htaccess Editor: create .htaccess files with ease

by Todd Ritter Feb 21st 2008

.htaccess Editor is a free Web 2.0-like tool that lets you quickly generate .htaccess files for your hosted website. To use, simply select a category on the left, and edit the parameters to your liking on the right. Then observe as .htaccess Editor sticks the proper code in the textbox at the bottom.

When you've set all of your parameters, simply copy/paste the generated text into a file that you call .htaccess and put it in the root folder of your website's files (something like "public_html" if you're using a hosting company) or a subdirectory of that folder. The tool lets you set things like basic authentication, redirects, default pages, error pages (like 404), and access restrictions.

Wow, they really need to add a blur() on their onclick so the dotted line goes away around the selected left hand menu item.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
