Extremely Useful Applications for Web Development and IT Tasks

July 30, 2020 by Josh Hartman

My personal list of applications that make day-to-day web development and IT tasks easier. I realize that some applications may belong in multiple categories so please look at the entire list to benefit the most. All applications are Windows-based unless otherwise noted. Also, when installing freeware applications beware of bloatware (toolbars, gaming services, etc.) that some try to tack on during the install.

As I find more extremely useful applications i’ll add them here, so you may want to bookmark this page for future reference.

Preserve your MySQL Databases Between Destroy and Up with Vagrant + PuPHPet on Windows

February 10, 2017 by Josh Hartman

Have you ever run vagrant destroy on your box before you realized you wanted to keep the MySQL databases? Well I have, last night actually. Thankfully I use the wonderful and free Veeam Endpoint Backup to backup daily and was able to restore the old VMDK, connect it to a VirtualBox VM, use Ubuntu recovery mode to gain access, and then backup the databases to a shared folder. So that was an exciting learning experience. [Read more…]

Configuring Exim for Authenticated SMTP Relay to Gmail on CentOS/RHEL

May 14, 2016 by Josh Hartman

exim-gmail-smtp-relayI’ll start this by saying that Exim is slightly more difficult to configure for Gmail SMTP relay than Postfix, and if you’re using Webmin there is a standard module for Postfix that makes it even easier. Finding the correct way to configure Exim on CentOS was difficult in itself and the reason for this article.

Now, if you prefer to use Exim for sending mail through Gmail this is how you accomplish it.

These instructions have been tested on CentOS 6.7 with Exim 4.84. [Read more…]

How to Bookmark your Facebook News Feed

September 27, 2011 by Josh Hartman

Recently Facebook underwent some design changes, now whenever you login to Facebook you are dropped on the Welcome page. Also if you are already logged in and go to http://www.facebook.com it also drops you on the Welcome page.

But when you click on the link for News Feed the URL registers as http://www.facebook.com. But for those of us who prefer the News Feed when going to the normal Facebook URL this is annoying, and I’ve found no help or settings that allows me to choose the default section that Facebook will initially load.

So after some messing around i found that the URL for the actual Facebook News Feed:

http://www.facebook.com/?sk=nf

Just click that link once you’re logged in to Facebook, bookmark the page, and you’ll be able to go directly to your News Feed using that bookmark; that is unless Facebook makes changes rendering this method useless.

It works for me, hope that information helps someone else.
