I really needed a script that would work like a resource installer to install some basic templates, chunks, snippets, and categories that I always use when developing in MODx. This SQL script will install home page and inside page templates, a head, banner, content, and footer chunk to be used with those templates, some [...]

I needed a script that would time some php I wrote to see if using an output buffer would speed it up. I used the php microtime() function to accomplish the timing feature, and combined that with sessions to capture an average execution time. This is the result:

Organize cluttered Start Menu? Read this article today after being very frustrated with how long and unorganized my start menu has become. I get so mad when things that are this simple have evaded me for years. I spent a long time searching for some miracle program to do this for me, because [...]
