Then you create 7 classes

1. It all starts with “I don’t need a framework.”
2. Then you create 7 classes.
3. Now you have a small library of classes.
4. Then you create an application that uses your library.
5. It works and it’s fast, hurray!
6. Then someone asks you to extend the functionality of your application.
7. And they keep asking for more, and more, and more and more…
8. Now you have 43 classes.
9. You’ve learn so much in the last 2 years. Design patterns, security, performance, testing…
10. What once was a small library is now a big, ugly, un-tested, un-documented, scary framework.
11. Then you change jobs.
12. And you create another 7 classes…
This has been happening for the last 30 years.
Pirated Site
Posted by thinsoldier in Uncategorized on September 22, 2009
Came across this today in an e-mail from Kemis.net:
http://chrealtybahamas.com/
I just knew I had seen this before and I was right :
http://bahamaswaterfront.com/
CH Realty’s website totally ripped of the css and most of the images from Bahamas Waterfront Properties!
The footer on CH Realty says SolveITBahamas built the site. It turns out both CHRealty and SolvITBahamas were both built by Symmetrix Systems, a company out of east India.

XDebug option missing from Zend Studio 7…AGAIN!
Posted by thinsoldier in Uncategorized on September 21, 2009
I wanted to try out the Zend Studio 7 beta but AGAIN there was no option for XDebug showing up in the preferences despite the fact that XDebug works fine on my system.
I’m hoping it’s the same issue I had with Zend Studio 6. It seems Zend hates XDebug or something. People say PDT (upon which zend studio is based) works fine with XDebug but for some reason the Zend people chose to hard-code the XDebug option OUT of the Zend studio preferences.
After a lot of searching I finally tracked down remnants of the instructions that got XDebug to work in my old Zend Studio 6. I’ll repeat them here if they work for 7.
distreff – see dtaylor7’s post above yours for steps on how to get XDebug enabled again. Having a Mac, I started with the steps I’d worked out for PDT (http://www.makovec.net/software/39-software/55-eclipse-pdt-with-debug-on-leopard.html), then did the following from Terminal.app:
cd /Applications/Zend/Zend\ Studio\ for\ Eclipse\ -\ 6.0.1/plugins
mkdir disabled
mv com.zend.php.debug.* disabled
/Applications/Zend/Zend\ Studio\ for\ Eclipse\ -\ 6.0.1/ZendStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/ZendStudio -cleanAfter you’ve done all that from the command line, your XDebug options will be back. You can then quit out and go back to loading up ZSE from the desktop.

The specific commands that worked for me:
:: cd /Applications
:: cd Zend
:: cd Zend\ Studio\ -\ 7.0.0
:: cd plugins
:: mkdir disabled
:: mv com.zend.php.debug.* disabled
:: cd ..
:: cd ZendStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/
:: ./ZendStudio -clean
