Yet another decade
Wednesday 30th of December 2009 4:11:07 PM

Wow, I feel old as I am about to see my fifth decade on this spinning rock. It's been a good one, probably better than the last especially in terms of new music.

I can't wait to see the expected reviews of the last ten years that will invariably show up in the media. I'm also looking forward to see what happens in the next decade, even though I can foresee an economic depression.

I wish to extend a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. Let's enjoy the last few days of 200x.

My first comic
Wednesday 16th of December 2009 2:01:51 AM

So I've always wanted to do a comic strip on the web but never had enough time. After working for way too long on my first commercial Microsoft .NET application I realised I have enough time to create a comic dedicated to it:

Fixed my web site

After a few years of upgrades to the hosting of my web site (PHP 4.2->5.0->5.1->5.2) and expected changes on the world wide web my site became pretty broken. I can now proudly say I have fixed most of the bugs on this site. The biggest problem was updating how I was aggregating news feeds, I only had to update my code to support RSS 0.91/2.0, RSS 1.0, RDF, ATOM "channel", and ATOM "entry". Yay for standards.

I need to vent
Monday 29th of June 2009 3:25:01 PM

Grr, f***, sh**, a** f***! I am setting up one of my PHP CMS's and was having trouble with non-ASCII characters. After pulling my hair out and endless googling I found the problem, htmlentities(). It turns out that htmlentities() is set to ISO-8859-1 by default and needs a specific parameter to be UTF-8.

I found this:

/**
 * Encodes HTML safely for UTF-8. Use instead of htmlentities.
 *
 * @param string $var
 * @return string
 */
function html_encode($var)
{
 return htmlentities($var, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8') ;
}
