Web design and hosting company owner blathers on about operating systems, computers and web design. Monday, 22 February 2010.

Below is a better fix from php.net. Just define the bcmod function on the page above where you need to use it. Function bcmod( $x, $y ). Take = 5;. A = (int)$mod.substr( $x, 0, $take );. X = substr( $x, $take );.

After two days running the new beta version of Ubuntu I am still completely confused. The default desktop interface has gone from the easy to use Gnome to the extremely confusing Unity. Meanwhile the beta seems to have screwed up many of the features of Gnome if you choose to go back to what they now call Classic Ubuntu. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I have just done a highly unscientific experiment as to which operating system is the fastest to boot up from scratch, get a network and display my home page. If it was a properly valid exercise then all machines would be identical in power, but they aren't. If I used the sleep facility I could bring it back to life in 14 seconds to a usable state. To get a we...

The One Laptop Per Child charity is allowing "the first 25,000" applicants to buy one of their rugged computers on a "buy two get one" basis - you buy one for yourself and one for a child in a less developed country.
