Dreaming of DawnIt's been a month since I've written, more actually. And I have been busy. I like to be organized. I think it has something to do with the fact that my brain is, well, mush most of the time. I have four kids, two cats, and a husband to keep track of, plus all the household …
Ah, I'm such a good girl I finished on time...well after a seven day extension (hey, I spend a week in arizona with four kids...) And I even kept the story under 10,000 words! How did I manage that? Well I kind of "pushed" the ending a bit but it was just a short story so.... …
So I've been working on some command line tools and wanted to add some color to the text (red for fail, green for pass... Testing ya know?) Now most console tools allow you to use something called ansi escape codes. The right code and, voila, red text on a white background. This is a pretty basic …
When perusing php-planet today (or is it planet-php and why can't I ever remember?) I ran across an interesting article about changing from zend studio to komodo.
Well now, remember how I said that I loved Edin? I reiterate that statement. Look what he did yesterday. Wahoo, now if they'd just fix the branch link on the snaps.php.net page all my grumping would be finished... (why is it pointing to 5.1 instead of 5.2 when the snaps are all 5.2?) Actually, this is …
Html_Ajax now has a fully functional xml serializer. I spent the day writing an example and messing with the few javascript items that needed to be fixed. I'm still hitting a strange bug with Internet Explorer (of course) that makes me scratch my head, but for the most part it's working great.
I haven't touched my brother's little project HTML_AJAX in quite a while. First of all I haven't been doing any AJAX, secondly I had some bad experiences with (rather annoying) users when I did help out. But tonight I got bored. Why am I such a flighty person? I "fixed" a couple of bugs for the …
I go to bed after cheering the fact that 5.2 pecl dll's are being compiled and with a complaint that two I use all the time failed...
I love edin - no really I do. He's so good to us (admittedly nutty) php on windows users. Snaps of php are something I use all the time - heck for a long while the php 5.1 snaps were more stable then the official 5.0 releases (that was a weird time). And then they came …
Unit testing is something that every project really should do - so you can see where things go wrong. So as I consolidate some of my junk into callicore I'm trying to make it easier to keep track of. I'd almost like to use trac - but there's something in my soul that rebels against using …
Digging around in my mounds of code I have a couple of things I want to consolidate into the callicore library -
What? I like the name - and the pretty butterfly - so I'm using it for my personal code project.
Kalfu is dead - I deleted the svn and mailing lists (after archiving a copy of the code), the domain name will expire tomorrow
All hail the mighty Andrei and hardworking Steph - and many others who have been banging away at php-gtk2. They've finally reached the glorious moment of a zeta release.
Well, I did some looking for a simple, assert style testing framework - maybe one or two classes is all I wanted. The closest thing to what I wanted was simpletest but my goodness - it isn't so simple anymore. Like phpunit(2) it's become a behemoth. So I suppose I'll have to quick roll my own.
This is a rather long and rambling post so don't worry if you get lost...even I did at times.
I'm not sure if anybody reading is interested, but for your information shitennou.com is having a ficathon again.
What's the one thing moveable type has that causes people to flip from wordpress? Multiple blogs "out of the box". However, there are a lot of people (like this) who would like that support. (Just like there are a lot who would like some db abastraction) I looked around a bit and found that there are …
I want a computer that is intelligent enough to say "hey, my RAM is crap and needs to be replaced" or "my motherboard is having issues, get a new one" - instead I get a magic Blue Screen of Death (TM microsoft) with a useless stop error. So I'm quite aware that somewhere on that machine …
Well, I made it to the 19th - my c-section is scheduled for 12:30 this afternoon (weird time I know) so I'll be offline for a few days while I'm in the hospital (oh for a hospital with wireless access - hehe).
I hate being pregnant. It's not that I don't want to have a baby or anything, it's the physical junk that goes with pregnancy. And unlike some women who have perfect pregnancies and feel great I tend to get every bad "symptom" known to womankind. I'm a freak of nature. It sucks. Humans should procreate like …
Yes, I'm alive...well barely. I'm currently as big as a barn and my brain is constantly off in never never land. I'm happy to report that the remodeling project has finally made some progress. The walls are up, the plumbing is done, everything is mudded and painted, now we're to floors, trim, closets, and installing bathroom …
My youngest has a suspected case of fifth disease - also known as "slap cheek" and some unpronounceable latin thing. Poor guy feels awful but since it's viral there's nothing to do but wait until he's over it. It's not exactly the best thing to be exposed to when you're pregnant but since I'm almost term …
I started making lists of stuff I need to get done before the "big day" (which, by the way, is April 19th unless I try to go into labor sooner). It's amazing how messy my house has gotten, I simply haven't had the energy to get the work done. Doesn't help that the sun is shining …
