Setting up a Mac for PHP development involved a few visits to Marc Liyanage’s excellent site, playing with NetInfo and the command line. But now there’s MAMP, and NetInfo is gone. So here’s how to setup PHP development on Leopard. Continue»

To change the command line prompt on bash, my shell of choice, you need to edit the file .bash_profile in your home directory. To do that, UNIX machos will tell you to use vi. This I find only slightly less painful than walking on my knees on dried chickpeas, and I won’t touch it (I won’t even touch vim, its marginally less awkward cousin). Continue»

As we were looking for a toilet off the motorway on the way to Lefkosia (Nicosia), we passed by Aphrodite’s birthplace. It’s a lovely spot for a break, a little walk on a pebbly beach, and there’s a hut where you can buy yourself a cup of tea. Continue»

We drove from occupied Northern Cyprus to the Troodos mountains in the west. Excellent drive, through barren landscapes with classical Turkish music on the radio, like some middle eastern version of Paris, Texas. Continue»
