Re: Tpl – A tiny PHP template engine

Alan Briolat — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 08:21:09 -0000

A comparison of PHP template engines in terms of performance is interesting idea, but in order to benchmark so many engines the feature set tested is disappointingly small. In the case of Tpl, there is very little that it does beyond what PHP itself is capable of, and the most important feature is not part of the benchmark.

Django syntax is nice, Twig is definitely the best Django for PHP, but also the Smarty syntax is very nice, the best are RainTPL, Dwoo and obviosly Smarty, here a good benchmark with all together:

you can also download the benchmark and test your template engine, you might be faster than that ;)

Re: Remapping Mouse Buttons on Ubuntu Lucid

Mine isn't so minimal - it's generated by the AMD Catalyst tool - but it has nothing referring to any input devices. There are however other files in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ that do contain Driver "evdev", but as far as I'm aware they're there by default...

I really wonder why you don't need the driver line, do you already have a mouse section in your xorg.conf ? Mine is really minimal.
I'm also perplex about this matching as the keyboard goes with exactly the same name than the mouse...
There's this option too : MatchIsPointer "on"
it may be useful for some others...

Strange that we should have different results with the same method on the same version of Xorg, but your solution is more explicit and probably more correct.

That's a coincidence, I just bought the same mouse, coming in the bundle cordless wave pro, and after a few days I started to be pissed off with the middle click that often drives into scrollwheel actions...
So I had the very similar idea that the "hidden button" under the thumb should do quite the trick. But I was suspicious about this solution as it'd been told hal and udev were cleaner solutions. So my forums digs conducted me to this xorg snippet thing that is the last hope for Lucid xorg tweaks... kind of a regression !
So I post here my solution as yours totally disabled all my inputs... arguing a driver is missing

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Logitech MX1100 button remap"
MatchProduct "Logitech USB Receiver"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2"
EndSection

This is of course just fine on self-administered systems.

I'm just curious whether there'd also be a way for users to enable bitmap-fonts (for their X11-clients) without root privileges.

On Ubuntu 9.04, I had to add:

default-server = /var/run/pulse/native

to /etc/pulse/client.conf.

Man...I still can't believe how easy it was. I spent hours yesterday looking for a solution on how to install that damn fonts and all it took was removing one file. Your solution puts all those so called HOW TOs to shame. Cheers, buddy.

Hi all,
first of all, thanks for this helpful article :)
I'm trying to setup a system like this, but I've just a problem.
I've done all the operations described here to get a system-wide pulse server, but I can hear mpd music only if I run "pulseaudio -C" manually.
Does anyone know why? Any solution?

Thanks in advance!

Giuseppe

Wonderful; it workes really great just right out of the box (after changing to "Logitech USB Gaming Mouse" in my case, string gotten from hal-device | less).

Thanks a lot!

@Dan: Thanks for your feedback. I must have missed that part because I never actually alter the sound level from within MPD.

I had no access to volume control through ncmpc.
Adding this gave it back

mixer_type "software"

Altogether thoroughly good article, thank you.

Re: The Rise and Fail of Facebook

Nick — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:34:42 -0000

Seconded. In the beginning facebook did what it set out to do - Keep a group of people in contact with each other easily with *useful* features like events, photo sharing and the abilty to set random, usually drunken, status messages.

It should have stayed at that imo.

Works perfect on Ubuntu 9.04, thank you very much!!! You're great! I was looking for this for hours...
