Running PHP5.3.x and Apache on a Mac

flattr this!

Hi,

In 2007 I became a switcher and life got easier for me… everything got easier, except installing PHP and Apache. So, mainly for myself–I thought to write this small “handy”? tutorial on how to install this quickly. The reason behind is also because I recently re-installed my Mac and am at this point again. This lets me just copy-and-paste for me in the future :P

Little Snitch Bitch

flattr this!

All the problems started at once today… major work issue, battery of my mouse emtpy (AGAIN!) and my computer crached.

But the worst problem was after I force restarted my crashed macbook. On my work computer, I use a Microsoft AD account to login. BUT, because I install a lot of application and stuff, I have admin rights on my computer. (No, not because of my last post… I actually got it from the IT department).
But now after the force-reboot, it refused to log me in. I went up to my IT Department to fix this, and we started searching. I learned today that one can open the console by loggin in as “other” and write the

>console

as username, didn’t know that.. cool! :)

Bypassing Open Firmware and Getting admin access on MacBook with LDAP

flattr this!

Hi,

Yeah, the longest title ever!
So, this was my challenge today… I needed to get admin access on a mates MacBook Pro. The MBP he has, he got from his work where they use LDAP, their IT department is not stupid and as all large companies usually do they lock the computer so much down you can barely read emails.
So, the quest for today was to flush the computer and re-install the OS… OR to gain admin access to the computer so one could be able to install and do everything anyways.

The threat of SJ…

flattr this!

Well, it has come to this now… my iPhone apps Stationen and Stationen Plus are so popular that even SJ noticed them.

Instead of sending a nice letter or email to tell how much they appreciate these apps, they send me a letter with a legal threat.

In their letter they make it clear that an image found on PaulPeelen.com is partly the logo of SJ which is patented by SJ. I had 10 days to remove the logo from my site otherwise they would be forced to take legal actions.
