[胡言亂語] Bye Bye 2011

不知為何,2011似乎是比較乏善可陳的一年,一部分可能是我被Qt困住了一陣子,另外一部分是去年沒有動力做一些有趣的專案,但是基本的社群聚會還是有參加,大概這是唯一讓我覺得熱血的時刻吧...

去年第一次參加Startup Weekend Taipei,也在三天兩夜寫了一個利用WebSocket讓手機和瀏覽器互動的小遊戲,就類似COSCUP裡盛大創新院魏子鈞做的

去年最大的事發生在年底,人生有了一些階段性的變化? 總之希望2012能平安順利

[PHP] Warning: date(): ... date_default_timezone_set() ...

如果在code裡面用到date()或time()相關函式,出現以下warning:

Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Asia/Chongqing' for 'CST/8.0/no DST' instead in /path/to/code.php on line xx

解決方法就是在php.ini設定timezone

$ vim /path/to/php.ini

date.timezone = "Asia/Taipei"

或是在code裡面date()/time()呼叫前指定timezone

$ vim /path/to/code.php

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Taipei');

網路上找到的,用起來這個最順手,順便備份一下

[Tips] HTTP Proxy

由於有時候會需要測一些鎖IP的應用程式,例如Pandora,Hulu,Netflix等,大概不外乎使用VPN或是proxy取得國外的IP後才能開心的使用...

網路上的proxy一狗票,不外乎是先透過HTTP連線到對方的proxy再幫你轉導或是直接在本機瀏覽器指定對方的proxy兩種方法,可是常常不是因為對方的Proxy服務斷線,就是有時候連線到一半就會斷掉...

而還有一種可以先建立ssh連線的服務就很方便,大致上就是用10分鐘郵件在ssh center註冊一個帳號,就可以透過ssh tunnel快樂的使用24小時免費proxy服務
