DataProviderExample
 [ ] Item is correct colour

In previous versions of PHPUnit there used to be more info…

in PHPUnit_Util_TestDox_ResultPrinter change the following line (246) from (part of the startTest function)

from:

246

$this->currentTestMethodPrettified = $this->prettifier->prettifyTestMethod($test->getName(FALSE));

to:

246

$this->currentTestMethodPrettified = $this->prettifier->prettifyTestMethod($test->getName());

% phpunit --testdox DataProviderExampleTest.php

DataProviderExample
 [x] Item is correct colour with data set "apple-is-green"
 [x] Item is correct colour with data set "apple-is-red"
 [ ] Item is correct colour with data set "sky-is-blue"

much better.

Make a backup of the following file:

/System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle/Contents/Resources/Raw.plist

Find the key for the Leica D-LUX 3 (line 3316 in MacOS 10.5.1):

3316: <key>Leica D-LUX 3</key> <string>Panasonic DMC-LX2</string> <!-- 10.4.10 -->

Then insert the following line before the line showing the Leica D-LUX 3:

3316: <key>RICOH Caplio GX100</key> <string>Panasonic DMC-LX2</string>
3317: <key>Leica D-LUX 3</key> <string>Panasonic DMC-LX2</string> <!-- 10.4.10 -->

You should now be able to use the Ricoh’s RAW files in Aperture.

This is based on a previous hack (detailed here), which doesn’t apply to Leopard.

Please note that the documents within PublicAccess can only be accessed by using Internet Explorer. This is due to a limitation within the system which has been raised with the suppliers.

Not good enough. Here’s form I knocked-up in about 2 minutes that gives users of other browsers access to associated planning documents. The associated documents are things like supporting letters, photographs, a copy of the application form etc.

Enter a planning application number to view any supporting documents.

function trim(str:String):String
{
    var stripCharCodes = {
        code_9  : true, // tab
        code_10 : true, // linefeed
        code_13 : true, // return
        code_32 : true  // space
    };
    while(stripCharCodes["code_" + str.charCodeAt(0)] == true) {
        str = str.substring(1, str.length);
    }
    while(stripCharCodes["code_" + str.charCodeAt(str.length - 1)] == true) {
        str = str.substring(0, str.length - 1);
    }
    return str;
}

The horrible "code_" prefix hack is there because I don’t think there’s a native way to search an array or object for a key or value in ActionScript.

Update: just found this function at: frogstyle.ch. This one does a similar thing, but strips more characters.

    for(var j = str.length-1; str.charCodeAt(j) < 33; j--);
    return str.substring(i, j+1);
}

Update: as3corelib has a static trim method in com.adobe.utils.StringUtil.

I couldn’t get the function in Pear’s Math_Statistics to work with non-numeric values, so here’s a function that does.

My thoughts precisely. It’s depressing how this stuff has become so popular when there’s such a variety of decent local cider producers within a 25 mile radius of Bristol.

Given the food-miles accumulated importing apples from the UK, France and the Netherlands to Ireland and shipping them back as cider, its a tad ironic that they have to import CO₂ from Poland to make it fizzy.

1. A refund to anyone that has ever paid money for .mac

That’s all.

1. Make a template file (you’ll probably want to add some styles to this).

   ~/Sites/markdown-preview/template.html

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

   <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Markdown Preview</title> </head> <body> ##markdown## </body> </html>

2. Make the php file, and follow the instructions in the PHP comments.

   ~/Sites/markdown-preview/index.php

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33
