I'm writing a PHP/MySQL app for myself as both a tool I want to use, and a learning excersie for coding. The app is a very basic finance or budget tool. You can imagine already there will be a type of dated "register" that will list all my bills/debts and …

Hi guys, I'm looking for comments and suggestions regarding the use and place of jquery/ajax in site development. I know jquery allows a lot of cool stuff and so does ajax, but when a site becomes heavily based on these tools, the use of PHP dwindles. I am used to …

I have a Hp Laserjet 3030 all-in-one and it just started printing almost solid grey over the whole page. I tried changing resolutions and other settings, ran the printer's own cleaning cycle a couple times, nothing changed. Even on draft mode it still covers the page. It's not perfectly solid, …
