a simple guide for getting a local web server set up

Do I have a web server running?


having a web server turned on doesn't necessarily mean you are serving pages on the world wide web. its what allows you to load your own static files (.html, .js etc.) in a browser via http://.

if you're not sure whether or not you have a web server running, no problem! its easy to confirm.

what happens when you visit http://localhost/?

Broken:
Sidebar:
- Nate McD, Matt Joyce, PinkClouds, WarrenAbox; the small icon to the left of the artists name is broken; can you confirm if this is broken for you?
Suggestions:
- combo boxes could use tool tips to explain their functionality further.
- not immediately obvious; had to experiment to figure it out. Expected standard "mouse mode" controls, where clicking "rotate" will allow you to rotate any tile you clicked on.
Map Type:
- "Dungeons" looks like a header, especially when you expand the combo box, making it appear less like an item in the combo box. Considering giving this an actual header?

Pragmatic Touch Icons

NOTE I'm trying to find the most optimal fav/touch icon setup for my use-cases. Nothing new here. Read Mathias Bynens' articles on re-shortcut-icon and touch icons, a FAQ or a Cheat Sheet for all the details.

I'd like to hear how you approach this: @valuedstandards or comment on this gist.

The issue

You have to include a boatload of link elements pointing to many different images to provide (mobile) devices with a 'favicon' or 'touch icon':

Archiving a website with wget

The command I use to archive a single website

wget -mpck --html-extension --user-agent="" -e robots=off --wait 1 -P . www.foo.com

Explanation of the parameters used

  • -m (Mirror) Turns on mirror-friendly settings like infinite recursion depth, timestamps, etc.

Merge multiple PDFs using Ghostscript

A simple Ghostscript command to merge two PDFs in a single file is shown below:

gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=combine.pdf -dBATCH 1.pdf 2.pdf

Install Ghostscript:

Type the command sudo apt-get install ghostscript to download and install the ghostscript package and all of the packages it depends on.
