Before conceiving and developing a website, it’s important to know the most used technologies on Internet. Therefore, I regularly consult the statistics of W3 Schools which indicate the monthly evolution concerning the use of the browsers, operating systems, resolutions and other technologies.
But, be aware…
[…] Global averages may not always be relevant to your web site. Different sites attract different audiences. Some web sites attract professional developers using professional hardware, other sites attract hobbyists using older low spec computers […]

ActionScript doesn’t provide a built in String.replace() function to search and replace text in a string. Then, here is a small function (but very effective) which is a good alternative.
function replace(search, replace, subject) {
return subject.split(search).join(replace);
}

I was searching for a nice loading/processing indicator while adding a few Ajax improvements into the CMS I developed and found this: AjaxLoad, a site to generate indicators with your foreground and background colors. Let’s see if the developer will add new and original indicators!

Ever had the need to transfer files through a cron job in a Linux system? Maybe you need to download some rotated logs for archiving? Or upload some files at a given point in time?
Making a Linux shell script do FTP can actually be quite painless. And it works even if the remote host isn’t *nix (Windows, for example). (more…)

Mario and I are very happy to announce that the Multipage Validator button has been added to the Google Toolbar button gallery. This button works with our Multipage Validator which is a very powerful tool to validate your website’s HTML or xHTML code.

I am always searching and searching for the same shell commands. I don’t use them often enough to remember them. Here’s one to backup your whole site directory into one archive file:
tar -cvzf ~/$(date ’+%F_%H%I%S%P’).tgz ~/domain.com/
This will backup the whole folder “domain.com” into an archive. The filename will include a timestamp, which is quite useful!
