Cool trick for you....

Open up MAMP, go to preferences, click on PORTS, and change your APACHE port to 80. Now everyone on your local network (eg. Connect to the same wifi network) can access your dev environment (your local wordpress site) by putting your IP address (the one with MAMP running) in their browser.

IP address's are hard to remember, to why not go to System Preferences, click on Sharing, then just under and next to your computer name there is an Edit Button. Click that and you can change the local access name of your mac.

Change this to whatever you like, eg "nick" and anyone on your local network can then access your dev environment (your local wordpress site) through a much friendlier URL like http://nick.local/

Pretty cool huh? Bring on the security risks! Go on, live life dangerously!

I spose there might be something better than MAMP. I read about another bit of software that allows to you run a localhost environment in any folder, but MAMP is very easy to set up and very quick and useful for this local wordpress install.

Perhaps add a note about turning errors on in the php.ini, so if you upload you don't get any surprises :-)

Okay, Flash is a large contribution to annoying flash banners.

But more often than not, I am more than happy, or thrilled, or excited to have flash elements in my browser. This could be for an inspiring banner ad or a website.

I'd recommend heading over to www.gettheglass.com before installing this. Think of it as your last love affair with flash.

Personally, I'm going to leave flash where it is :-)

I had the first 17" powerbook. 1ghz of trailblazing fun, and it got me hooked on Apple.

It didn't get me hooked on the price (£2200!) and the wait (8 weeks shipping time), but overall it was a goodie.

It even managed to play Castle Wolfenstein!!!

If you look carefully you can see the front facing camera on the iPhone has been photoshopped out! Could this be the first 3G iPhone in the wild?

We have an "iStore" down in Cape Town. It started out as pretty small, about 3 meters wide by about 12 meters deep but it was nice to see South Africa getting a taste of a fully fledged Apple Store.

They have since moved to bigger premises, and resembles an Apple Store pretty well with all the gadgets available to play with and look at. They also have a sudo conference center in the back of the store with a set of 5 X 5 white bar stool styled seats with mini backs to them and (what must be a 60") Big screen on the wall and an Apple branded pedestal.

Stock is always a problem, but we do get stuff about a week after the US have it these days. (We were lucky with Leopard and got it the same day - while peeps in the US were asleep dreaming of the Leopard release).

Moral of the story, the Cape Town iStore is similar to the Apple Stores I have visited, you can touch everything, they have 1 of each product just about, it has fairly helpful employees that let you get on with breaking the iPods (and that you can correct on the tiny details of the latest mac thing if you are enough of a geek), lots of glass and white surfaces and a keynote come lecture area.

As you say the RX-Twin is rubbish, my right engine broke.

I have to say it was the most fun 6 weeks ever. I got about 20 minutes fly time and it was really manouvarable. Obviously not that durable as far as milage is concerened.

I have something nearly identical an RC X-Twin. Instead of a rudder it has two engines that alternate power to change direction. It only costs about £18 down here in South Africa (R200). Couldn't find the official website but these people have images. http://www.urbanjunkie.co.uk/product.php/418/0/

Or you could dashboard that much quicker if you leave it open :-)

The security features showcased here are great. Not everyone knows the tell tell signs of a dodgy site, and a lot of my friends have inadvertently signed up to spam sites and end up getting spyware (pc friends), so this will be great for non internet techies who just surf for fun.

Another reason to buy leapord for sure.
