Correcting list indentation issues with Drupal 6.x
Submitted by fotios-dev on Mon, 2009-06-22 05:58These were indentation issues with UL and OL elements that appeared regardless of the active Drupal theme (albeit in slightly different form, depending on the theme).
The basic problem was twofold:
- Cascaded UL or OL elements as well as their LI sub-elements, all appeared one right under the other, completely unindented
- All these elements appeared slightly to the left of the left border of the content area
Samsung Soul vs LG Secret
Submitted by fotios-dev on Sun, 2009-06-21 00:37I was recently trying to determine which one is the best mobile phone out of bunch of stylish new phones released in 2008 and 2009 - the phone was to be a gift to my wife. It all came down to a stand-off between two great phones: Samsung Soul and LG Secret. I finally bought Samsung's Soul after considering the following:

Dual Boot + Hard Disk Encryption
Submitted by fotios-dev on Mon, 2009-04-27 03:42My current laptop setup is a dual boot Linux Fedora 10 and Windows Vista Ultimate. I mostly use Linux but having windows comes handy in various situations. The linux-windows dual boot is nothing new; what’s new (for me) however is implementing partition encryption on such a setup. Nothing too tricky but fun to contemplate. Here’s the story off the top of my head.
I first installed Linux (by booting to its installation DVD) having it create its standard hard disk layout. This layout consists of 2 partitions:

Firefox treating HTML page as download
Submitted by fotios-dev on Wed, 2008-11-19 22:40A friend reported to me he was having this issue. A PHP generated HTML page that displayed properly on Internet Explorer would not display at all on Firefox - instead the browser would offer to download the page as if it was a zip or something.
Drupal 4.7.x session issues after upgrade to PHP 5.2.x
Submitted by fotios-dev on Thu, 2008-10-30 20:49Basically the session kept getting reset with every hit and I had to re-login every time.
This is an issue of Drupal 4.7.4 and below with PHP 5.2 and above. The fix is rather simple: upgrade to the latest version of 4.7 which currently is 4.7.10
