If you, like me, use Zend Studio on Mac OS X, you know there were no official Zend 64–bit PHP debugger for Mac OS X. Some time ago Zend posted a true universal binary (including 64–bit version!) to the Zend Advisory Team for testing. We tested it there and it works perfectly!

What would you think if you have received an e–mail that looks approximately like this?..

This book is very useful for both Magento designers and Magento developers. Designers will know how to create Magento themes efficiently and developers will get a very interesting insight into theming in web applications. Highly recommended book!

I use Blind Search a lot recently. It fetches search results from three major search engines: Bing, Google and Yahoo. It shows results to you and than asks what results you like the most.

It is plain stupid to support such an old browser that does not behave according to standards in any mode.

I do welcome MSIE6 support drop from major market...

Last Saturday I finally got my copy of the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium from eBay. This software is costly, so I looked for a good opportunity to acquire it. My edition includes Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, Acrobat Professional, Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and something else that I never heard of before. I mostly need Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash, the rest is not very relevant to me.

First impressions are good. I never was a fan of Adobe products but CS3 is suprisingly good. For example, Photoshop Extended open faster than...

Adobe Photoshop is a de facto standard for graphical processing. If you work with web site or any other graphical design. Photoshop is usually a must.

However not everyone can afford it. Adobe charges a lot for its products. Fortunately with Photoshop there is a much cheaper replacement: Adobe Photoshop Elements. It costs nearly $70 instead of $645 for the full Photoshop. Photoshop Elements is intended mainly for Photographers and amateur designers. It lacks many advanced powerful features of its full brother, such as layer sets, curves,...
