![]() The other key component is the Zend Studio Server, which provides remote debugging capabilities for servers running PHP and includes tools to set up and manage the PHP subsystem. Zend Studio includes CVS integration (Code Versioning System or Concurrent Versioning System) so you can work in a group development environment with the Zend Studio Server. And a really neat feature is that when the mouse "hovers" over a variable, its value is displayed. In debug mode you can step through the code execution - you can step "into" functions, step "over" a function or step "out" of a function. ![]() When you edit scripts, Zend Studio manages indentation, provides code completion, highlights the syntax of PHP and HTML coding in color, does smart bracket matching and generally helps to keep you on the straight and narrow.Īssuming that you have PHP installed, Zend Studio can run your application. Zend Studio can examine the files in a project and warn you of files that are supposed to be included but haven't been added. The project configuration files are stored in an XML format. You can edit single files and create and modify projects - essentially a group of files. It's a pretty complicated interface but one you can get used to quickly, and you can hide any panes you want. It also has panes for monitoring script output, debugger trace and tracking watchpoints, breakpoints, variables, the stack and the output buffer. It presents a multipaned interface divided into areas for editing, exploring projects, exploring the file system and exploring the functions within files. Zend Studio is an advanced, integrated development environment designed for PHP coding. It finally took the combined resources of the highly trained Gearhead laboratory staff and Zeev Suraski, one of Zend's founders and the designer of PHP, more than two hours to figure out what was (or wasn't) going on. And it's interesting that as you start to search the 'Net for discussions of IIS configuration problems, they are everywhere! But in the course of this review, IIS made life amazingly difficult. Yes, yes, we know, either: A) you've run IIS in your shop for years and have had no issues and we must be complete weenies to have any problems or B) you want to give Gearhead a high-five. It is simplistic where it needs depth, obscure where one would have thought clarity was unavoidable and complex everywhere else. In our less than humble opinion, IIS is a bloated, overengineered mess. ![]() So after three weeks of PHP you're just itching to do some serious development, right? Of course you are! And this week we'll discuss a set of tools for doing that: Zend Studio and Zend Studio Server from Zend Technologies.īut first, a word about Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS).

His visuals aided by rich graphics are highlight. Cinematography by S Gopal Reddy is strength of the movie. Writer J K Bharavi wrote better dialogues but his screenplay is regular. Rao Ramesh as villain is decent he mouthed the dialogues in seema accent. Pragya and Jagapathi Babu are there for a song each and two scenes. Jagapathi Babu, Pragya, Vimala Raman and others appear in brief roles. The scenes between Nag and Saurabh as devotee and Lord are highlight of the movie.Īmong many other actors, Anushka gets lengthy role as Krishnamma but she is just okay. His handsomeness, his young face, his makeup and getup is perfectly suited. New actor Saurabh Jain is 100 percent suited to the role of Lord Venkateshwara. Nagarjuna has done the role with so much ease as he has mastered doing such devotee characters. But the story doesn't end there with the appearance of Lord, there are some more turns and twists. In the process, he impresses Lord Venkateshwara Swamy, who comes down to play dice game with him. After reading this, he vows to put everything in order - the poojas, the sevas, the amenities for devotees. On hills, he meets Krishnamma(Anuskha), a devotee of Lord Venkateshwara, who asks him to read the Venkateshwara Kshetra Mahatyam.

While the new sharing features make sense for teams, it doesn’t make sense for individuals to spend $5 on this service every month. If none of those points resonate with you – especially the part where you don’t want to pay $5 for a sync service just for text expansion and if your text expansion needs are fairly basic, you should probably switch to another app. RELATED : How To Add A Folder To The Favorites In Mac Finder: A Step-by-Step Guide Should You Leave? – You want to take advantage of the easy sharing features added in this update or you’re looking forward to the new Teams tier and future updates. – You think the cost of switching will be far more than paying $5/month. – You’re already used to the plethora of productivity iOS apps like Drafts or Editorial that integrate TextExpander snippets and let you type more efficiently. – You’re too used to some specific pro features like intelligent snippet suggestions, document fill-ins to let it go. – First of all, and it’s the big one, you don’t mind paying $5/month for the TextExpander service. Here are a couple of reasons why you might want to stick it out with TextExpander. TextExpander has gone full-on Enterprise. TextExpander also added a whole new tier ($9.95/month) for making it easier to store and share snippets between teams.ĭear I love you & have used you since “Textpander”, but there is no way in hell I’m paying $5/month. This is something users could already do using Dropbox previously. With TextExpander 6 for Mac, TextExpander 4 for iOS and surprisingly, a new Windows beta, TextExpander has released its own, secure web service (along with a website) for storing and syncing text snippets. TextExpander now costs $4.95/month (Or $3.96/month if billed annually) and doesn’t add any new superbly useful features to make it worth paying $5 every month. And this is one of those few times when the outrage might not be entirely unwarranted. Like Automator, you can use it in combination with other tools on this list to do more advanced things.When Smile announced that their super useful, $45 text expansion utility TextExpander was switching to a subscription model, the internet (or at least my Twitter feed) did not take it well. I connected it to a 15-year-old GameCube controller, and it handled it just fine. It works on a reasonably low level-supporting individual button and axis IDs-so it works with nearly every controller out there. It’s handy for games that don’t support controllers, or just any time you’d like to use a controller to move your mouse around. Just plug your controller in, hit the button you want to bind, and then hit the key to which you want to bind that button. It only has one function: connect your controller to your keyboard.

The best part is that Automator is free and comes bundled with macOS, so there’s a lot of community support for it, as well as many prebuilt scripts and workflows.Īutomator also works seamlessly with almost every other app on this list, all of which can run Automator workflows. This lets you do anything you can with Automator at a click of a button, instead of having to open the context menu.

You can check out their getting started guide for more info.Īutomator and Shortcuts: The Built-in Solution Hammerspoon doesn’t do anything except sit in your menu bar until you write scripts for it. While it’s a little more advanced than some of the other apps we include here, Hammerspoon offers a powerful way to communicate with the system at a reasonably low level-it can intercept USB events directly, control local devices, and even automate your mouse and keyboard. Mostly, it’s just a menubar app that runs Lua scripts and extends system actions to those scripts through its API. Hammerspoon is probably the closest you’ll get to AutoHotKey for macOS.

The appeal of this is humiliation and objectification. The Dom can then attach a wide range of toys and objects. They can also have a strong psychological impact due to the amount of restriction they give. They are a popular choice for humiliation play because muzzles are associated with animals. This muffles the sub more than most gags, because the mouth remains closed. However, they also have head harnesses that prevents the sub from opening their mouth. If you enjoy your BDSM a little more hardcore, a muzzle gag might be your thing. These have a panel of material, usually leather, that completely covers the mouth, and a strap that fastens around the back of the head. In the movies, the hero comes to rescue the girl, but in BDSM fantasies its just as likely that the damsel is taken by the villain. It's found in many movies where the girl is kidnapped by the bad guys and bound. Scarf or tape gags are popular during damsel in distress type role play. ![]() It restricts speech and can somewhat muffle the sub's voice. Tape has the advantage of staying in place. A scarf can also be pulled between the teeth and tied in the back. This method is easily removed by the sub and often comes off during play.

There are three basic categories of gags, with many types of gags within each category. They can be used as a form of restraint, humiliation, and as a part of role play. For the Dom, it's a way to exercise control. It creates a sense of helplessness and vulnerability in the sub. There is something incredibly sexy about them. |
