My current project I’m building with the Zend Framework and I needed to be able to use the fckeditor.
Integration is extremely easy using a helper with the framework.

I was searching around the net for information on Zend Framework and phpDoctrine and came across Php Taco.
At first glance, I was pretty excited to see how it was setup (Zend Framework, phpDoctrine, Modular layout, etc) as this is basically how I have my zf projects setup.
As we all believe, men and women have different opinions when compared to the opposite sex, so lets put it to the test 
This post is how to save a personal word list to TinyMCE’s spellcheck, or Add to Dictionary as I prefer to refer to it as.
As you might know, TinyMCE is capable of spellchecking, but what if we want to add a word to the dictionary so that the word never comes up again as a typo? After spending some time with Google, I never found a solution to my liking, so I had the unpleasurable task of adding the functionality myself. To my surprises, it was much easier that I expected.
Hello, I recently posted on my first impression on Django.
Generally, my first script for trying out anything new is a bookmark script because it can be as simple or complex as you want.
Before starting, this post assumes you have a working install of Django. I would strongly suggest looking over the tutorial here for a more in depth explanation as to what everything is doing. This post is only a mile high overview and is to simply show some of process of creating a project along with the (minimal) amount of code it takes.
The other day, my wife and I were discussing a friend of ours.
She is seeing a guy who is, to put it bluntly, a dead beat.
She is now starting to get tired of dealing with him, but is simply afraid of being alone, unable to find a guy.
Now this is what sparked this posting. I (like most guys) simply do not understand women.
I pointed out to my wife, that men are very quite simple. As men go, we are quite primal in nature. All a woman has todo remember three simple things.

I was recently working on somebody’s computer – WOW!!
This posting is simply to show how much the environment a computer is in effects everything.
About a year ago, I setup a fileserver for a friend using an old computer they had laying around (old, old duron). About a month ago I get the computer back because it stopped working. The system simply would not boot successfully (perhaps once out of every 10 tries).
I spent this weekend checking out Django.
I have been wanting something for personal projects for rapid development.
I am a strong believer in using whatever works best for the task at hand.
First, a little background:
We use Symfony where I work. While symfony is great, it is very resource intensive (we run a few dozen ecommerce sites with a database holding around 200 tables storing many gig of data) – so, in reality symfony really does fit the project. The downside is everything is running on multiple, mulitcore servers sitting on 8 to 16 Gig of memory.
While I cannot justify a beefy server setup for my own (or a clients) project, I do enjoy the benefits of using a framework.
I have been developing with the Zend Framework for outside projects and really do like the features available, but the biggest thing Zend is missing is a crud generator (I have even started building my own).
In my latest search to see what was out there, I came across a post comparing Symfony, RoR, and Django here. Like any opinion, it must be read with a grain of salt. I can however relate to the performance mentioned regarding the symfony framework. From past readings I was not very interested in RoR, so that left Django (which from the poster had the best performance).

We all knew it would happen sooner or later.
Here’s the beginings of linux on the iPhone.

Today I decided to switch my blog over to wp.
As much as I hate wordpress due to crazy resource usage, the fact remains that nothing compares to all the features and themes available.
I have reposted one previous post I had written “Trying Zend” and it can be found here.
