Unless I'm missing something, the Genius function in ITunes is, well, pretty lame. It's supposed to intuit a song list based on some tune you highlight. I have 512 songs on my laptop, many of them from the Apple Store so I don't want to hear about how it didn't have the right properties to choose from.
Here are some gems.
I highlighted Rollergirl by Apoptygma Berzerk. It's a techno-pop song. Robotic vocals, sequencers, blips, beeps etc.
"Genius" generates:
Round and Round, Ratt
Incense and Peppermint, Strawberry Alarm Clock
Crazy Train, Ozzy Osbourne
Iron Tusk, Mastodon
Ok, there were also some decent matches but about half of them are like the above - so "off", it's kind of bizarre...
I'm guessing Apple will gradually improve this function. |

I recently had to authenticate against an outside server for Registered User content access. This isn't a huge amount of code but hopefully this will help someone save some time.

I've finally had an opportunity to implement JoomFish on a friend's site. Alchemy Counseling - he's a therapist who's fluent in Spanish.
It's a very small site at the moment but I've seen enough of JoomFish to know what it can do. Very powerful tool. Seems to me the UI could use some work but I'm not 100% sure what I'd do. There's a lot of options so it's not easy to figure out what to expose and what to focus on UI-wise. |

MAMP is great. Almost everyone I know who works on a Mac and does development runs MAMP.
That said, getting certain things to work on MAMP seems to be a black art. There are plenty of posts in the forums with the theme of "uh, that didn't work for me...". Just to add to the body of dubious information, I'm posting my MAMP techniques that may or may not work for you.
Before continuing with this, do one thing right now. Backup your httpd.conf. Do it now before you possibly butcher it, kill your MAMP install and try to contact me with your virulent all-caps inspired hatred. Copying it to httpd.bak.conf is good. Copying it to httpd.yearmonthday.conf works too. Just do yourself a favor and back it up.
OK, next. The techniques described in this article are for your development machine. Yeah, I guess you might find a line or two that will help you on a production server. But, the bottom line is that these are quick and dirty techniques to get multiple sites and ssl running on your MAMP install. If you are planning on replacing your production httpd.conf with what's described here, you'd be playing Russian Roulette with your site.

Hey, so the latest Joomla site for School Family Media is SchoolFamily.com. Again, we're using the Zine (think it might be called Magazine now...) by Andrew Eddie of JXtended. Andrew is a heavyweight in the Joomla world and I highly recommend The Zine/Magazine/Whatever They Call It Today. Among its many features, it breaks Joomla out of the Section/Category limitations that Drupal is known for doing well. It really does a ton of stuff, plus it fully utilizes all the MVC goodness of Joomla 1.5.x.
There will be some cool social networking features for School Family being developed over the Summer. |

I don't have a detailed bug fix for this but strangely enough, while writing about the Tinymce bug in Wordpress, I bumped into a Tinymce bug in Joomla 1.5.2. Tinymce appears to be be changing <hr id="system-readmore" /> into <hr id="system-readmore"> (notice the removal of space-slash at the end). It appears to be editor specific and even when you try to manually enter the space-slash into the tag, Tinymce removes it when you hit the Update button on the html source editor. Cute.
