That was a question I had this morning. Took quite some Googling to figure this out... A very large number of people had asked the question of how to change the address the e-mails got sent to. That was easy and actually logical to figure out (look at your own contact information in Address Book).

Now, changing where iCal sends messages from? The messages I got almost all came from different e-mail addresses.

Then I found it! iCal sent its messages from the account that has been selected last in Mail (or has been defined as the default from address for Mail).

Who came up with that?! To me, it seems far more logical to define a different from address for every calendar defined in iCal...

Tonight, Twitter user Chris Smith suggested using redirect headers instead of using GD to render the image.

This didn't even occur to me, when I started with this idea. It is much more elegant and does not need the GD library. Continue reading to see the new code!

Random forum avatars

Today I felt like changing my avatar on one of the forums I frequently visit. I then thought it would be fun if I could have a random avatar, chosen from a directory on my server.

After about half an hour of experimenting and Googling I came up with something that works reasonably well. The only thing I need to look at is the increased JPEG compression that is very visible in the images, after they've been through the PHP script.

I finally went from Typo 5.3 to the newest (at the time of writing) version: 5.4.2.

This really is easy, but I had to do a bit of Googling and look at very small pictures to see what I had to do. Therefore, I've taken pictures along the way and written this little guide.
