Why PHP 5 Rocks!







Why PHP 5 Rocks!

Why PHP 5 Rocks! 07/16/2004 06:52 PM

Adam Trachtenberg provides a quick tour around PHP 5, highlighting seven of his favorite new features. These features (including better support for OOP, bundled SQLite, iterators, and more cool stuff) will allow your PHP 5 code to be more concise, more elegant, and more flexible than ever. Adam is the author of the upcoming Upgrading to PHP 5.

KDE Rocks


KDE Rocks 02/10/2004 10:34 AM

When I first used Linux in the mid-90s, I used GNOME instead of KDE, since KDE looked kind of clunky and you couldn't do a lot of configuration on it.

With the more recent releases, KDE looks just as good as GNOME, and seems (to me at least) to have a greater depth of features.

The NewToLinux wiki has a new series of articles up called 'KDE is so Cool Because...' that takes a look at some of the more in-depth features of the new 3.2 release of KDE. I've used KDE for a while now, but a lot of this stuff was new to me. Like Managing your web site as though it's on a local hard drive? Or instantly turning a directory of pictures on your local machine into an online gallery? Very cool stuff. It's a wiki too, so hopefully more folks will post some cool tricks.

The Tea Here Rocks


The Tea Here Rocks 12/02/2003 12:17 AM
One of the cool things I've discovered is the Tea served at the Yahoo Bangalore office. After getting situated in some unused cubes this morning, Rasmus and I were just catching up on some e-mail and stuff when a guy came by and offered us tea. That's right. There's a guy who comes around to all the cubes and offers tea. Cool, huh? Unfortunately, the tea has milk mixed in with it and I'm lactose intolerant. But after a couple...

Nickolas Landry surprises us by calling in and heckling Tim. Rory does the Google Weirdos and News of the Week. Carl scraps the Linux Vulnerability of the week (it was time). Richard Campbell (the Toy Boy) reviews the nVidia GeForce 6800 (as well as a not-so-cool toy) and Carl gives one away to a lucky listener! All in all this was a great show!

Cleveland airport gets Wi-Fi from SBC: I should really have left this item to senior editor Nancy Gohring, who hails from within spittin' distance of Cleveland, but SBC FreedomLink is now the operator of Wi-Fi service at that town's airport. The interesting twist in this installation is that there will be Internet kiosks in the airport as well as the SBC service. I've had mixed feelings lately about posting every single airport announcement, especially as smaller markets have become unwired: at some point, just another airport is just another airport, unless you live or work near it. It's a fundamental problem with covering wireless in general and Wi-Fi in particular as it matures. There's more and more news, and it starts to blur into much of the same. I see sometimes a dozen stories a week about a small town that gets its first Wi-Fi-enabled cafe, or another community project that unwires a park or public area. This is just to say that the proof of the success of the top-down and bottom-up movements in wireless communication are starting to permeate all media. When I appeared on a local NPR affiliate to talk about Voice over IP (VoIP) and Internet telephony on their morning program recently, the host needed a technical primer in VoIP, which is quite new to most people, but through around Wi-Fi and wireless terms with great abandon and fluency....

Steve Gillmor wonders if Sergey is listening.  A very nice, timely, and enjoyable article, Steve.  The problem is that people who see you as a rock, instead of a road, are more likely to be thinking about ways to get around the rock than listen to it.  Let them realize too late that rocks can roll.

Three Taiwan Golden Melody Award winners, including a famous singer and composer, Yue-hsin Chu, and a group of enthusiastic young Christian musicians have come up with what they call their first native gospel album- JESUS ROCKS.

JESUS ROCKS is the first Asian album using a Creative Commons license (a Taiwanese Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike).

JESUS ROCKS covers diverse styles, such as rock’n’roll, folk, blues and funk. So it is suitable for different generations to listen.“

Trac Rocks 06/24/2005 03:05 PM

Came across an absolutely excellent web package today that's making life a lot easier for me when working on the Core Data conversion for Notae. Trac is a Python-based solution that brings together a Wiki, an issue reporter database, and your Subversion repository into one integrated tool without bloat.

No, really.

I'm working towards beta on Notae (just going to get the old features in the new body for now) and this will be an amazing tool for getting things organized. Well worth checking out for those burned by Mantis' over-flexibility for smaller projects.

In the second half we talked about Rory joining the MSDN evangelism team, Visual Basic .NET 2005, CLR 2.0, Windows XP Service Pack 2, and Web site security. Joe did a session at TechEd 2004 called "How Hackers Hack" which was the number two highest-attended session! This was a great talk with a very talented developer-turned-evangelist who keeps it real every day.

GarageBand ... rocks !!


GarageBand ... rocks !! 01/07/2004 05:37 PM
Lots of buzz today about Apple's iPod-mini, but for my money the highlight from yesterday was GarageBand. Great product and a great demo from Jobs and John Mayer (who I'm only luke warm on but he gave the demo some legitimacy). This is the kind of app that makes people shift platforms. I'm a mediocre-to-bad acoustic guitar player, but I'd still love to tool around with GarageBand. The other MacWorld item that looked good, though overdue, was the update to iPhoto that apparently allows it to overcome it's 600-or-so photos/library limitation. Apple is saying it handles 25,000 with speed. When...

Their RSS feeds just got a whole lot more useful. Craigslist has always impressed me, but now it impresses the hell out of me. :-)...

T-Mobile rocks


T-Mobile rocks 01/22/2004 03:04 AM

I'm in a car on my way from Zurich to Davos happily blogging on my T-Mobile gprs connection that is roaming over Sunrize in Switzerland. When I landed, I had trouble connecting to Swisscom, but "611" and two rings later, I was connected to a friendly T-Mobile support person speaking in English and she gave me other roaming partners to try. Sunrize connected without a hitch. In Hawaii, Frankfurt, Helsinki and a little hiccup, but one call later in Switzerland, T-Mobile has consistently kept me connected. Also, the support people have been EXCELLENT and I haven't had to wait more than a few minutes on the phone.

I'm a happy camper and I'm SOO glad I didn't pick ATT.

HTML Tidy rocks


HTML Tidy rocks 09/27/2004 12:45 AM
For a little while, in an earlier test version, we had embedded HTML Tidy in NetNewsWire. We ended up not needing it—but I still want to say how cool HTML Tidy is.

The thing was, we needed a way to create valid XHTML. I knew about HTML Tidy, but I expected it would use the GPL license, and so we wouldn’t be able to use it.

I went and checked it out anyway—just in case, on the long shot that it was cool to use it—and, to my surprise, it was.

But then we also needed it to be easy-to-use. I didn’t want to spend hours learning some complicated API, I wanted something easy, where I could say: “Here’s some tag soup. Please give me back some valid XHTML.”

To my delight, that’s pretty much how it worked. Very easy.

The last thing we had to worry about was performance. Was it fast? Yes, it was. I couldn’t perceive a difference between when it was on and when it was off. (Of course, timing tests would show the difference, but a user would never have noticed it.)

So, to the HTML Tidy folks—even though I didn’t end up needing it—I present a small bouquet of <flowers />.
