Debugging with PhpED and DBG
As long-term PhpED user I’ve always been well aware that I was not making the most of some of the more powerful features of my IDE, particularly the debugging capabilities. Well this week I finally got debugging set-up properly and as per most of my other blog posts I’m listing what I did here for [...]

28. September 2007
I have Office 2007 and I have Adobe CS3 (on Vista). Adobe CS3 comes with Acrobat and Acrobat Distiller but I’ve not been able to get Word 2007 to play nicely with either so I can create PDFs from Word like I used to. I was about to sit down and fix the issue once and [...]

16. September 2007
Whatever your opinion about HTML emails if you are charged with writing them then you’ll definitely want to make sure that they are as consistent as possible across the board for desktop and webmail clients.

16. August 2007
Here on our dev servers we turn PHP error reporting full on so we get to know of any issues with our code well before it hits production (where errors are turned off).

15. August 2007
Francios a core member of the Symfony team recently blogged about the 20 most popular plugins of the Symfony project based upon page views.

14. August 2007
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. Not sure what bribes they used to get him doing this but it’s definitely happening and I’ve already booked my place before they sell out. I also really [...]

2. August 2007
I was recently asked if I’d sucessfully got the Symfony plugin sfSimpleCMS working and I’m afraid my answer was no. I had tried briefly when preparing for my talk, but something didn’t work and I carried on with other things. Being reminded of it and having an hour to kill before I head off to the [...]

30. July 2007
After recently passing the 1 year milestone I’ve decided to bite the bullet and take on a couple of extra resources at Siftware increasing the headcount to 5. The aim is to free me up to spend more time on managing this and other business interests. I don’t do this lightly as it’s a huge [...]
