How to Know if That Code is Cut and Paste

While doing some work for a client whose site has nothing to do with home furnishings I stumbled across this in the code:


$meta = array();
$meta['keywords'] = array(
  'furniture', 'home', 'furnishings', 'home furnishings',
  'accessories', 'bedroom furniture', 'living room furniture',
  'dining room furniture', 'sofas', 'furniture styles',
  'north carolina', 'high point', 'upholstery', 
  'kid\'s rooms', 'home entertainment', 'home office'
);

$meta['description'] = "Sherrill's exacting standards of 
   workmanship and exceptional attention to detail assure 
   the very finest upholstery available. New product 
   introductions at least twice annually offer Sherrill 
   customers an up-to-date selection of upscale looks and 
   the opportunity to choose from a variety of style 
   preferences.";


$brandsArray = array(	"SHERR"=>"Sherrill",
			"CTH"=>"CTH",
			"WS"=>"Whittemore",
			"MC"=>"MotionCraft",
			"PREC"=>"Precedent",
			"HW"=>"Hickory White"
			);

Ugh. Time to raise the bar folks.

Leopard Spaces Trick

I finally got around to installing Leopard on my Macbook Pro a few weeks ago. I love Spaces. But I was getting frustrated because I could only ever move a window from one space to another by dragging and holding it at the border of the screen for a few seconds. Today I discovered that all you have to do is click the titlebar of the window you want to move. While holding down the mouse button, use the keyboard shortcut to move it to whatever space you want. E.g. to move a window to space 4, click the titlebar, hold down the mouse button, and type Ctl-4.
