Symfony2 php.timezone check failing with MAMP PRO

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 23:09:15 -0500

If you’re trying to use Symfony2 with MAMP and you’re running the check.php file like the readme says; you’ll probably find that it fails the very first check for a timezone.

This is because running PHP from terminal will be using OS X’s PHP install. You’ll need to type:

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/php check.php

from the /symfony/app/ directory to use MAMP’s PHP.

Now to solve the problem of Symfony2 incorrectly detecting my APC version.

Do NOT change your "Download Region" on Steam

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 01:14:10 -0500

Right before playing an online game with friends, I thought it would be better to change my download region from Dallas to Houston in the Steam Settings, since I live in Houston.

Steam immediately asks for a restart, and then nothing I could think of would allow me to login again. I would simply get a “Could not connect” error. Offline mode was not even an option.

If you happen to have done this; deleting the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob fixed it for me. It will download some Steam updates, then prompt you for your password again. But it will let you login again also.

Hopefully that might help someone out there.
