Sorry to mention that I decided to terminate the Coders Cult forum for two main reasons…

  1. I can no longer maintain it
  2. It’s more spam than code

It ends with 2009 but this blog on the other hand will be revitalized this 2010!

I’ll make this short and quick. I’ve been searching the web for a Javascript sleep function that works and came across this.

Bluefish is a pretty good editor for programmers and web designers which supports syntax highlighting for many languages – PHP included.  While I do like it, there is one little problem when it comes to highlighting PHP code that contains HEREDOC syntax.

Google is very well known in the search industry but over the years, they have grown to become bigger than that. Google is no longer just search. It’s now almost synonymous to innovation. In times when others try their best to keep their house as clean and as presentable as possible, Google somehow decides to just demolish the entire house and build a new and better one.

It’s a sad moment for many Linux lovers when Linux evangelist and Linux.com editor Joe Barr passed away last night – July 11, 2008 – in his home. Many will miss Joe but probably not as much as his wife Susan. They were married only last year but knew each other for more than 10 years according to Linux.com.

I have to be honest with you guys that I don’t really use rapid development frameworks such as CakePHP as I am a hardcore type of programmer who loves to write his code in a text editor but I have to admit that they do make application development a lot faster.
