phpBB3 sends password in the clear
I recently had a client complain about phpBB sending their registered password in the clear.
It’s easy to fix, simply edit these two files to remove the password field:
language/en/email/user_welcome_inactive.txt
language/en/email/user_welcome.txt
Extracting data from the iPhone Simulator
I wrote earlier about extracting data from the iPhone backup – something very useful for backup & debugging purposes.
Developers can also access the Simulator’s data, and no extraction is needed:
~/Library/Application\ Support/iPhone\ Simulator/User/Applications/
(~ is unix shorthand for /Users/yourusername)
The cool thing is that because no extraction is needed you can even edit the data in-place, e.g. using sqlite3. And, you can copy your live data from your iPhone (extracted as per these instructions) right over the simulator data. Very handy indeed for GPS Log!
Neat.
If you have lots of sample apps it may be hard to find which is yours, use grep to filter the list with the current day, then there’s at least less to wade through. Chances are the directory with the most recent timestamp is your app.
ls -la | grep “21 Jun”
Power Adaption – Solved
I was chatting with my mate Paul earlier this year about the power adaption issue and we came up with a neat (but in hindsight obvious) idea – rather than taking 2 plug adapters for 2 devices, take a power board, or double-adapter, that way if you are visiting multiple countries with different adapters you only need 1 plug adapter for each place.
I decided to take 2 double adapters, on my RTW trip – they are smaller than a power board, and can be used in a 2x or 3x capacity (generally I just need one in the 2x), in China which has Australian points everwhere, they are useful just on their own as well.
