Loading ...So I’m continuing on my user account management quest. Yesterday and today I added the ability to register as a new user. It’s still very rudimentary- the registration fields are not checked for validity (so more than one user can have the same user name) but I feel great that I’m making progress. Try it out: http://yukikodesign.com/test/testbed/index.php
Next up, send an email when “forgot password” and add personal account management to change passwords and delete users if you’re an admin.
A huge step for me in programming- I got a simple user authentication to work through php. It took some stretching and “feeling my way through the dark” but I got something that requires a login and logout and it seems to work. The SQL database stuff was a bit of a fanagle since it veered off from my book but this time I looked around and was able to “upload” my queries instead of typing them out in a command prompt. I’ll work on it a bit more later but it’s sleepy time.

I’m at work needing to transfer files from my Mac to my NTFS hard drive. The file system normally allows the drive to be read but unable to write to. There’s too many complicated tutorials/forum posts so I’m making it simple for myself and hopefully others here. 2 downloads and no funky terminal stuff.
$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0)Failed to mount…
You need to plug in the drive into a windows pc and then “Safely remove hardware” by right-clicking on the lower right-hand green arrow that says “Safely remove hardware”. There’s other ways, but this is the easiest I’ve seen.
So you can’t cut/paste file paths easily in Mac OSX. No keyboard shortcuts and even “get info” doesn’t give a selectable pathname. Yes, you can see the path, but you can’t get it onto the clipboard. Hmm.. after trolling a bit of the internet, I found that there’s some freeware and some methodologies- drag into terminal or into textWrangler… They all sounded a bit involved when speed and simplicity is the issue. My method of choice came from Camarena in a forum link: Create a simple apple script, turn it into an .app and then drag that app into any finder bar so it appears as an icon. So here’s the step by step.
Applications > Applescript > Script Editor
tell application “Finder”
set sel to the selection as text
set the clipboard to POSIX path of sel
end tell
Drag the .app file into any finder window’s toolbar to add the shortcut
Saw the movie- I thought it was really good and decided to spend a bit of my free time sketching. Is it me or does iron man’s mask thing make it look like he’s frowning all the time?
Ok. Here’s a quick tip on how to make your stage transparent in flash.

A logo for a new project- kinda like my last Baseball field diagram. Apart from the color irregularities, I like this logo design I whipped up.
