I tried looking for a quick lock button on my mac just like (Windows +L) on my PC and I couldn’t find anything decent. Finally found a terminal command that would suspend the mac. Using the apple script editor you can make this in to a custom app.
/System/Library/CoreServices/"Menu Extras"/User.menu/ Contents/Resources/CGSession –suspend
(All in one line)
This is probably not the best way to do this, but this allowed me to create several click-able shortcuts on the DOCK that opens the terminal app, connects to the correct server with the password, sets the correct directory and is ready for me to do anything else I like. Its rather simple.
tell application "Terminal" activate do script "ssh delta@dckzone.com" in window 1 delay 2 do script "mysuper password" in window 1 delay 2 do script "cd /www/mysite/" in window 1 end tell
function getIP(){
$ip ="";
if (getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP")) {
$ip = getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP");
} else if(getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")) {
$ip = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR");
} else if(getenv("REMOTE_ADDR")) {
$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
} else {
$ip = "UNKNOWN";
}
return $ip;
}
$clientIP = getIP();

This bit of code in your main html header will allow your Adobe Air app to to draggable.
document.onmousedown = function() { window.nativeWindow.startMove(); }}
Here is a bit of code to quickly get the letter after the last dot of a file.
$ext = end(explode('.', $_FILES['formElementName']['name']));
Split the name by dots and pick the last one!
The following query can be used to update multiple rows of of data in relation to existing data in the same rows. I only needed to add +1, but you can perform almost any operation. E.g. increasing the price of items in a table by 10%.
UPDATE `ranks` SET `rank` = rank+1 WHERE `id` >= 3
To update a column with an unique index you’ll have to update the highest value or lowest value (depending on what you’re doing) by ordering correctly.
Just sharing a bit of code I found helpful.
I expanded my MacBook hard disk space by replacing the Optical drive with a enclosure that can hold a second hard drive.

First things first, I need to remove the cover.
Insides of my Mac
Optical drive removed
Preparing the replacement drive
You need to attach a few extra screws to
And finally placing the replacement drive inside the MacBook Pro.
Had a bit of trouble with the Open Office registration screen. It just didn’t want to go away even after entering details.
Finally got rid of it by adding -nofirststartwizard to all the shortcuts like this.
“C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3.0\program\sbase.exe” -nofirststartwizard
“C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3.0\program\scalc.exe” -nofirststartwizard
This is a lazy way to make sure you won’t forget to escape date before adding them to a query string.
foreach($_REQUEST as $key => $value){
if($_REQUEST[$key] != mysql_real_escape_string( $value )) die('Bad command');
}
