While Firefox is definitely my favorite Browser for both, work and surfing at home, I always found the GUI quite overloaded. Everywhere are buttons and toolbars I never use that take away a whole lot of viewport space. So, in this article I will show you how to minimize Firefox’s GUI in a few easy steps.
Do you really use the remote that came with your MacBook?
Do you care how other people see your website? You should!
Here are my top 8 favorite Firefox Add-ons for web-development, everybody in our company uses these Add-ons to help them be as productive as possible.
Here is a little Photoshop layer-style that i made for a website I’m currently working on. I think it’s pretty neat, so i’ll share it with you 
You can use it on pretty much every shape, if you have a very small shape you might have to adjust is the stroke->size in the layer-style.

You can easily change the color by adjusting the Color Overlay of the layer-style.
To load the layer-style simply extract the archive you downloaded, copy the file glossyButtons.asl to Your_Photoshop_Directory\Presets\Styles and load it in Photoshop (”Styles” window -> load…)
I hope you like it.
I just want to share a link with you that is found earlier today.
On the website http://www.abuse.net/relay.html you can test whether or not your server can be used as spam-relay.
The website states that the application is “experimental” at the moment, but it is sure worth checking out.
Pretty handy if you don’t want to end up in anti-spam blacklists like spamhouse.org.
Today i want to show you a little trick that allows you to backtrace function calls (finding out which function called the function you are currently in)
Lets start with an example script, i will explain the details below.
This will output:
So, what the above script does is:
How it works
debug_backtrace() will return an array that looks like this:
So as you can see you have one array with multiple arrays in it, every array represents one level.
The array with the key [0] is always the function that calls debug_backtrace() - in our case logIt(), the lowest level.
Key [1] is one level above the one that is calling debug_backtrace() - in our case getThisName(). If there a more levels, there will be more arrays, one for every level.
So you could say $backtrace[2] to get the details of th function that called getThisName.
This means you can backtrace very complex function calls, wich will help you to debug your php scripts.
I hope this information was useful for you, i use it pretty often since i found out about this great php feature.
