Recently, my built-in airport in my macbook (about 3 years old) is not working well, the signal received is low. Probably due to it's age. So I bought a D-link Wireless Adapter for my network access.

However, making the adapter works in my mac is not as easy as in the windows environment. But don't worry, it's not that difficult to make it works. With the help of the Google, I found that there is a manufacturer worked an interface and driver for connecting the wireless in Mac Environment. Here is the link to the manufacturer. http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html
Download the USB (RT2870/RT2779/RT307X) if you are also using D-link DWA-140, (dont know if the others work, but worth trying). Install the pkg after you download and extract.

Have you ever think of getting your websites users' location? You may want to show different languages for different locations users, or you may want to block some functions to the specify location.

This web provide a 3rd party service, which means you don't have to host any database related to the ip -> location, this website do all the conversion job for you.

You can simply follow the API provided and follow the instruction, the location of the users ip would be easily obtained.

Beware of the query limit, however, it is hardly used up the limit, unless you made 3 queries per second

Jquery .change() function is commonly used in detecting the event on any change of the input. However, when you are handling the file type input, the .change() may not work as you expected.

$("input[name=fileTypeInput]").change(function(){  
        //do something
 });

In the above code, the file type input is work for the first time only (from blank to first selection of file), if you further change your input by selecting other files, it just wont work. This is probably due to jquery treat the file type input differently with the normal text input or other reason that I dont know.

To make the .change() works as you expected, everytime you choose the file, then do somethings. I will make use of the first time behaviour. Here is the solution,
1. Enclose the input with a div with an ID
2. Every time you change the file type input (choose the file), empty the div and fill with a new file input with the same name.

Recently, i sent out a mass email to users using drupal mail function, more concisely, using the mass_contact module in the drupal, and found out that the Bcc contacts were not hidden in Gmail and live mail. But the yahoo mail and other mail client software (mac Mail App) work fine with the bcc field hidden for the same mail generated.

The problem is only stick to php generated mails, for the mails sent from my mac Mail Application, the bcc works fine.

The problem is frustrating and I received complains from users about leaking their email address.

Here is the screen-cap from gmail,

Is there any solution for this situation?

This is my first SE mobile and i am not quite familiar with the interface, I spent about 1 day to figure out how to use the wifi in the application.

"Currently Unavailable" - in the Internet Settings of the Application
Thanks to the friendly interface, it's not difficult to setup your wifi network, it's straight forward. So you shouldn't be having problem with joining your wifi network. However, once you connected to your wifi network, you should be able to use the wifi signal to browse the internet and get the internet data in your application (like the gmail, MSN, google map, etc.).
Browsing the internet is fine, but the second part seems not so easy. If the application you are using need to use data connection, it will prompt you to the internet settings (you can also set this in Menu -> Settings -> Connectivity tab -> Internet Settings), and it has two options, 1 Connect Using: and 2. Allow local conn.

Uploading a file using html and php is easy, there are plenty of resources telling you how to do it. However, uploading multiple files would be much more complicated.

Due to limitation of the input file tag, you can access one file only each time you browse your file. So if you want to upload multiple files in a page, you can either put many input file tags, or what i am going to share here, using Java Applet and PHP.

JAVA Applet to handle multiple files
There are plenty available java applet to deal with the problem, but now I recommend the JumpLoader. It's free and look more fancy than the others and most importantly, it's easy to use.

The PHP to handle the backend upload procedure

The article provides the easiest way to put the data into excel in the PHP enviornment. Without using any lib. Simply implement the functions provided in the first step.
However, you cannot format the cell with this method. (background colors, font size, etc.)

There is another php library can do the full control over the php to excel but I havent used it for few years. If you would like to do more on this topic, try google the PEAR and the keywords.

This method in the provided link can do the basic data exporting.
