CSSTidy Pear Package is currently offline

Deryck Lio — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:19:24 +0000

I have temporarily suspend my Pear packaged CSSTidy from my Pear channel, as somebody pointed out there is a minor issue with the launcher script in linux (csstidy.sh) – not a security issue though, so if you have downloaded and using it, you probably can keep using it.. I [...]

Hosted DNS service

Deryck Lio — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 03:52:39 +0000

I’m not sure any reader remember I asked if they can recommend any hosted DNS service. Most of the offering I have found are quite expensive. However, I have just discovered one (Zerigo) that’s reasonably cheap (free option available, but the entry level plan cost only 19/year [...]

Create a self signed ssl certificate QUICK!!

Deryck Lio — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 05:29:04 +0000

If you’re using IIS7, or newer, you should be able to create a self-signed cert within the IIS manager. Look for that option on your right hand side. For *nix users, run the following command. openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -days 365 -nodes -x509 -keyout server.key -out [...]

[git] Package only the changed files for deployment

Deryck Lio — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 01:27:32 +0000

ToDo: Guzzle

reminder to myself, needs to read and test this library this week. this package seems like a good “modern” replacement to the old snoopy project and the http_client pear package. if you need to ask me why don’t use curl() function library, I need to have the [...]

mod_rewrite workaround in IIS6?

Deryck Lio — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 04:38:31 +0000

Deryck Lio — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 14:03:39 +0000

After some thoughts and consideration, I decided to only release PEAR packaged CSSTidy based on the git repo maintained by Cerdic, and I am not going to inject my own command line launcher into (or mess up) the main CSSTidy repo. Instead, my strategy now is to [...]
