Vintage Vespa for sale

They are available in many colors for more or less 6500 CHF (4384 euro), I suspect them to be restored in Asia. They are restored correctly and can be as such be use daily.
The yellow metallic was having no prize, the anodization is ok but not perfect for my eye. In France at least, it is forbidden to drive a vehicle with is fully metallic. Anyway the look was great!

Hack a Dell Mini 9 to be able to run OS X

dell-mini-inspiron1 MAC-OSX-Leopard

There are a lot of netbooks on which you can install and run OS X, but if you’re mindful of the handy comparison chart those lads at Boing Boing Gadgets have compiled, you’ll know that the Mini 9 is about as ideal a platform as you’ll find for a Hackintosh ultraportable: Everything from wi-fi, sound and the function keys down to the optional integrated mobile broadband card and the SD card reader are supported and work as they should. No hardware compromises at all. It’s awesome. read this very nice tutorial at www.gizmodo.com

And it seems a lot of net book can are able to run with OSX, as it can be seen there

Joomla! php, FastCGI, blank page and duplicate header ‘Status’

joomla_cms

Since months, now I (understand also YOU) receive some blank page when browsing my Internet homepage.

This strange behavior seems to occur only when having PHP running as FastCGI

FastCGI is a protocol for interfacing interactive programs with a web server. FastCGI is a variation on the earlier Common Gateway Interface (CGI); FastCGI’s main aim is to reduce the overhead associated with interfacing the web server and CGI programs, allowing a server to handle more web page requests at once. [WikiPedia]

The Apache logs are quite explicit:

[error] [client x.x.x.x] FastCGI: comm with server “/srv/www/cgi-bin/php5” aborted: error parsing headers: duplicate header ‘Status’

The error is located in the file /libraries/joomla/environment/response.php, at the function JResponse::sendHeaders()

The way header has to be send is different when using PHP FastCgi, strange that #Joomla! 1.5.9 still do not have this in main stream code…

Old code

 function sendHeadersOld()  {   if (!headers_sent())   {    foreach ($GLOBALS['_JRESPONSE']->headers as $header)    {     if ('status' == strtolower($header['name']))     {      // 'status' headers indicate an HTTP status, and need to be handled 
     // slightly differently      header(ucfirst(strtolower($header['name'])) . ': ' . $header['value'], null, 
     (int) $header['value']);     } else {      header($header['name'] . ': ' . $header['value']);     }    }   }  }

This is how it should look like, code is backward compatible, if PHP run as an apache module.

 function sendHeaders()  {   if (!headers_sent())   {    foreach ($GLOBALS['_JRESPONSE']->headers as $header)    {     if ('status' == strtolower($header['name']))     {      // 'status' headers indicate an HTTP status, and need to be handled 
     // slightly differently      $attribute = ucfirst(strtolower($header['name'])) . ': ' . $header['value'];            if (substr(php_sapi_name(), 0, 8) == 'cgi-fcgi') {        $attribute = str_replace("Status:", "HTTP/1.1", $attribute);      }      header($attribute, null, (int) $header['value']);     } else {      header($header['name'] . ': ' . $header['value']);     }    }   }  }
