IPhone 4 Screen Replacement Checklist.

Replacing anything else on the IPhone 4 is probably easier than replacing the screen, thats because unlinke the IPhone 3 you have to take just about everything out to get to the screen on this model. You Tube videos will generally give you a good idea of how to pull it all apart, but theres about 26 screws and a multitude of parts you have to deal with. Its a good idea to use a checklist as you go to guide you through the process. I like to sticky tape the screws next to each task as I run down the checklist, then I run through the checklist in reverse to put everything back in the right order.

Please feel free to use my checklist as a guide to making your own checklist ;) download here -> iphone4 checklist

Local Network XAMPP with WordPress

XAMPP is a linux / windows  tool that auto installs Apache, PHP, Mysql + more services all in one tidy package. Installing WordPress is also pretty straight forward, simply copy the WordPress folder into the htdocs folder in XAMPP.

Before you can begin using wordpress youll have to start up the XAMPP control panel and make sure the apache and mysql services are running. You may also have to open port 80 or allow XAMPP through your firewall. If everything is running correctly you should be able to visit 127.0.0.1 and get the XAMPP config screen.

You can setup your passwords under the security tab using the http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php link

once you have set your sql password youll need to log in to phpadmin using root and the SQL password you just entered. Use the phpadmin interface to create a new database and user.

You’ll have to go into htdocs/wordpress/ folder and edit the wp-config-sample.php file. Change the default Database details to your SQL DBNAME, USER and PASSWORD and save the file as wp-config.php.

Now you should be able to visit /yoursite/wordpress/wp-admin to setup wordpress.  Its important to use an external ip address to access your site. i.e dont use localhost or 127.0.0.1 doing so will probably wreck worpress themes, links and graphics on your site. This is because when links refer to localhost/myimage.jpg , the browser expects to find myimage.jpg on the local machine, not the server.

Internet Explorer Vs Firefox

Cool ChartWhen I first started developing web stuff around 2000 the general consensus was that netscape / mozilla wasnt very popular. 90% of Internet users were browsing with Internet Explorer, so I was quiet happy to code my projects without any real thought to that 10% of other browsers. Nowadays however almost half of Internet users are using firefox according to Axiis-w3School.com. Click here to check out the statistics!
