  • Mass assigning images to products in Open Cart

    Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

    Whilst working on an e-commerce project for a client we found that we had to add the same 3 images to over 200 products. Now, compared the Zen Cart, the Open Cart admin dashboard is relatively easy on the eyes and intuitive, but it would still take a fair amount of time to manually assign the same 3 images to each product. I wrote some SQL statements to take care of the job in less than 5 minutes (although I did spend a long time trying to do the job in one statement, but was unable). So if you want [...]

  • Is Google Chrome Killing Your MacBook’s Battery?

    As I mentioned in my previous post, I made the switch to a MacBook Pro for work purposes. After having a chat with some friends and doing some checking around on the web for confirmation, it seems as if using Google Chrome was killing the battery on my Mac. I wasn’t expecting the advertised 7 hours, but at least around 4-5 hours of web browsing time. So, you can imagine my disappointment at getting only 2 -3 hours when using chrome. It seems that for most typed of animation Chrome switches to using the MacBook’s dedicated graphics card, which in [...]

  • [Solved] Flash and Firefox on Mac not working properly

    Saturday, October 15th, 2011

    I recently made the switch from using a Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) set up to using a 15″ MacBook Pro (Feb 2011 model). For most of the work I was doing, including web design, the mac seems to handle everything fine. However, I had a few issues with the Firefox and Chrome. With Firefox, flash just seeemed to appear as scrambled lines on the screen and I could barely watch videos or see any displayed data (e.g. in Google Analytics). After some careful Googling the fix that seemed to work was running Firefox in 32 Bit mode. Apparently, this is [...]
