Rebooting the iphone without touching the screen

Yesterday, I had a bug with my iphone that prevented me to use the touchscreen. Weird. No problem I though, I'll just reboot the damn thing and it'll be fine. Except you need the touch screen to turn the iPhone off. After a few manipulation and frustration, I found out that you can actually reboot the iphone by holding the power button and main button simultaneously for a few seconds. Handy heh.

PDO not throwing an exception when it should

Geoffrey — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 17:40:00 +0200

Today I ran into an issue that I already ran into a few weeks ago when I did not have time to dig up, but today I had this time (this plus it's a really annoying issue as you'll see). The main symptom is that PDO does not throws exceptions when you'd expect it to. It's very annoying. The reason, in my case, seems to be that I am querying an old mysql (3.23.x in my case but any 4.x will do according to this bug report). I was not able to find any info from google, so I'm posting this here so that people know :-)

SVN: MKACTIVITY Could not parse response status line.

Un petit billet pour un problème qui ne bénéficie que d'une faible visibilité sur google. Si votre client SVN vous jette avec un message du genre:

svn: MKACTIVITY de '/pwnd/!svn/act/a4eec923-2c2e-0410-a786-c01cbd856e8f': Could not parse response status line. (http://svn.phpmafia.net)

Vérifiez que vous n'êtes pas derrière un proxy, ça peut venir de là.
