Jim’s Junk Drawer

This essay captures something I struggle with all the time: how to get momentum on a project when your day is dominated by calls & meetings. Short answer, you can’t. You need to do project work in relatively long uninterrupted chunks of time.

“For someone on the maker’s schedule, having a meeting is like throwing an exception. It doesn’t merely cause you to switch from one task to another; it changes the mode in which you work.”

All you need is “Options +Indexes” in the .htaccess file.

The dreamweaver MM_XSLTransform include requires php5. My godaddy hosting uses php4 by default, but you can use php5 by using a php5 extension (.php5). You can make the subdirectory use php5 for files with the .php extension by editing the .htaccess file to include:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

Paste into existing .htaccess file or create a new .htaccess file at the root of the web directory
order allow,deny
deny from .ru
allow from all
