Sass, or Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets, promises us to rid us from annoyances over CSS. And it delivers!

We needed a somewhat more advanced Excel file generation toolset for one of our customers and decided to take Ilia Alshanetsky's Excel extension for PHP for a spin. 

I had to import a SQL-file with a size of over 20Gb into a mysql-database but ran into a lot of problems doing this. I don't have the best server in the world so this import takes about 8 hours to complete and I noticed that after a few hours the import stopped or my connection broke down so I had to start the import again. I've tried it for 5 times without succes and got a little frustrated so I decided to write a little and simple PHP-script to split this large file into smaller pieces so I could import these pieces and eventually easily resume the script after the connection broke down.

Passing an array in php to a foreach which loops over the elements by reference can have strange behaviour.

When you enable the Synology Media Server on your NAS, there are 3 directories added to your file-system (video, music and photo) which will be used for the DLNA/UPnP media server to play the corresponding files.

I wasn't very happy with these 3 directories because I wanted to categorize my media in other directories. In this post, I will show how I've resolved this problem.

Cracking other peoples network is considered illegal in most countries!! Last day, my sister called me up because she couldn't connect to her wireless network any more. She was playing with her network connections and broke everything. She didn't know the key for her wireless access point and the access point couldn't be reset because it's on the attic and we couldn't reach it.
