php, conference
I've been invited to upcoming PHP conference which will be held at Kaunas Technical University (KTU), but i haven't decided yet what topic should i cover? It's been a while since the last PHP conference. I have organised two of them my-self (with a lot of help from my friends, of course), but now i ran out of ideas.
During previous conferences (there were 4 of them) I've spoken about such things as PHP basics, PHP OOP basics, hierarchical data structures in relational database systems.
I've led two seminars for high-scool teachers about web developement with PHP.
Now i feel rather confused about what topic to choose. In upcoming conference there will be such topics as:
- Objects for work with databases
- Cacheing strategies
- Planning of PHP projects
- Security - situation of Lithuanian internet.
- Migration from PHP to ASP.NET
I'm still pondering...

coding, web, php, pm
...
Ok, so we're off with the portal, but at launch moment it didn't have PMs (personal messeges) feature. So my colegue helped me and made an awsome PM implementation (it's still under dev, though).
Of course we could have made it with IMAP back-end, but because of our cut on hosting and servers we're doing it SQL back-ended.
So normally one would do two tables (for inbox and outbox) and stuff one message into both tables. But my colegue came up with very brilliant and unique idea! Make three tables (read on...):
- One for all the messages (the 'container');
- One for INBOX (with message ids from first table);
- One for OUTBOX (with message ids from first table);
The first table with all the messages holds message id, text, sender, time, etc. AND additional field which states where message should be shown (or for a user sight - deleted/kept). If message is indicated as hidden (read: deleted) in both (inbox and outbox) it is deleted from 'container' as well. But to keep our server load as low as possible - there's cron'ed script for deleting all 'hidden' messages at midnight as well with other needless data (users that deleted their account, etc.).
Isn't that awsome?!

coding, php, web
since only 4 days left until launch of the biggest project i was working on it quite hardly. came up on some nice and not-so-nice things while developing.
first off: image cropper. half javascript, other half - php. i was looking for it some time (even two hours with google, which is very much) and found
this. very easy customizable. left the licence intact .P
next: lots of bugging with databases. added/removed some keys'n'stuff.
now: back to work.

ruby, php, editor
after friday's meeting with some of mine friends i got to switch to ruby. good opportunity for me to learn new scripting language ,) no i've got all needed stuff (ruby gems, ruby on rails, rad rails - the editor and all possible manuals, pdfs, and references). Am hoping to see the results quite soon.
jEdit is still my editor though free IDE (RadRails) for ruby on rails projects doesn't fit for my-so-beloved php projects.
oh.. and i just got to know that phpeclipse has LOTS of plug-in's (kinda lame of me, eh? .) anyway, i think jEdit is going to be replaced soon.
Any feed back about ruby, php or their editors and ides is really appreaciated!
