• A GTK2 UI for PHPUnit (en)

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

  For my current exam phase at university, I wanted to have some tiny project where I can play around with, without caring too much, just to relax a bit in the evenings. When Kore infected me with some strange PHP-GTK virus ;) and someone mentioned on IRC, that it would be time to have a GTK UI for PHPUnit, I decided to take this one. So I played some hours with the PHP-GTK extension and voila, here we go with a first running version of a GTK driven test runner for PHPUnit. [Read full post…]

• Comments back online (en)

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

  Mi friend Kristian from eZ Systems noted this morning, that comments on my blog were disabled. That was actually an accedent, because I shutted down comments some days ago to stop a spam wave and forgot to switch them on again. I now re-enabled comments and trackbacks. If you ever want to comment on one of my posts and find comments disableds, don't hesitate to send me a mail about it! [Read full post…]

• That's why I pay so much for a notebook... (en)

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

  Yesterday (and today) I had an experience, which showed me once again, why I pay so much for a high quality notebook. During our (currently daily) learning sessions, the keyboard of my 1.5 years old IBM Thinkpad T43p lost it's backspace key. Somewhat annoyed I opened a support call on the IBM website (luckily, IBM has 3 years of guarantee) about it and (while having the chance) I added anothe issue with the notebook I now had for about 2-3 months. This one was, that I had a bunch of weird light-gray dots on my display, which actually looked like tiny liquid splashes. I was not able to kill them with a towel and therefore added the phenomenon to the support call, too. Anyway, I did not expect IBM to react on that issue, because it simply did not look like a guarantee issue to me. [Read full post…]

• PHP Documentor for VIM documented (en)

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

  Because I had a talk about how to use VIM in respect to PHP source code editing, I took the time during the week, to write some extensive documentation for PDV, the PHP Documentor plugin for VIM. Additionally, I documented my VIM file type plugin, which is also available through the SVN of PDV. Take a look at the README.txt to learn more. [Read full post…]

• Horde Groupware Webmail Edition (en)

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

  I like Horde quite much, it provides a comfortable web mailer (IMP) and some nice extra tools which give you a really comfortable groupware feeling with it... if you manage to set it up, once. By now, this has been quite a pain in the ass, which is why I did not upgrade my installation for a longer time. Though, now it was time to do so, because I already missed several security updates and bug fixes. [Read full post…]

• Apache vs. Lighttpd: "echo" performance (en)

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

  For a little private project, which makes extensive use of caching, I recently checked, where I could get gather some more performance from. Kore told me, that Lighttpd ships all of the pages of one of his projects in about 0.001 seconds, while mine still took 0.004 seconds on Apache. After some tracing I found the actual point of problem: The echo of the final output, which took most of the time. I tried to run the same project on Lighttpd and guess what: There were the 0.001 seconds. [Read full post…]

• eZ components on Ohloh (en)

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

  I tried a several times to get eZ components (and other eZ projects) into Ohloh. Ohloh claims to do "Mapping the open source world by collecting objective information on open source projects", which fits the website content quite well. If I got the basic project idea correctly, it should give managers an impression on the quality and usability of open source projects. Since managers usually want to have "hard facts", Ohloh tries to masure numbers it can extract from various public project data (e.g. from SVN). [Read full post…]

• Qmail and PHPs mail() function (en)

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

  While working with the eZ Mail component, for sending some emails comfortably, I noticed some issue with my Qmail installation. With some email accounts that received the emails, the headers were broken and had double line break characters, so the complete email was broken. That (weirdly) happened only with some servers (e.g. Gmail), while my own server handeled the emails gracefully. [Read full post…]
