PHP allows the use of the PCRE library, but PHP5 comes with an interesting, undocumented twitch: You have to add -with-pcre-regex if you want to use preg_match(), a quite commonly used function. With PHP4, all you did was -with-pcre and you got the whole package, and the -with-pcre-regex is undocumented in the configure program of PHP5 which is where people look for this.

She cradled him to her chest, she looked into her boy’s eyes, she stroked his face and she snapped his neck. This is The Observer writing on systematic rape in Kosovo where 4.4% of the female population were systematically raped during the Balkan war. This article is long and horrible in detail, is about the consequences and what was hushed down, and should definetly be read.

I wanted to try out Sony’s online music store, but it seems it requires Explorer. Try this with Safari and feel the rejection. This is not the way to do business. My most recent experience with this is that I askes the Skype developers for beta access to their OS X software and they were making money of me in no time (and I’m dialling far more frequent to Norway now). How about that music, Sony?

An SMS rally in Norway that asked people to light a candle for the Beslan (Russia) victims led to the Red Cross being given one million norwegian crowns (Norwegian article). 1.050.000, really. 1.5 million SMS’es were sent, and Telenor, Norways biggest phone company, gives the surplus to the Red Cross, which in turn will send even more help to Beslan within this week. I received these SMS’es both in Norwegian and Danish, so perhaps this has happened other places in the world as well? More info in Norwegian here.

Dear all, I’m having a problem giving correct credit to the blogs where I find links with interesting content. Each day I read my newsfeed of ~160 feeds. While reading it, I spawn 30 or so background tabs, and if I find something I really want to blog about, I blog about it. Finding BACK to what entry I clicked from takes much time this way, and thus it’s all to easy to give less credit than what I’d like to. So, I was wondering if you have any suggestions for SIMPLE solutions that would allow a user to know where the page he’s coming from originates from?
