This article is going to help you using LDAP to authenticate users rather than relying on a users table with a password column. I will be assuming you will be using cakephp 1.3 and that you have completed Auth and/or ACL setup on your application similar to the ACL tutorial on the cakephp book. Because we want to control the logging in of the user ourselves and not leave it to the cake magic we need to override the auth component....

Backstory A few years ago when the local Circuit City was going out of business I decided to stop by to see if there where any good deals. Unfortunately most of their inventory was at a very low discount (if at all). However they where getting rid of some of their CRM and sales equipment. I picked up a 3M touch-panel LCD monitor for $20 or so, sold “as-is”. When I got home I realized that the LCD panel was only 800x600px, and had a broken back-light....

This is about a piece of software I wrote over a year ago to fit a need I had at the time. It probably will not receive any updates but I have released the source to anyone is free to do as they please with it. Background PHPRepo is a PHP CMS for managing Debian package repositories.

The official HTC Incredible 2.2 update added a new feature to the ROM. When the phone is connected to a computer via USB, even if the memory card is not mounted, it will act as a virtual CD-ROM. It basically just acts as a CR-ROM drive with the disk image found in /system/etc/CDROM.ISO. The default ISO was some annoying Verizon thing. Most (rooted) users simply deleted the ISO from their system....

The PC I wanted a HTPC that I could use to play anything, and that could do anything. And since it was going to be hooked up to a big TV, it might as well be powerful enough to play some modern games on the big screen. I chose to use a relatively new computer (Core 2 Duo 2Ghz, Nvidia GeForce GT 220) and run Windows 7. My previous HTPC ran Linux, but with a powerful enough computer, the ability to play games on the HTPC made me move to Windows....

This is a simple how-to on using Microsoft’s Active Directory for user authentication on Linux systems. The method described in this guide should work for Cent OS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and Fedora. Debian based distributions do not the the tools used in this method and require a different setup.

This allows you to plug household electronics into your car. the most common would probably be your laptop. Home UPS systems do the same thing, except instead of using a car outlet they use a 12 volt battery....

This guide will tell you how to let a windows computer make use of your N810’s GPS as if it was its own. While the Nokia N810 does not have the best GPS in the world it is still better than no GPS. On a recent road trip I wanted a way to visualize my trip route on a more powerful device than my N810’s 400Mhz possessor and Maemo Mapper. I wanted the full use of my laptop, Google Earth and the Internet....
