Happy New Year!

Posted in General by site admin on the December 31st, 2005

It’s tough to feel that “close out one year, and ring in a new one” feeling, since i’m in the middle of a big project that spans accross the holidays into January. But to all who have had a nice break to reflect on the year past and the new one ahead, Happy New Year.

I wish you all health, wealth, and most importantly peace in 2006.

Askeet Launches

A mere 16 days into the Symfony Advent Calendar series, it’s subject application, Askeet, launches.

***note that the series is broken up into ONE HOUR segments, so what you see there is roughly 16 hours of work.

I’ve begun my own new application using Symfony, and I can not stress enough how amazing an experience it is.

If you’re a PHP5 developer who’s been toying with the idea of switching to Ruby on Rails, make sure you give Symfony a go first.

Anti-Usability

Posted in General by site admin on the December 5th, 2005

If a software user has to ask a developer to add a piece of functionality to their software that indeed already exists but was not obvious in it’s existence, should you blame the user or the software?
