You want to connect to a remote Mac OSX computer and you don't have Apple Remote Desktop. Mac OSX Leopard comes with a built-in screen sharing application that allows you to connect to another Mac. It is in fact a VNC client, so if you are familiar with VNC you may already have a preferred VNC client application as there are a few to choose from.
Its been quite some time since I looked at a PHP script, the first dynamic website I built was PHP and PostgresSQL and for sometime it was PHP all the way. But sometimes project requirements dictate a certain language, so later I worked with Allaire Coldfusion, ASP and ASP.NET. I used two debugging techniques for PHP. The first method is turning on error reporting which is an after the fact method of determining the problem. It can sometimes be difficult to determine the cause of the problem, as error messages often tell you exactly what is wrong not the cause. The second method employed is printing out variables at points in my scripts to narrow down the point at where the error is occurring. I thought it would be a good time to look at some of the developments in debugging PHP. Unless you write your code perfectly first time off debugging is an important part of developing any sort of software.
Recently I got a new MacBook Pro, previously I used Windows Vista, so coming from Vista to Mac has been a bit of a learning curve. I often look for the features common to the PC and can't find them on the Mac. They are there usually there but usually I'm looking in the wrong spot.
Recently we had a power cut in the office, our UPS cut out after a short time before the server could be turned off and the OSX Leopard server crashed. We ended up have the Open Directory corrupted. My first thought was can I do a system restore using Time Machine from the FreeNAS backup.
In the office we have a Mac OSX Leopard server as well as a Windows 2003 server. I use a PC most of the time so the obvious choice for remote administration of the Windows server is Remote Desktop, but what about the Mac OSX Leopard server?
I recently replaced a Windows 2003 box with an OSX Leopard server; being an OSX Leopard server Time Machine is the obvious choice to backup your server
Just yesterday my colleague Gareth showed me his shiny new iPhone 3G, he had just downloaded and installed the app Remote from the App Store
