Joel on Software has a great article on why you should bother writing a functional
specification:

“I believe that on any non-trivial project (more than about 1 week of coding or more than 1 programmer), if you don’t have a spec, you will always spend more time and create lower quality code. Here’s why.

The most important function of a spec is to design the program. Even if you are working on code all by yourself, and you write a spec solely for your own benefit, the act of writing the spec — describing how the program works in minute detail — will force you to actually design the program.“

Add This provides handy buttons to allow bookmarking of a site with bookmarking websites such as Del.icio.us, Digg, etc. Also, to add an rss feed for a website to feed readers such as bloglines, netvibes and lots more.

There is a a handy javascript library called Lightbox JS 2.0 that allows you to click on an image, and then the image pops up in it’s full size in the middle of the screen.

If you’d like to add validation to the standard email forms that are added in typo3, this is how you do it.

Say you want to add email validation. When you are editing the body text for the page form, I use this line of code:
Email: | *Email=input,50,100 | | EREG : Please enter a valid email address : ^[a-zA-Z][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]@[a-zA-Z0-9][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z]

[a-zA-Z\.]*[a-zA-Z]$

Voila!

My Dad rang me recently wondering why his computer was running slow and how he could check for any nasties living inside his machine. I put together some instructions for my brother Tim not too long ago, and forwarded these onto Dad. And so, for posterity, I am putting them here as well - I hope they help someone !

1. Follow these instructions step-by-step
