Just introduce some new options to my quite popular library CodeIgniter-minify. From now one you can choose CSS compression engine (cssmin || minify), also FORCE rewrite CSS files. Some speed improvements were also made.

Please feel to check out library on GitGub – CodeIgniter-minify

Sometimes you are just to lazy to copy files to local storage server. Sending files over email ? To long. What other options you have.

If you are on Mac – AirDrop is an answer but – you have to be on wireless. What if you are using old fashion cable ?

There is a solution for that – web experiment called www.sharedrop.io

ShareDrop is a free app that allows you to easily and securely share files directly between devices in the same local network*, without having to upload them to any server first.

It’s been a while since my library CodeIgniter img was updated. Purpose of this library is pretty clear – to scale images on the fly using CodeIgniter. It’s very useful in all kinds of website and CMS-like projects. All you need to do, is just load library and inside view use it like that

$this->img->rimg('path/to/image.jpg', array('width' => 100, 'height' => 200, 'alt'='my awesome image'));

First time when script hits image, will create thumbnail. Next time, website will get already scaled image. If you need change dimensions, just change it within view – don’t worry about recreating images.

How long it’s quite easy to setup init.d services on linux boxes, same task on Max OS machines is pretty hard. Especially if you need to run it with root privileges.
