June 2003 Entries
Whenever I have to come up with an initial color scheme, it almost always makes me crazy. I suspect this is the same for most developers, I usually have the voice of Deforest Kelly pop into my head stating, "I'm a Developer, not a Decorator!" (what do you mean you mean
you don't hear voices in your head...)
Do you use Host Headers in Apache or IIS? Do you have your sites in a DMZ or a behind Firewall using NAT? When adding a new site, I generally add an entry in $WindowsSystem32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts to point to the
internal IP of the site. If you ever forget to do this then try to get to the site, your DNS will most likely cache an entry for the
external IP. Even after adding it to hosts you can't see it.
Well, I have to say, I reluctantly agree with this. Even more, I think you need to (expertly) know at least 3 languages to even be considered competant any more. With the onset of
Project Mono and it's moving out of beta soon, I really think C# is going to explode as a language of preference, so even though I always say "I can do anything in VB that C# can do..."
As I was getting more and more frustrated using phpMyAdmin for working on drupal's mysql database (it would refuse to browse some tables as for reasons why I still have no idea) I did an
apt-cache search (yes I only run debian on my linux servers)
phpmyadmin. Much to my surprise the return results included "
eskuel - A MySQL databases administration interface in PHP-scripts"
Why can't we pass something, anything a string, etc. along with the current connection. Setting something like the workstation ID will prevent the connection from being pooled properly. Maybe this can happen at a later time.

I like many others have to interop with other operating systems in distributed systems. While the bulk of my work is done in DotNet based Client/Server architectures, I also have to interface to UNIX, Linux, Sun, and even Mac. It is my belief that to really understand these technologies you must USE them.
I noticed something about the way Drupal was syndicating XML output, it had no ability to add images or copyrights to the rss. I made a patch to fix this and submitted it for inclusion in the drupal cvs version.
