PHP Digital Clock

I may not be the best of PHP developers but I can pull out a basic digital clock out quite fast.

So if anyone messes about with it I would love to know what you’ve added to it or taken off it.

Feel free to use it how you please its only a basic PHP script.

RSS For Tech Geeks Only?

Well after looking at a couple of peoples computers that don’t really know much about how they work etc I ask about RSS and they don’t have a clue what I’m going on about.

So it only seems to be a geek thing at the moment but looking at Morzilla Firefox 2.0 I see that they have a new RSS feature, but too be honest it’s not really pulling enough people to use it or allowing others to understand it really.

So I started trying to think what we could do about it, but really their isn’t much to do except adding a “add to Google” button to your website which in some cases doesn’t look very nice but unfortunately at the moment.

So RSS is only for tech geeks unless we explain it to everyone else.

Has Linux Got The Power To Overtake Microsoft?

Well let’s start off talking about Mac, you can see by Mac’s OS X that they are doing brilliant, it seems that a lot of people are choosing Mac’s over windows boxes.

But looking more into Mac you will find that it is actually based around Linux and Microsoft where the odd ones out until the release of vista that contain few things that are made like Linux.

So looking if Linux have the power to overtake Microsoft they obviously do, and they are catching up fast from looking at Google trends you can see that Ubuntu Linux are actually overtaking Mac OS X. This has to be good seeing how good Mac is doing.

Legal Notice Dialog Box (Box Pops Up Before Prompted For User and Password)

You will see this on school pc’s, college pc’s or university pc’s.

It’s simple to put it on your own pc just run “regedit”

Now go to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENT VERSION\WINLOGON”

Value1: “legalnoticecaption” = This is the title for your box

Value 2: “legalnoticetext” = This is the text contained inside the box

Linux VS Windows, Which is The Best?

Well I got my Linux CD a couple of days ago (fedora core 5) I was installing it and I though “wow this looks brilliant” that part actually sold Linux to me.

So after trying out some applications which where on it, the applications where pretty much the same as a lot of Windows applications you have open office which is the same as Microsoft office, Morzilla products so I couldn’t complain until it was time to get my network setup so I went into the network option allowing me to select my wireless device which wasn’t supported on the list. So I went hunting around the forums trying to find the answer and this is where it hit me at how hard Linux is to use you are constantly having to use the equivalent of msdos to compile install, you know what I couldn’t be bothered to I just went on a forum asking for step by step instructions.

Comparing this to setting my wireless device up on Windows its like climbing Mount Everest Windows has plug and play and most major distributors have the drivers for Windows not Linux.
