Today I’ll show you a way to realize a console-like component in Flex 3 (3.4). This is really a personal way to handle the problem, I can’t garantee it is a best practice, I can garantee it works.
Let’s move forward…
This tutorial is pretty simple. We’ll see how to setup our linux box to send messages to our twitter account using the command line.

Server Controls like DataGrid,DataGridView , DataList etc have other controls inside them.
Example an DataGridView can have an TextBox or an button inside it.
These Child Controls can not raize events by themselves,but they pass the event to the parent control (DataGridView), which is passed to the page as event.
This process is known as EventBubbling.
Support for WMV, RealMedia and other formats has been bundled into the w32codecs package. This package is not available from the Ubuntu repositories due to licensing and legal restrictions.

If you, like me, have an old fileserver then you should use this trick because the Firefox 3 smart location bar can really rape your hard disk [valley girl talk mode]…like totally…[/valley girl talk mode]
So when you use the list option you have this output:

Sometimes my eyes cross and I read permissions in a wrong way, so I came up with this command:
ls -gGh|egrep ‘[d-][wrx-]{3}[wrx-]{3}[wrx-]{3}’|sed ’s/\([d-]\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)/|\1|\2|\3|\4|/g’
pippo@pippo-laptop:~$ ls -gGh|egrep '[d-][wrx-]{3}[wrx-]{3}[wrx-]{3}'|sed 's/\([d-]\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)/|\1|\2|\3|\4|/g'

My hd is a Matsushita and I’m having problem because my Load_Cycle_Count is growing too fast.
Apparently Ubuntu’s having some problem dealing with it because there is some crappy configuration in the /etc/acpi/power.sh
I have no time to explain it completely but I have a temporary solution.
I wrote a new python script to do the job. This time it should work properly. There is just a little flow. But I’m going to explain the workaround.

If you use many firefox extensions, then you can understand the meaning of this tutorial.
Many extensions, especially the “non-institutional” ones are not upgraded to firefox 3 so they do not work.

It has been a long time since my last php tutorial.
PHP 4 and 5 have some functions to deal with time but if you need to know the difference between two dates you are without heavy weapon so let’s see how we can do that.
The two args are timestamps. To create timestamp you can use the following php functions:
int mktime ([ int $hour [, int $minute [, int $second [, int $month [, int $day [, int $year [, int $is_dst ]]]]]]] )
mktime eturns the Unix timestamp corresponding to the arguments given. This timestamp is a long integer containing the number of seconds between the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT) and the time specified.
Arguments may be left out in order from right to left; any arguments thus omitted will be set to the current value according to the local date and time.
int time ( void )
time returns the current time measured in the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT).
