Phew this has been a big day of posts (: — I told you it was coming!!
This will be the last one for today – but there will be a HUGE conglomeration of a post/page about the cluster I built and am finishing building software for this week.
Anyway, here goes the post on HTTP Authentication w/ PHP.
This is just to document what I’ve already given back to the IDL user community. It is a modification of Dr. David Fanning’s, at www.dfanning.com, fsc_surface.pro.
Essentially, Dr. Fanning’s plotting program allows you to pass in data and parameters to create object graphics representations of data – mostly surfaces, as the case may be. I’ve modified it quite a bit for the project I was involved with this summer — IDLWave. It now switches from Surface to Line to Spherical surface plots all based on the data that is passed into it.
I’m going to show you a little bit of how to use a software application called Wireshark — which was formerly known as Ethereal. It allows you turn your Ethernet/wireless adaptor on “listen” mode, and you can watch packets as they go to and from your machine. I’m not getting this into a huge networking discussion, but just realize that there are little bits of information called packets that go to and from machines as you do things on the Internet.
For our purposes, we will be concerned with the transfer of packets between two machines in particular, your machine, and the machine of the webserver where your favorite website is hosted.

Cropper, created by Brian Scott in C# is THE tool I’ve been needing for YEARS. I’m so glad I found it!
Anyway, normally when you wanted to show someone something you had to:

In this post I will describe a database backup solution that I’ve been using for some time. Here’s what happens: this PHP script calls mysql to do a db_dump — this gets dumped to a text file — then it zips all this information up as a gunzzip file, then it emails the txt.gz file as an attachment to a gmail account (where you have unlimited storage). Easy!

So, let’s say you have a stat counter on your website from Let’s say — sitedesigner.safesecureweb.com…. Or any other free web page counter for that matter…
Regardless, you will have a link to your counter that looks something like this:
http://sitedesigner.safesecureweb.com/servlet/CounterServer?_patternID=12&_userID=22533&_pageID=1
Now, we can dissect this link down and find the “userID” section of the URL or URI, whatever you fancy calling it. Regardless — notice the “22533″ — Now, I don’t know who owns this counter, nor do I care — I’m just showing you a proof of concept. For various reasons I created a little web form that would allow you to smack this counter (ie, make the hit # increase) N number of times, where N is a variable determined by the end user.

Hey,
So, one of my favorite wallpaper sites –> http://www.mandolux.com always has these great multi-monitor wallpapers. For years I’ve only been using one of them, when I could have been using two!
This is on Windows XP.
First, get your two images — say via mandolux ~~ great site, again.
Now, Right click on desktop -> Properties
Set your regular desktop to “(None)”
Click Customize Desktop
Click on the Web tab up top.
Click “New…”
Click “Browse” and find your first image.
repeat and find your second image
Make sure they’re both checked, and then say “ok”
When you say “ok” from the Display Properties, you will see 2 images on your screen.
Move the right one to the right monitor by clicking around on it till a grey bar comes up.
Once you have it to the right monitor, click the black arrow on the top of the grey box and say “cover screen”
then move the other image to the other monitor and repeat the process.
Viola!
I’ve included a screenshot so you can see how it works!
Good luck!
PS: if your two images don’t line up, you should put your taskbar on auto-hide. You can do this from right clicking it, unlocking it if it’s locked, and then going to properties. There is a checkbox for auto-hide. Enjoy!
So, I was looking how to reload my .bashrc to update the aliases I had just created and I stumbled upon this great resource:
I will probably add a lot of these to my page in case this ever goes down.
Anyway, here it is: http://www.ftlinuxcourse.com/FTLinuxCourse_Complete-2004/FTLinuxCourse/en/sysadm/appendix_p.html
So, our planetarium has been completed for this term, and I’ve spent a lot of time in there already! We decided it’d be cool to leave the alcove lights on and the windows open [ windows?! in a planetarium!? I know.... I think we're unique.] to come back and take a picture later.
By the way, I added the rest of my personal statement in the previous post, hope you like it. (:
So sorry the images were down! — They’re back up now (:
