A physicist by trade, Robert J. Lang also has a quite unique claim to fame as one of the worldâs foremost origami artists. In fact, he has a Pteranodon with a 14-foot wing span at permanent display at the Redpath Museum of Natural History and a long list of commissions and commercial projects waiting in the wings. And he uses his MacBook Pro, two software programs he authored, and Wolframâs Mathematica to help him conceptualize and map out each new creation.

Mike Wendland (Detroit Free Press) was âimpressed but skepticalâ at first. But the skepticism quickly passed after he had the opportunity to take MacBook Air out for a flight test. Itâs âan absolute delight to look at and to use,â but itâs âthe convenience of the MacBook Air that I think has been underreported,â Wendland observes. âFor the corporate worker who runs from meeting to meeting, this is the gadget you want. Itâs not much bigger than a legal pad in a binder. And, with Wi-Fi now being standard in most of the corporate world, you have full access to your calendar, your address book, e-mail and the Internet, so youâre never out of touch.â

Pierre-Alain Joye takes a look at building Cairo (a vector-based graphics library for PHP) on a Windows system.    While trying to get the cairo (and pimp) PHP binding ready to be released, I finally sit down and port Wez build cscript to cairo. It still needs some cleanup, a nice summary message but it works already. I tested it with Visual C++ Express Edition but it should work with other versions as well.   My next goal is to add the tests (nmake tests) and fix the nmake instal    He describes the process he went through to try to get things up and running, but is still having a few issues and has required a few tweaks to get it working. He also links to two resources: a ZIP of the development libraries and a ZIP ready to use package.

On the ThinkingPHP blog today, Felix Geisend&ouml;rfer shows, based on some of his own personal work, how to make printing simpler inside of a CakePHP application.    The web site I currently work on is going to be for the hotel where my step father is the manager of. One of the things that is going to be an important 'feature' for the site, is to make it printer friendly.   Since the new site has a very clean markup, I thought about simply creating an additonal style sheet for the media type "print". However, after thinking about it a little bit more today, I came to to the conclusion that I'm dealing with WYSIWYG visitors. So I decided to get a little fancier, and to create a PrintController, which would output printable versions of any site requested by /print/*    He gives the code for the controller and for the easy to use link to go over to the "printable version" of each page, hiding the none-printable information from the browser.

Stoyan Stefanov has a fun little post showing an interesting formatting trick to make reading arrays/hashes easier:   Writing readable code means proper indentation. Usually you'd tab (or use 2 or 4 or 3 spaces) after every curly bracket. [...] Same goes when you have a bigger hash/object sort of thing [...] But recently, inspired by Firebug's Net panel way of presenting header information, I tried aligning the keys to the right in addition to aligning the values to the left.   Check out the entry for examples of each of these techniques and see which might fit your programming style the best. Personally, the align right style looks nice but could be more of a pain than it's worth to force my editor into.
