I’ve recently started helping out with limesurvey project, more specifically, their rewrite to CakePHP. One of the latest tickets I help with was to add optional table prefix, so you could have separate installations using the same database. This is something you would never see in Django world, where everyone can afford as many databases […]
Hat tip to Wikia who gave it a few moments of thought and renamed captcha to blurry word. It still doesn’t tell you why it’s there, but now you can at least find it. Before that, it was just a nonsense term (for someone not in IT/web field).

A quick tip for all the fellow OS X users. It looks like OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard have problems with automatically turning on sub-pixel rendering for fonts when viewing text on external display. This means that your new huge display will show things differently from your built-in one. After getting bit by this, […]
I’ve been using Opera 10 on OS X for a few months now. Even though it crashes a few times a day I’m still kind of attached to it, not exactly sure why. Interesting thing happened with latest upgrade from Opera 10 beta 3 to their Release Candidate. They’ve decided that I don’t really need […]
I feel very fortunate that I was able to attend Community Leadership Summit ‘09, that happened past weekend in San Jose. As it was only just a few days away from OSCON ‘09, biggest open source convention in the world, the mix of participants was skewed towards open source projects. I’m really happy about this […]

Tech support is something that you have to do as you build and distribute a product or just provide a service. Most of the time, having support email address in form of support@companyname.com and startups like UserVoice and GetSatisfaction make great tools for creating positive environment where discussions and support can happen. These are all […]
