Because it’s been awhile since I last surveyed the landscape, I played around a bit with web frameworks this weekend. Mainly, I tried getting something simple working with the Zend Framework. After intermittent play and much studying of documentation between Saturday and Sunday, I got to “hello world.”
Unlike other web frameworks of late, [...]

Although I have my grousing about PHP in general, I have to say that it makes much better template language as-is before pulling something like Smarty into the mix.
At this point, I consider Smarty to be evil—though I’m willing to admit that I haven’t grokked it fully yet. And this is coming [...]

You know, not that I’ve been at it for long, but I’ve had an long-running observation about PHP:
As a language and an API, PHP kinda stinks. It’s got more crud than I left behind in Perl, but without all the meta-magic that made it worth it. And, I get a little nervous tic [...]

Just in case it’s already been done, or I don’t get around do doing it, hear me oh LazyWeb:
I want to cobble together a version of IPython (or at least an InteractiveConsole) that runs on a network socket for access via telnet. I then intend to upload this to my XBMC-equipped Xbox [...]

Say hello to my new Trac installation!
For a couple of years now, I’ve been meaning to take a serious look at Trac. But, general level of busy, as well as random obstacles to getting it up and running kept me from getting very far. Such is so often the story with me.
Finally, though, [...]

Both ZPT and XSLT very different technologies, but they are often used in similar contexts. More than once, I’ve wished that XSLT was as simple as ZPT (i.e. less verbose and intrusive, more document centered), and I’ve wished that ZPT had some of the features of XSLT (i.e. ability to be used as a transforming filter).
I’ve just dumped what code I have into my CVS repository. So, go ahead and poke fun at it.
It’s a new feed aggregator, my third attempt at such. Everything is clunky and command-line driven at present–but I’ve got further plans, like a REST API for feed queries and manipulation of various things such as feed subscriptions and the read/unread state of items. Pair this with an XSLT-driven browser UI, and the possibility of other clients (not the least of include other Atom-consuming aggregators).
The goal is to make a Client/Server Aggregator.
