Humanize date differences in PHP (like facebook - Eg: 2 days ago, 14 hours ago, few seconds ago).
#!/usr/bin/env php
# This function prints the difference between two php datetime objects
# in a more human readable form
# inputs should be like strtotime($date)
# Adapted from https://gist.github.com/207624 python version
function humanizeDateDiffference($now,$otherDate=null,$offset=null){
if($otherDate != null){
$offset = $now - $otherDate;

Run IE 7, 8, and 9 in Mac OS X
# the admin password for all of the IE VMs is “Password1″ without the quotes, it's also used for the password hints
1) Install VirtuaBox on your mac
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.10/VirtualBox-4.1.10-76795-OSX.dmg
2) Decide which versions of Internet Explorer you want to download and install – each version of Internet Explorer is contained within a separate virtual machine that runs within VirtualBox. In other words, if you want to run Internet Explorer 7, 8, and 9, you will need to download three separate VM’s, which may take a while so keep that in mind. Select the text below and copy it:
# Install ALL versions of Internet Explorer: IE 7, IE 8, and IE 9 (for now this script will also pull down a IE 6 vm with windows xp)
