Debugger :  XDebug activition

SUMMARY:  XDebug instructions in the xdebug.txt file packaged with XAMPP reads as follows:

1: Activate XDEBUG in apache\bin\php.ini
2: Comment out ZEND (only one zend_extension_ts is going)
3: Start PHP Scripts with session param ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=<name>
e.g.: http://localhost/xampp/phpinfo.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=mydebug
4: Start xampp\php\debugclient-x.y.z.exe     ( x.y.z being the appropriate version shipped with your XAMPP install )

More Detailed

You should have already saved the Xdebug extension DLL file to your PHP extension folder.  Record down the full path of it. Now, open up your php.ini file and go down to the [XDebug] section, or create it if it’s not there. Uncomment or add the following lines:

;; Only Zend OR (!) XDebug
zend_extension_ts="D:\XAMPP\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp

Do not sit down in this motel – The Erectus Motel

You are liable to get something up your arse.

Let me analyze the genesis of this. 

  • someone came up with this idea
  • they thought it was a great idea
  • none of their friends told them it was a  bad idea
  • none of the sign contractors told them it was a bad idea

Who knows? maybe they do get alot of business?

A brief primer in Brazillian motels.   People many times live with their parents until 30 years of age because of the relative amount they earn and how much a house costs.  Thus they need a place away from parents to have sex.  They are well appointed places.

 

DFW Dallas Fort Worth Airport waiting in the cushy room near gate B20

I am back in southern Brazil and passed through Dallas Fort Worth airport.   I had an 8 hour wait before my flight between Dallas and Sao Paulo.   I really needed to find a nice comfortable place to rest if not sleep.  Most airport lounge chairs are pretty unconfortable by design to keep the homeless out of them.  However since you have to have a ticket to get into the gate areas one must conclude they mean the temporarily homeless also known as "a traveler".

I went to one of the information counters manned by the old folks at DFW.  The guy there mentioned there was a lounge with some really comfortable chairs.

 

I was remiss in my photography.  What you do not see clearly is that there are some full on permanently reclined chairs in this paradise for travelers.  Nonetheless you can see all the chairs are quite adequately stuffed and easy on the butt.  I got several hours on the verge of sleep here and felt compelled to share the secret!  Now stay out so there is room for me the next time I need to visit it.  See you there!

Killer Zits and Oversized Thumbs

When I was young my father was 325lbs and no one to be trifled with.  When I was 16 and not small myself he suspected me of breathing the Columbian airs.  He literally picked me up by the hair with one arm.   I had alot of hair at the time as I was in the midst of my Jim Morrison look .    I was my father son and thus  had alot of testosterone that would result in marble sized zits on my back.  Occassionally for amusement he would take his oversized thumbs and pick one of this painful killer pimples on my back.   It would basically feel like a pair of industrial sized vice grips biting onto my back.  Yes this is what passed for humor in my family.  When I think back I laugh in nostalgic memory of a better time in the late 70's when our culture was not so nearly uptight and not yet gaming each other like dumbass penquins that constantly steal each others nest rocks and somehow imagining that GNP is being created.

How to Disable Windows Update Restart Nag

1. When you get the Windows update nag either in Windows Vista or Windows XP, open the command prompt by using the path StartMenu>Run>cmd or windows key + r and type cmd and then press enter.

2. In the windows command prompt now type the below mentioned code:

sc stop wuauserv

3. Once you have put the above mentioned code and press enter and the windows service would be stopped and the nag screen will disappear. Windows update service will get restarted once you restart your computer hence you need not worry as your computer will keep receiving updates.

That’s it so now you can disable the Windows update restart nag whenever you are into something important.
