on boonlean in PHP or some helps, where i can use it to activate and deactivate the pictures for my website? Thank a million! :) -
PHP/MySQL Help
Date: 01/05/07 (WebDesign) Keywords: php, mysql, html, database, sql, web
Hoping somebody here can help me..
I'm going through the book PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thompson. I'm currently working through Chapter 26 (for those of you that have read it), Building User Authentication and Personalization. I've gotten through it pretty good so far, but am having some trouble with actually authenticating the user logins. My site is set up at http://test.aacapartsandsupplies.com. My problem is, whenever I click the login button, I always go to the member.php page.. even if I didn't put any login information in. It doesn't throw back any errors saying "you must be logged in to view this page", etc. Even if I do login, and I try to logout from member.php, it throws back the exception "you were not logged in, and so have not been logged out." I have registered some test users, and this happens on every login I've created.
I'm not exactly sure where the problem lies. I'm wondering if anyone has read this book and might be able to help me out. Even if you haven't read it and know more about PHP/MySQL than I do, I'd appreciate any kind of help. Posting the code for the two files where I *think* the problem lies.
< ?php
// include function files for this application
require_once('tokens_fns.php');
session_start();
//create short variable names
$username = $_POST['username'];
$passwd = $_POST['passwd'];
if ($username && $passwd)
// they have just tried logging in
{
try
{
login($username, $passwd);
// if they are in the database register the user id
$_SESSION['valid_user'] = $username;
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
// unsuccessful login
do_html_header('Problem:');
echo 'You could not be logged in.
You must be logged in to view this page.';
do_html_footer();
exit;
}
}
do_html_header('');
display_user_menu('');
check_valid_user('');
?>
< div id="right">
< div id="title">
< h1>Welcome to your AACA Locker < ?php $_POST['username'] ?>
< /div>
Thanks for logging in! You may now view your custom reports, vote in our
polls, and be sure to check for any rewards you may have won!
< /div>
< ?php
do_html_footer('');
?>
This is simply the login and check_valid_user functions:
function login($username, $passwd)
// check username and password with db
// if yes, return true
// else throw exception
{
// connect to db
$conn = db_connect();
// check if username is unique
$result = $conn->query("select * from user
where username='$username'
and passwd = sha1('$passwd')");
if (!$result)
throw new Exception('Could not log you in.');
if ($result->num_rows>0)
return true;
else
throw new Exception('Could not log you in.');
}
function check_valid_user()
// see if somebody is logged in and notify them if not
{
if (isset($_SESSION['valid_user']))
{
echo '
';
echo 'Logged in as '.$_SESSION['valid_user'].'.';
echo '
';
}
else
{
// they are not logged in
echo '
';
echo 'You are not logged in.
';
exit;
}
}
I can provide more code if needed.
Thank you all in advance!!Source: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1203673.html

Having a problem with Google ads
Date: 01/06/07 (Web Development) Keywords: web, google
Hi folks:
Can you go to this web site: www.kevinredden.name, and tell me if you see google ads below the animated ad on the right? I'm having an awful time getting these to work. Sometimes I can get them on Firefox, sometimes on IE, sometimes both. Sometimes never.
I've tested this template with Firefox, Mozilla (in order to have a clean install using the geco engine) and IE 6. It's never consistent however. So I'm stumped on what's the problem. Anyone got any good ideas?

Fixed the ads!

Just wanted to thank everyone for helping me fix the ad problem on my web site. I got 'em fixed! whoohoo!! (www.kevinredden.name)
I was cleaning out some old backup disks, and found some really old versions of the site, and noticed the ads worked. Cut/pasted the old ad code, and it worked.
Compairing the code, I found that the last two lines was goofed up somehow.
To help you all, here's the old code compared to the new code. The changed code is in bold/italics

I've printed this out, and put it in the safe-deposit box :)
So thanks to everyone who confirmed and also helped.

