[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');

[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

[Embedded] Arduino

wiki上的介紹:

Arduino是一個基於開放原始碼的軟硬體平台,構建於開放原始碼simple I/O介面版,並且具有使用類似Java,C 語言的Processing/Wiring開發環境

最近在COSCUP看到這好玩的東西,而本次的COSCUP也邀請了David Cuartielles (Co-Funder of Arduino Platform)做Keynote:Arduino in the DIY Classroom,相關的演講還有使用Arduino開放平台建置智慧型插座,羊逃成熟時-以Arduino開發的互動設計商品與RepRap 3D Printer

網路上有許多不錯的資源,目前我看到繁體中文講得最詳細應該是arduino.tw台灣使用者社群和Arduino入門教學這一系列的文章吧,未來有其他資訊再繼續補充吧
