After installing the SWF Tools module to upload and playback some SWF files in a site, I found I coulnd't upload files bigger than 8MB. At first I thought using FTP for the file upload, but the SWF tools does not allow the user to set the URL of the file. Instead trying a more elaborated solution, I just changed the following 2 values in my php.ini file:

upload_max_filesize=15MB
post_max_size=15MB

establishing the maximum amount of MB allowed per file attached to 15MB instead of the original 8MB.

Hope this works for you!

Hahaha, one of the best images I ever seen, vía product page. I totally want one of these.

Paraphrasing to Augusto Monterroso, I thought about an engineer's epitaph:

He wrote a programming languaje: They said he thought he was Dennis Ritchie
He wrote an operating system: They said he thought he was Linus Torvalds
He wrote a virus: They said he thought he was Robert Frankie Morrillo
He wrote a SQL languaje: They said he thought he was Don Chamberlin
He wrote a videogame: They said he thought he was Alexey Pajitnov
He stopped writing: They said he thought he was Bill Gates
He wrote an epitaph: They said he thought he was death

Just registered in and I'm at the "The Themer’s Toolkit, Emma Jane Hogbin" conference, nice, interesting tips about how to theme Drupal by using several apps like www.browsershots.com and www.zothero.com

After so much struggling, I finally resolved the screen issues with my Dell XPS 1330 with Ubuntu 8.10 installed, after upgrading from ubuntu 7.10 and then 8.04.

Let me explain:

I installed Ubuntu 7.10 and everything went really smooth, just had to tweak it a little to get the desktop effects to work properly.

Then I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04, and the problems started to appear. First the numeric keyboard wasn't working neatly, but could figure out how to fix it. Then I realized that nor the screen resolution on my external monitor, or the advanced effects were working right.

So, ever since I upgraded to 8.04 the screen was awfull, I tryied almost every solution in the forums, but none worked.

El otro día iba manejando por la calle y terminé atrás de un camión que cargaba arbolitos de navidad. Cursi, pero por varias cuadras estuve oliendo los pinos en una mañana fresca y con sol. Como si la navidad fuera caminando por la calle. =)

Me encontré este comercial impreso en la "Revista Interamericana Visión" del 28 de Enero de 1977... se me hizo interesante.

Right now I'm really sad.

My brand new Ubuntu 7.10 Instalation went without any hassle. Just an amazing OS, robust and filled with a lot of amazing apps, and even with an amazing eye candy like the desktop cube and all that stuff, linux was perfect, just perfect.

Then, I upgraded to ubuntu 8.04... the multi screen support went off, but WTH, it's still pretty usable, despite the akward screen resolution... but still usable. Even having to fix the funky thing with the keyboard still usable...

Then, I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 and everything went wrong... My DEL XPS 1330 stopped working, both the external screen and the keyboard... after trying to fix the keyboard, the external screen and the resolution AND the desktop effects quitted working...

My very own Windows Vista distribution don't work for me... it's very slow, takes ages to copy files between media, crashes everytime I try to open IE... and linux is like an exotic sports car, with variable suspension... but with all the fairings stolen.

... sad

P.S. Maybe I should buy an MacBook