Everybody needs to take a break every once in a while.
Date: 01/07/07 (Computer Geeks) Keywords: web
Someone gave a ticked-off response to the computer build pics that I posted. It was in a forum that's not as active as this one so I didn't think it would cause any uproar there either (that forum had no rules listed in the userinfo). I was not-exactly-cordially asked to show what I can do and not what I can buy. I'm posting this just in case someone here was equally bothered by the photos of my computer.
The following is the clarification response I gave.
It's a hobby. Goodness' sakes.
Something reared it's ugly head, I suppose. Oh well.
Well, since you asked-
My office is on the 6th floor of the SC12 design building in Santa Clara, California, at Intel's headquarters. You can see the front of the building in one of these photos:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/49617622@N00/sets/72157594215055118/
I am a microprocessor mask layout designer working in the central standard cell library design team. The projects I have worked on over the last six years (7th year sabbatical eligibility is in March):
Timna (integrated processor- AMD was not the first to implement such a thing. Intel had it on the production line and simply shelved it. It was cancelled)
Montecito (IA-64)
Banias (first Pentium M. I had the inverter family, which was the highest usage family in the library. That means a large portion of the logic was covered by my cells. Relatively easy work, but important work)
Dothan (Pentium M, I only did minor verification work)
Prescott iteration of P4
Tejas iteration of P4 (cancelled, and it was already taped out. In a way it was kind of discouraging since I did a ton of work and I trained two people for it too, but in retrospect it was definitely the right move for Intel to make)
Merom (Core 2, essentially same derivation for Merom/Conroe/Woodcrest. Can't say any more than that)
Penryn (Merom shrink)
Nehalem (I can mention the name because it's already been printed over the web)
Westmere, Gesher (They've also been mentioned. I wonder who in the world are leaking these things... A lot of the times I don't even know what in the world I'm working on exactly. I just worry about the physical layout design of the devices and paths after being handed the schematics. Two months ago I was given the opportunity to work on some fub level stuff so I saw much more circuit on my screen. That wasn't very fun... those fub-level people can keep their jobs and I can keep mine, thanks much. Maybe I'll occasionally go on rotation but there's no way I'm transferring to a fub layout team. Ironically I get more info on our projects from the internet than from inside the company. Then again, a lot of the rumors they print are ridiculous and amusing- The nVidia merger, for example. That reminded me of the April Fools joke they had on the company intranet site about the Apple merger)
By the way, regarding "how much money"... I didn't exactly spend a whole lot, since the E6700 is an engineering sample that the company loaned me. I wouldn't have bothered building a machine if I have to actually buy the chip. As for the rest, they're bargain components. The keyboard for example was only $14, the monitor $240 (recently dropped to $210), the graphics card $169 (recently dropped a whopping $20 to $149), the power supply I got for free after rebate (which is why it isn't giving enough voltage and I have to get a replacement if I don't want something to break), the speaker/case/soundcard was around $35 each. These systems could generally be built for under $1000, and I think people know that.
Yes, it took a lot of work- to research for the lowest prices on the best parts for the performance/value metric. It's true that any Joe off the street could have gotten something big with a big budget, but it did take work and some workarounds (The 7.1 was really a "5.1+2") to get it relatively inexpensively.
Again, this is a hobby project, something to amuse myself with on evenings and weekends away from my job.
I hope this clarifies things.
I forgot to mention a project that I worked on during Nehalem timeframe. I can't mention the name though since I don't see it printed anywhere.
On another note, I have heard of Larabee discussed inside the company. I don't know much about it though. What I have heard I can't say either.Source: http://community.livejournal.com/computergeeks/1020107.html

Javascript Widget
Date: 01/08/07 (Web Development) Keywords: browser, web
Hey guys,
I've had a shit ton of problems creating a widget that will stay on top of everything in the browser window, and also...be compatible with IE6, 7 and FF in both PC and Mac. The problem is often Flash but other times there is just an overflow bug because to get around IE6's stupid non-support for position:fixed I coded in overflow:auto to the body element. It's complicated. It's still not working for all platforms.
Anyway, so I was just browsing to see there is a widget like this already and saw the incredible widget on Adobe's website:
http://www.adobe.com/products/
That looks great, but the code is pretty convoluted. And, plus, they have a copyright and patent warning attached in their script. I think they may have minified it too. So, I'm like, screw this. There has to be someone who knows an open source version of the same widget. anyone? -

Hey folks, I originally poster here concerning a Faculty/Staff site where I would have multiple pages and such.
Well, after speaking with our IT guy, (it's a bass ackwards process by the way, I'm the webmaster, but I have to give the IT guy all my files so he can upload them.) he says that we have no SSI/A available due to... more or less 'analness.' The school I work for is more than paranoid about net security and etc etc etc. So, that rules out PHP/ASP/anything really because they simply refuse to support it. So any suggestions from this point?
To reiterate:
About 70ish faculty and staff pages, each member having his own page. The design and layout remain the same except for an image and copy.
Thanks all.Source: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1205987.html

Web designers, help me!
Date: 01/09/07 (WebDesign) Keywords: web
I am doing a website for a friend, and since I am still learning as I go, I decided to make the page in photoshop. There are lots of flourishes and masking going on, so it was definitely the easiest way to go for me. Now... what is the best way to slice this and take it into Dreamweaver? It's not really a conventional square format... the logo/menu at the top is a pretty complex photoshop illustration with many flourishes, so I am not at all sure how to slice it. I want it to have the fastest loading time possible, obviously. It only involves 3 colors if that helps. I have the heading and footer, connected by a large blank area for text. The text area, though currently blank, does have a rough texture, so a Dreamweaver solid color won't do. I also plan on tiling a background in Dreamweaver, so the part is not an issue. This page also involves transparencies I would like to preserve. I'm just wondering what the best strategy is and what order to do everything, also keeping it easy to change things if needed down the road. Thanks in advance for the help!
