New randomlygifted update brings more gift ideas and hopefully less garbage
One of my many side projects is randomlygifted, a random gift idea generator.

I like to use it as a nice starting point when trying to figure out what kind of gifts to get people.
Clear Note Widget (Sticky Note App) Now Available For Android PhonesYes, you heard it here first. I actually released an Android app. To be honest, this isn’t my first foray (and probably won’t be the last) into Android.

Or at least running until he (she? it?) crashed into a conveniently-placed, official US Postal Service mailbox. |

Setting Up nginx and Apache in 30 minutesThe angbox blog and all of my other web sites are now running on a lethal combination of nginx and Apache. That’s a huge improvement from a week ago, when my sites were barely running. If you’re looking for an alternative to running Apache by its bloated lonesome, check out this guide. If you’re looking for the latest saga of my Japan trip, or another post that has absolutely nothing to do with web development, you might want to skip it. |
Reset the Root User or Password in a MySQL WAMP SetupRunning MySQL in a Windows XAMPP test environment is pretty common. Having to restore the root user, or having to reset the root user password, however, is not. Here’s how to get your root user back up and running on your WAMP system in no time. |
