Zend Framework - more stupid idiocy to deal with |
May 29, 2008
It seems you're not allowed to use Zend Framework's doctype() helper in a layout file like the docs clearly show. When I tried to use it in my application's layout, my form helper calls would render non-standard HTML. In particular the closing forward slash for my input fields was missing. When I asked the Zend Framework guys about it I was informed the doctype() must ...

Zend Docs.. much suckage |
May 28, 2008
Don't count on the Zend Framework documentation to ever be very accurate. Within 24 hours I've uncovered two case sensitivity issues: http://www.nabble.com/layout-content-not-rendering-to17504992.ht ml and: http://www.nabble.com/helper-%27DocType%27-not-found-to17516508. html If they can't get the simple stuff right, why on earth should anyone have any trust ...

VirtualBox "no workie" after kernel upgrade |
May 27, 2008
Ubuntu released a new kernel version recently without also releasing a matching VirtualBox kernel module. Like me, you probably got an error message like: VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED). A pain, but easy enough to work around, here's how: Clean out the exiting "Ubuntu" version of VirtualBox: dpkg -r virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-16...

Get the next MySQL auto_increment id using ActiveRecord |
May 22, 2008
I see this come up on the Rails list from time to time, so I figured I'd document it here as a blog entry. To get the next auto_increment id from a MySQL table using ActiveRecord: @next = ActiveRecord :: Base . connection . execute ( " SELECT auto_increment FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_name='foo' " ). fetch_hash ['...

Simple git setup for new git users |
May 11, 2008
I recently set out to learn more about git, the new content manager for source code. "New", as in much younger than Subversion , and a hell of a lot younger than CVS ! No one I know personally uses git yet, but I see the Ruby on Rails community starting to use it a bit, so I decided I had better get up to speed. Being the sole developer on my own Ruby on Rail pr...

Zend Framework, Model Validation? |
May 8, 2008
Today while reading what little traffic arrives to the Zend Framework list, some poor user posted this: How would you go about displaying a custom error message when a sub form fails validation? i.e. I've overloaded the subform's isValid() method to add some custom validation thats reliant on a combination of all the fields in the subform, if this fails I'd like to pass a...

Linux Today pages are now 100% Ads |
May 7, 2008
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_Today_pages_are_now_100_Ads'; Just when I thought Linux Today couldn't get any worse , it did: There now appears to be zero content living among all the ads. It quite hilarious. At this point I've unsubscribed from their RSS feed and will be getting my Linux news elsewhere. Thanks for nothing.

Zend Framework, What Database Abstraction Layer? |
May 7, 2008
Today while reading what little traffic arrives to the Zend Framework list, some poor user posted this : I’ve just gotten access to a clients NetworkSolutions hosting account and tried uploading an application to it only to find out that despite having php 5.2.4 it doesn’t have pdo_mysql or mysqli extension installed. Is there any hope of changing the adapter to some...

Nine Inch Nails - The Slip, Sucks |
May 5, 2008
Digg.com informed me NIN had decided to give away, as in "gratis", their latest album, "The Slip". W00h00, right? Wrong. Down in the comments section on Digg, someone noted how it's very likely Lars Ulrich is going to be pissed about the album being free of charge. But after listening to the album twice today, I assure you this, much like all NIN albums, is complete crap. ...

Linux Today pages are 99% Ads |
May 1, 2008
Has anyone noticed lately how the LinuxToday.com pages are simply covered with ads? It's practically unbearable: Maybe 1% of this screen shot (the part I drew a red circle around) is part of the actual news article I went there to read. The rest of the page, the ads, is useless crap. For a site that doesn't even write most of it's own content, it's insulting. ...

Book Recommendation: 
C++: The Complete Reference covers everything from keywords, syntax, and libraries, to advanced features such as overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, namespaces, templates, and run-time type identification, plus there's a complete description of the Standard Template Library (STL). I found the book incredibly useful even when making really complicated programs because of the fact that it has everything in it. I can't really stress that point enough. Seriously, if you're getting a C++ book you are planning on actually using, you really should get this book. |
