If you want some custom made ringtones, chose your MP3, convert to M4A, rename the file to M4R then drag it in iTunes and sync. That’s it.
Under linux I’m using for the conversion stuff soundKonverter, but you can choose your preferred software…

If you have to use Xdebug but you don’t want to “going crazy” with manual building from sources or with pecl, you can download a binary version of Xdebug from the ActiveState website (get the PHP Remote Debugging archive for your OS and use the binary version according your PHP version).
Nice gift ActiveState!

If you have your vm hosted on a NTFS partition and the mount.ntfs-3g is eating all your CPU power, try to update the NTFS 3G to the last version and add to your .vmx file this config line:

The cool […]

Attualmente, uso almeno 3 sistemi operativi quotidianamente (Linux/KDE, OS X e Windows) e solo di […]

Allego una versione italiana di questo post al fondo.
I’m using right now Adium X 1.0.1 with three IM accounts (ICQ, MSN and Google Talk). This great software uses the same GAIM libraries for managing the IM connections.
