Changing the type of a Drupal node
06/24/2010 - 22:58

Not for the faint hearted this, you need a very good understanding of Drupal, Node objects and CCK in order to do this successfully. I thought I would jot down the steps I carried out in order to change my blog nodes from one type to another.

Replacing a broken fan in an Acer Aspire A150 Netbook
11/16/2009 - 19:57

My little A150 was a great buy when I picked it up a few months back, £150 from Currys Digital as it was an ex display model - which would probably explain the fact that the fan needed to be replaced! Every time I turned it on the noise was ridiculous, I had to turn it on and off in the hope that next time I started it up it would be quiet.

Using virtual hosts with MAMP without needing MAMP Pro
11/04/2009 - 20:21

A few weeks back I published a blog post about updating a MAMP installation. It actually proved to be very popular to I thought I would follow it up with a quick run through of getting virtual hosts up and running on MAMP without the need to purchase MAMP Pro. I don't have anything against MAMP Pro, this is just a free way of doing it for users who are prepared to get their hands a little more dirty than others.

This example shows you how to get access to the video feed from your computers webcam via the Flex VideoDisplay component. This caused me an hour of headscratching so hopefully this example will help some others out there!

Theming user profiles built with Content Profile
08/17/2009 - 10:52

This is a fairly minor issue but hopefully this will prevent a couple of hours of headscratching for someone else out there! The site I am currently working on requires a reasonable amount of custom fields to be added to the users profile so Content Profile seemed to be the logical choice.
