Family tree stuff
My old man has been getting into finding out more about our family history. Most of his research so far has been by talking to one of my second cousins in Lowestoft who as already done a fair bit of digging. Through her he’s found out that his Mum originated from Cheltenham (I always [...]

Today we stepped off the property ladder with the sale of our house in London completing for the asking price and with the money that we’ve gained over the last 10 years of house price inflation being placed in a high interest savings account. Our feeling is that the worst that’ll happen is that we’ll lose [...]

Hard work. Kurt and I attempted so see the entire piece last night at the Barbican. We managed the first half which was 1.5 hours and whilst being in awe of complexity and the sheer effort being used to manually repeat the same chord for 45 minutes without a break by half time we could face [...]

Francios a core member of the Symfony team recently blogged about the 20 most popular plugins of the Symfony project based upon page views. That list is: sfSimpleCMSPlugin sfGuardPlugin sfPropelActAsNestedSetBehaviorPlugin sfMediaLibraryPlugin sfSimpleBlogPlugin sfSimpleForumPlugin sfFeed2Plugin sfgWidgetsPlugin sfThumbnailPlugin sfUJSPlugin sfControlPanelPlugin sfFormValidationPlugin sfMogileFSPlugin sfLightboxPlugin sfCaptchaPlugin sfNiftyPlugin sfPrototypeWindowPlugin sfPropelLoadbalancerPlugin sfSavvyPlugin sfYzClientSideValidationPlugin I find it very interesting that the ’simple’ ones are all in the top 6 with the CMS one - which is very new - already taking up top spot.

I recently got wind of a new workshop on The Multipack’s forum called Transcending CSS being presented by CSS don Andy Clarke of Britpack, and this book fame.
