Safari 4 rocks

Mar 01 2009 Published by Eneko Alonso under uncategorized

I’ve been using Safari both at home and work since last Thursday when I first knew it had been released and it looks very fast and solid. They have finally added some standard keyboard shortcuts, like Ctrl+Tab and now you can restore your previous session (all pages open) the next time you open the browser (although not automatically like Firefox).

It looks very good for web development too, since it has the Javascript console integrated and you can do direct changes on the DOM and the CSS to preview how it would look. But I think Firebug is still ahead and I’m very used to it, so I’m not ready to completely stop using Firefox.

I have nothing against Firefox, which has been my favorite browser for years, but the fact that it is very, very slow. I’ll say today is the slowest browser out there. Or at least it looks like that sometimes. The only extension I have is Firebug. I’ve tried removing the cache, the history, etc. with no luck.

So yeah, so far I’m very happy with Safari 4.

Enabling PHP5 on Mac OS X Leopard

Dec 05 2008 Published by Eneko Alonso under uncategorized

I had done this already at work, but for some reason my MacBook Pro still didn’t “understand” PHP. Well, I’ve decided it’s time to activate it:

  1. # Use your favorite editor
  2. mate /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
  3. # Uncomment the line:
  4. #LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
  5. # Restart apache
  6. sudo apachectl restart

Done.
