The new Google Chrome Beta for mac and the alpha 1Password extension work perfectly together!

Want to achieve the box pictured above?

div.box {
   -webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.20), rgba(0,0,0,0.12) 0px 0px 10px inset;
   -moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.20), rgba(0,0,0,0.12) 0px 0px 10px inset;
   -webkit-border-radius: 10px;
   -moz-border-radius: 10px;
   border: 1px solid #fff;
   padding: 6px;
   width: 200px;
   background: #fff;
}

In order to get it, we can simply check it out of a SVN repository. Execute this two commands:

sudo curl "http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/cvsweb/openssh/contrib/ssh-copy-id?rev=1.8;content-type=text%2Fplain" -o /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id

And you’re done!

1. Open the Console application
2. Go to File > Open and browse to your frontend_dev.log or desired log file in the symfony logs directory
3. Click Show Log List and select your newly opened file to avoid the clutter of the rest of the OS logs
4. You’re done! You can now take advantage of features like clearing the view, search, and more

The official website describes it pretty well:

etckeeper is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial, darcs, or bzr repository. It hooks into apt (and other package managers including yum and pacman-g2) to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades.

All it took me to set it up on my Debian Lenny slice was:

$ aptitude install etckeeper
# aptitude will install Git as the version control system, which is pretty neat!
$ cd /etc/
$ sudo etckeeper init -m "initial commit"
Initialized empty Git repository in /etc/.git/

The best part is that it’ll detect changes made by apt, commit whatever changes you had made previously, and even enable you to make your own commits, after your manual modifications. Do try it out!

To migrate ereg():

ereg('\.([^\.]*$)', $this->file_src_name, $extension);

becomes

preg_match('/\.([^\.]*$)/', $this->file_src_name, $extension);

Notice that I wrapped the pattern (\.([^\.]*$)) around / /, which are RegExp delimiters. If you find yourself escaping / too much (for an URL for example), you might want to use the # delimiter instead.

To migrate ereg_replace():

$this->file_dst_name_body = ereg_replace('[^A-Za-z0-9_]', '', $this->file_dst_name_body);

becomes

$this->file_dst_name_body = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9_]/', '', $this->file_dst_name_body);

Again, I just added delimiters to the pattern.
If you are using eregi functions (which are the case-insensitive version of ereg), you’ll notice there’re no equivalent pregi functions. This is because this functionality is handled by RegExp modifiers.

Basically, to make the pattern match characters in a case-insensitive way, append i after the delimiter:

eregi('\.([^\.]*$)', $this->file_src_name, $extension);

becomes

preg_match('/\.([^\.]*$)/i', $this->file_src_name, $extension);

:o'      => 'angryface.png',
	'>:-O'   => 'angryface.png',
	':-['       => 'blush.png',
	':['         => 'blush.png',
);
// add as many as you want respecting the same format:
// 'emoticon' => 'file.jpg',

Now you’re done! :[ >:o :X :-/ o:)

Event.implement({

   hasCapsLock: function(){
      return ((this.code > 64 && this.code < 91 && !this.shift)
           || (this.code > 96 && this.code < 123 && this.shift));
   }

});

And then access the method from a keypress event:

$('test').addEvent('keypress', function(event){
   if (event.hasCapsLock()){
      // do something
   }
});

The only drawback is that it relies on sniffing alphabet characters and whether the shift key was pressed. This means that if the user presses the caps lock key, you won't know it until another character is inserted.

First, include this snippet where you want the suggestions to appear. For WordPress blogs, this is typically the 404.php file in your themes folder ((The full path would be /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/404.php. Create it if it doesn’t exist)).

Optionally, edit its look and feel by extending this base stylesheet. Tip: you can hide, for example, the search box, by adding display: none to #goog-wm li.search-goog

    /* Widget content container */
   #goog-wm { }

    /* Heading for "Closest match" */
   #goog-wm h3.closest-match { }

    /* "Closest match" link */
   #goog-wm h3.closest-match a { }

    /* Heading for "Other things" */
   #goog-wm h3.other-things { }

    /* "Other things" list item */
   #goog-wm ul li { }

    /* Site search box */
   #goog-wm li.search-goog { }

    /* Search text input */
   #goog-wm-qt {}

    /* Search button */
   #goog-wm-sb { }

Then you’re done! Check mine out (deliberately wrong url) for an example.
