You want to know why? The bugged Techie Guide!!!

On page 19, the script is completely wrong and drove me mad: variation-content should be variation_content and document.write(“</nosc” + “ript>”) should be document.write(“<nosc” + “ript>”);

So, here is he complete correct script:
<script>
var v = utmx(‘variation_content’, ‘Section1’);
if (v) {
document.write(
v.replace(“%%product_name%%”, “<? print $product_name ?>”).
replace(“%%product_price%%”, “<? print $product_price ?>”).
replace(“%%product_id%%”, “<? print $product_id ?>”));
document.write(“<nosc” + “ript>”);
}
</script>
<ul>
<li>Product name: <? print $product_name ?>
<li>Product price: <? print $product_price ?>
<li><a href=’buy.php?prod-id=<? print $product_id ?>’>
Buy Now</a>
</ul>
</noscript>

Adapt it to your code and be happy!

Just add their repository to your sources.list. You can find more detailed instructions here!

Have fun. ;)

Here is the correct procedure to update gem under ubuntu/debian without using apt-get/aptitude

$ sudo gem install rubygems-update
$ cd /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
$ sudo ./update_rubygems
$ gem -v
$ 1.3.5

Happy rubying :)

sudo port install php5 +apache2+macosx+mysqlnd+pear
you should have noticed that you cannot use mysql anymore because of an error that, I’m sure, is driving you crazy
PHP Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): [2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///tmp/mysql.sock) in /Users/antonio/Sites/db.php on line 25

PHP Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory in /Users/antonio/Sites/db.php on line 25
The problem comes from php and unfortunately is only fixable changing the location of the mysql.sock from the usual macports directory /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock editing the file /opt/local/etc/my.cnf

Totally happy! Expect great new things :D

So, what am I doing? The first part time website in Ruby on Rails is going to be published and I was working on that almost every evening and weekend with Antonello.
I should have written something about Rails and Ruby in here but … there is already a lot of material around the web.

Maybe I’ll post something on GIT that is a bit more obscure :)

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^([^.]+)\.([^.]+)\.babelclient\.photobox\.([^.]+)\.([^.]+)$"{
evhost.path-pattern = "/web/%5/%6/assets"
}

will NEVER WORK but

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^([^.]+)\.([^.]+)\.babelclient\.photobox\.([^.]+)\.([^.]+)"{
evhost.path-pattern = "/web/%5/%6/assets/"
}

WILL WORK.

compare the two pieces of code and start screaming like a mad!
