• OpenOffice.org annoyance: Cross references (en)

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

  I really like OpenOffice.org. Until now, it satisfied any of my needs quite fine. But since I am writing a book using OpenOffice.org, I found some really annoying stuff. Most annoying by now, is the problem of cross references. It happens almost in every text section, that I need to add a reference to another section of the book. For example, while writing about securing user data I want to point to the section of a database chapter, where prevention of SQL injection is explained. I basically want to add a reference like 'See section X.Y.Z, "SQL injection"'. [Read full post…]

• Ohloh becoming sensible (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:00:29 +0100

  Almost 1 year ago I blogged about Ohloh, and eZ Components being registered there. Those days I just found it funny to see how they measure the project cost of open source projects based on the ammount of code contained and things. Recently I am actively watching Ohloh and I think, by now it becomes a serious project with real value for every involved party. The maintainers added many new features to Ohloh, since I last blogged about it, and many contributors started participating in the service. So, I want to revise my "review" of Ohloh from the last year and explain how I see it by now. [Read full post…]

• "Virtual properties" (en)

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

  Jeff Moore posted an article on procata.com about getters, setters and real properties. I fully agree with him. Especially the usage of interceptors (__get()/__set()/__isset()/__call()) makes your API a lot more readable and comfortable, while maintaining the purpose behind getters and setters: Checking the correctness of values assigned to a property and wrapping around retrieval mechanisms for a property. I personally call the way of maintaining value-correctness for properties through interceptors virtual properties, which fits quite nice I think. [Read full post…]
