Exploring with Wiki
Today I started reading a book (Extreme Programming Explained, by Kent Beck) that I borrowed from Brian (Kodehoved). It was inspirational. It brought a tear to me eye, literally. It makes me want to start the Test-driven development tomorrow. And I will. No procrastinating. And source code control. SVN > CVS, I think. But how …
Murphy’s Laws of Combat Operations

Folks are whining about spam in comments. I whine about spam sent by WordPress to me, containing links to the usual spam-bait. So, today, I concentrated a bit, wandered in the (rather clean, for PHP) code, and found my line. In the folder wp-includes/functions.php there is a function called wp _ notify _ postauthor Open …
Picking an Apache: XAMPP vs. EasyPHP
When you upgrade your localhost’s Apache (aren’t you running one?), and you switch from one PHP package to another, your PEAR might break. Mine sure did!
