A user friendly, strong password generator PHP function.
<?PHP
// Generates a strong password of N length containing at least one lower case letter,
// one uppercase letter, one digit, and one special character. The remaining characters
// in the password are chosen at random from those four sets.
//
// The available characters in each set are user friendly - there are no ambiguous
// characters such as i, l, 1, o, 0, etc. This, coupled with the $add_dashes option,
// makes it much easier for users to manually type or speak their passwords.
//
// Note: the $add_dashes option will increase the length of the password by

Techniques for Anti-Aliasing @font-face on Windows

#Techniques for Anti-Aliasing @font-face on Windows

It all started with an email from a client: Do these fonts look funky to you? The title is prickly.

The font in question was Port Lligat Sans from Google Web Fonts.

The "prickly" is aliasing caused by lack of hinting

Here's how to install PostgreSQL and have it run automatically at startup, on an Ubuntu 10.04 virtual machine using Vagrant. This took me a while to figure out:

Add the default lucid32 base box to your vagrant, if you haven't already:

host> vagrant box add lucid32 http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box 

Now make a new lucid32 virtual machine and install postgresql on it:
