The ?Birth of a Site? Project
site,
birth
Am I the only one that feels like web development is a tug of war? Nearly project I?ve worked on seems to have: the ?suits?, who have a vision for expanding the business but couldn?t give a flying hoot about the quality of their code developers, who often care deeply about the code but don?t gi...

funny
Sometimes I?m stupid enough to subscribe to some online marketing newsletter. I got two this week from different ?marketers? whose content was almost identical.

It reminds me of this bash.org gem: Start the sentence with ?Linux is gay because it can?t do XXX like Windows c...

Run IE6, IE7 and IE8 on the same machine
technology
Need to test your site in multiple versions of Internet Explorer? I just downloaded DebugBar and was beyond impressed. With a couple clicks, you can open a url in a single tabbed window with all IE versions 5.5 through 8. Grab it here. Two years ago I endorsed Multiple IE, but unfortunately they?...

Drupal Sucks
technology
Edit: First followup posted. Are you choosing a Content Management System for your next site? Allow me to throw in my two cents against Drupal. In theory, Drupal is a CMS that lets you control your site out of the box. In practice, it?s a nightmare to configure and maintain. I recognize that Drup...

What are your shortcomings as a programmer?
technology
What embarrassing shortcomings do you have as a coder? I find that I often need reference material when dealing with: File permissions (chmod) Regular expressions (Apache rewrite rules, Ruby regexes etc) Does anyone else feel the same way? Do you have any good tutorials that can rid me of these...

I?m all over the web except here these days. Two highlights of my week: Working with the awesome JuicyOrange to launch the Global Debt Clock for the Economist. Fun to play with, but it will depress you if you are American or British. Guest post over on Geek Feminism about sexism on social news ...

Upgrade to Symfony 1.2: Have your layouts stopped working?
technology
I had a Symfony 1.0 app and I finally decided to make the leap to 1.2. Lo and behold, this mysterious error cropped up: Notice: Undefined variable: site in /path/to/myproject/apps/site/templates/layout.php on line 10 If you?re upgrading from 1.0, you may suddenly notice that you get these ?undefi...

Symfony, Doctrine, preSave and postSave
technology
My new Symfony app calls a remote web service as part of the user creation process. Since this is intimately linked with the model (I want this behavior executed for my fixtures, too) it makes no sense to call the web service from the controller. Like Ruby on Rails, Doctrine has some handy built-...
