I am realizing an interesting thing. When I work solely on my Macbook just with a mouse I get done much - and I mean it - much more work as opposed to when I work behind my desktop with a big 24″ screen.
It’s like with the big screen I focus too much on details - especially when designing and doing front end/GUI stuff. On the 15″ Macbook screen everything is more compact. Less information to process, more focus possible.
Interesting.
If you are looking to start a website or blog, then WordPress hosting may be what you need. WordPress is an incredibly popular Content Management System (CMS) which automatically manages site content like blog updates, but also has features form maintaining statics pages. Let’s look at some of the features of WordPress, and then see how to choose a WordPress host.
WordPress makes managing your blog simple by automatically taking care of all the technical details. You don’t have to know anything about computers, servers, or the technicalities of web hosting to run and maintain a WordPress setup. It has a full-featured text editor, and great software for allowing you to manage your content. WordPress is the most popular blogging platform, and is used by thousands of bloggers every day.
There are two ways to run a WordPress blog. You can sign up at WordPress.com for a free account, and let them host your blog for you. This is free and easy, but the free account has a lot of restrictions, and you don’t have very much control over your blog. For much more control, you can use the free download of WordPress from WordPress.org to custom install WordPress on your own server. This gives you a lot of power and control over your blog.
If you are new to blogging and you don’t know much about web hosting or running a server, then this can sound very complicated. Fortunately, many web hosting providers offer packages where you can have WordPress installed and maintained for you, so you don’t have to worry about the technical details. These web hosts usually use software like the cPanel hosting software or a similar package to make it easy to control your server using an easy to understand graphical user interface.
WordPress hosting is a great choice for anyone looking to start a blog. It makes the process of maintaining a blog simple, and there are a wide variety of free themes and widgets that you can use to customize your blog and make it unique. There is also lots of support available for it because so many people use it. WordPress is free, and open-source, so its options for growth, development, and extensions are nearly endless. WordPress hosting makes maintaining a WordPress blog even easier than it already is, so you can have a completely worry-free WordPress experience. Check out what WordPress today to see what it can do for you.

I am just studying ACLs in CakePHP. This is one of the most brilliantly written pieces of documentation I’ve read in my web dev career. And I don’t mean it ironically. Whoever written this - thanks man!
…really enjoying it. I have been doing unit testing sparingly for a long time, but just now I am really starting to take it serious. Every new functionality I add to a project/application I am working on I seal with sufficient unit tests. Also it’s much faster to develop and test business logic using tests than testing it trough GUI. I’ve been missing a lot!
I can’t believe the last post here is from May 2008. That’s quite a while.
So what have I been doing all the time? First off I got my first open source project going - Wildflower. It’s my vision of what a web CMS should look like, although that vision has and is changing along the way. I am really happy how it turned out, especially the responses from the community. People build sites with it and I really enjoy comments saying that it’s the most rapid to develop with CMS.
Of course, I’ve been busy with client work. Done some nice projects like Clever Twist, SunMaid Site, Picture Window Productions. All powered by Wildflower. I’ve also fucked some things up and learned how to really disappoint a client. These are as worthy lessons as the successes in my book.
That’s it for now, time to cook some launch.
