Quickly archive multiple directories into separate archive files

Hodge — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 12:36:10 +0000

I recently needed to quickly archive several hundred directories, and their contents into separate, compressed files named after the directories. The horribly slow way to do this would be to either right-click each directory and select “create archive” via the File Manager, or, via the command line, to manually run tar several hundred times – [...] No related posts.

64 Bit Jungle Forums now open!

Hodge — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 16:22:41 +0000

I’ve decided to create a forum community for 64 Bit Jungle users, and anyone else who would like to join. I guess the forums are an extension to post comments, allow discussion of topics not (yet) covered in any articles or posts on the site, and will hopefully encourage discussion and debate within the community!

Webgrind: Cross-platform Xdebug Profiling Web Frontend

Hodge — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 04:53:30 +0000

I’m using Xdebug as my primary PHP debugger. I have it integrated into my Eclipse PDT IDE, and have also been using its profiling capabilities. Until recently, I’ve been using KCachegrind – which has a wonderfully diverse feature set – as my primary profile data visualisation tool. However, as a Gnome user, KCachegrind requires a [...] Related posts:64 Bit Jungle Forums...

On the Edge: PHP IDE With Eclipse Galileo (3.5 M6) and PDT 2.1 M6

Hodge — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:15:19 +0000

Eclipse 3.5 AKA Galileo is scheduled for release on the 24th June 2009, with PDT 2.1 shortly after on the 26th. Not being one to wait, and also getting some obscure pleasure from testing pre-release software, I decided to download and install the current stable Milestone, M6, of both Eclipse Galileo and PDT 2.1. The [...] No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related...

64 Bit Jungle’s Traffic Stats look like K2!

Hodge — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:35:17 +0000

Thanks to StumbleUpon, and its Stumblers, who have sent me some great traffic, 64 Bit Jungle’s stats for the past couple of weeks bear an uncanny resemblance to the South face of K2! For those who don’t know, K2 is the second highest mountain on Earth, and located in the Karakoram section of the Himalaya, [...] Related posts:64 Bit Jungle Forums now open! I’ve decided to...

Merge two images with PHP and GD

Hodge — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:09:46 +0000

One of the things I really wanted to incorporate into the new site design template, was a nice big, I-really-want-people-to-click-on-this-and-Subscribe-to-my-RSS-Feed image/link/button (big [what the hell is] “Web 2.0″ buttons seem to be the in thing at the moment – I didn’t want to feel left out…), which is located at the top right of the [...] Related...

64 Bit Jungle has a new skin!

Hodge — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:44:51 +0000

Out with the old, in with the new. As mentioned in my last post, I loved the old i3Theme theme, but I got somewhat fidgety over the last week or so, and felt like a change, so made a change or two to the site! The new theme is based on the English version of Open [...] Related posts:64 Bit Jungle Forums now open! I’ve decided to create a forum community for 64 Bit... Changes are...

Changes are brewing…

Hodge — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:07:30 +0000

Just a quick heads up about some changes I’m making to 64bitjungle.com – no, no, content will remain the same, and I’ll be writing as (in?)frequently as usual, but there will be a major design change possibly within the next couple of days. As much as I love the i3Theme, I’m getting fidgety, and feel like [...] Related posts:64 Bit Jungle has a new skin! Out with the...

MySQL Workbench 5.1 Beta Released for Linux

Hodge — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 08:26:09 +0000

I’ve had a play with a few of the previous Alpha releases, and so far so good. Yesterday, MySQL Workbench 5.1 Beta was released, so I decided to download it and give it a go. There is currently no official 64 Bit binary installer available, so we still need to compile from the source. This [...] Related posts:64 Bit Jungle Forums now open!
