It is all good. <code>(^_^)</code></p> <p>Having this corporate job means developing on Windows machine(s), which means for me brushing up on <span class="caps">DOS</span> commands. </p> <pre><code>attrib: change file permissions path: print your path variable services.msc: open the services console netstat: lists ports in use</code></pre> <p>I don&#8217;t think there is a need for this command in NT, XP or Vista, but I used to use it all of the time.</p> <pre><code>doskey: allows you use commands previously entered</code></pre> <p>Additionally, I now need to start using dos2unix &#38; unix2dos.</p> Other things that I have learned recently: <ul> <li>Shift + Alt + B in InkScape&#8212;&gt; traces bitmap (i.e. gets path/shape of some existing bitmap object)</li> <li>I&#8217;m turning my dev box into a web server and am working on putting a stack together. Although I would love to try something cool and new like <a href="http://wiki.codemongers.com/Nginx">Nginx</a>, I think I would be better off sticking with what I know (i.e. Apache). More about <em>my first webserver</em> later.</li> <li>I&#8217;ve started a <a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfxrzknm_12dtvb7c">document about the Freelance Web Development Process</a> with questions for the client that I found on the web, as well as links to design resources.</li> <li>To find firefox shortcuts&#8230; enter the following line in the browser address bar: <a href="chrome://browser/locale/help/shortcuts.xhtml">chrome://browser/locale/help/shortcuts.xhtml</a></li> <li>Convert m4a to mp3 with these two lines&#8230;</li> </ul> <pre><code>faad foobar.m4a #converts m4a to wav</code></pre> <pre><code>lame foobar.wav foobar.mp3 #converts wav to mp3</code></pre> <p>More, more, more&#8230;</p> <ul> <li><span class="caps">HTML</span> space = &nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Firebug</li> <ol> <li>Ctrl + Shift + C open web developer css</li> <li>Ctrl + Shift + L open command line</li> <li>Ctrl + Shift + K focus on search box</li> </ul></li> </ol> <ul> <li>Cygwin &#38; the Find command: In order to use the find command in cygwin, you must make sure that c:cygwin\bin; is before SystemRoot\system32</li> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.degraeve.com/favicon/">Easy favicon maker</a></li> </ul> <ul> <li>To deal with the firefox can&#8217;t center tables issue&#8230; add extra empty columns &#38; have colspan across those columns</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Jsp files are converted into servlets that are then compiled into .class files; I am guessing that other frameworks work in a similar fashion.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>To my future selves, please remember that if you are getting a 500 error on a typo blog, make sure to check the file permissions for the log files at least thrice; they must be set to 755.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146">Screengrab</a> is a firefox extension that does screen captures.
