Importing Large MySQL Files into PHPMyAdmin
The default file size for uploading mysql dump files into PHPmyadmin is around 2mb. I needed to upload a 160mb file. How to do it? 1. Increase the maximum execution time for phpmyadmin: I use xampp, so I just had to find the config.default.php file, which for me was located in xampp/phpMyAdmin/libraries/config.default.php. I then searched […]
Read MoreFixed Position Div Isn’t Staying Fixed When Scrolling on Android
My nice fixed position toolbar wasn’t sticking as it should as I scrolled through on my mobile browser window. It would appear sticky at times, but as I scrolled, it would slide up or down.

Read MoreJoin Two Nodes That Sit On Top of Eachother in Inkscape
Joining two line segments in inkscape is generally pretty easy — at least if the two nodes to join are situated closely together so you can easily click on both and use the “join selected nodes” tool. But most of the time I want the nodes to sit right on top of eachother. How do […]

I have a growing distaste for stock photo companies. I remember trying to cancel my monthly subscription with Bigstockphoto.com — which took two tries and a call to their support. When canceling, they have three different prompts to ask if you’re sure, and apparently on one of those three screens, I clicked that I wasn’t, […]
Read MoreAdding PDF Files to Shopify Pages
I’ve had to add pdf files to pages within the shopify platform several times now, and I always seem to forget how to do it. I generally don’t have a problem uploading them (if I’m going through the edit template area), but I can never figure out how to get the URL for the PDF […]
Read MoreInserting a PSD into another PSD File
For the longest time I’ve been waiting for the ability to insert a Photoshop file into another Photoshop file.

Read MoreReference a Variable Outside of a Handlebars Each Loop
Once within an Handlebars each loop, you can no longer just reference a variable that is outside the loop. In the example below, the first ‘ParentVariable’ will render correctly, but the one within the “each” loop won’t. {{ParentVariable}} {{#each Users}} {{ParentVariable}} {{/each}} To use the variable within the “each” block, you’ll need to add a […]
