Here’s a simple function to parse RGB string (#00ff00) into array, so it can be used in GD functions.
Hope it can save a little time for you.


list($r, $g, $b)= parse_RGB("#123456");

function parse_RGB($color)
{
$r= hexdec(substr($color, 1, 2));
$g= hexdec(substr($color, 3, 2));
$b= hexdec(substr($color, 5, 2));
return array($r, $g, $b);
}


Just helped my wife to migrate her firefox profiles. She only need to migrate the bookmark and remembered password, other stuff is worthless.

Here’s the steps:

• Locate where the profile is:  refer to this article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder
• Start firefox profile manager from command line: firefox -pm
• Create a new profile, and set it as default profile, close firefox
• Copy the following files from old profile to new one: bookmarks.html cert8.db key3.db signons2.txt
• Restart firefox and enjoy

I use Remote Desktop to connect some dell servers, and the default background image is slooooow.

So after a few  minutes research, here’s the solution to remove it.

1. open regedit
2. goto  [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
3. empty the value of wallpaper
4. enjoy!

To make my life eaiser, I created a reg file, so just unzip and merge it would make your life easier too
empty_wallpaper.zip

However if you’r concern about the safty, here’s the contents of the file, so you can create your own reg file easily.
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
"Wallpaper"=""
