• Funny speed considerations (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  The fact that type save comparisons (ala ===) are faster in PHP than the normal comparison operator (ala ==). The reason for this is simply, that PHPs loosly-typed-ness-auto-cast-code is not even touched with ===, AFAIK. So, if you did not know, yet: [Read full post…]

• Making the kernel (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  Since my new baby is not fully working under Gentoo, yet, I'm updating my kernel each time a new version of gentoo-sources occurs in portage. If you are configuring your kernel by hand, you know what that means every time (at least for me it did): [Read full post…]

• My new notebook (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  After 2 years of really satisfied use of the IBM/Lenovo T43p I decided that time has come to upgrade. When the T61p was released by Lenovo some weeks ago I felt that this would be the right for me and so far I did not regret it until now. While I read/heart a lot about Lenovo quality constantly dropping I cannot confirm this. [Read full post…]

• Do your docs suck? (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  A week ago Sebastian pointed out an article on LinuxJournal, which talks about documentation coverage. By the question "Isn't that exactly what tobyS' tool does?" I felt remembered, that I wanted to blog the little tool I wrote for eZ Components a while ago. Since this blurb was lurking in my blog for another week, you get my writings a little more belated.

  When I returned from vacation, which already wasn't as relaxing as expected due to priate issues, I directly returned to a huge mess, which you might already have been noticing by the downtime of phpunit.de website. [Read full post…]

• My first book! (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  More than 4 month of intensive planning, writing, coding, correcting, drawing, rephrasing, more writing,... to keep it short: A huge lot of work and much more even than we expected, after so many people told us, that writing a book would be a huge lot of work. Anyway, although writing was hard beside university, normal work, conferences, girl friend, and other commitments, Kore and me managed to have the world wide first eZ Components book in the final correction phases right now! *jump``*`` While Kore already wrote a chapter for a collaborative work, this is the first book for us 2, which we write completly on our own and for me even the first real contribution to a book overall.

  A really need to do a good friend a favor, because his website is really cool, although not in a technical sense, but for it's contents. Don't have something for your fathers birthday, yet? Try here! He has some really neat stuff and for every father the right gift: If it is the eatable underwear, a carrera racing trail, a special six-pack cooling bag or a disgner grill for the barbecue-party.

• I love namespaces (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  While I have been waiting for namespaces support in PHP since the early days of PHP 5, the recent proposal by Dmitry looks very promising to me. I really like the way, namespaces are defined and used. Especially the use of "::" for namespaces. This way of handling them looks much more intuitive than any other operator proposed so far (yes, I know, characters don't matter). I did not dig into internals of this proposal, but the post about it seems to be well-thought and the concept looks promising. [Read full post…]
