Music recommendations
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007
It’s hard to come up with great new music when you have specific tastes, you don’t listen to the radio, don’t watch tv, and all you ever read is on the internet. I feel a bit frustrated inside when asking a person what kind of music do they like, and they respond with the ambiguous “Everything”, or “All types!”; but, later, they will modify that answer with some exceptions (they are inevitable, right?). So, I’m thinking on rephrasing that question to: “What kind of music makes you want to leave the place immediately?”. Should work a lot better.
VIM settings for PHP Programming
Friday, December 21st, 2007
This is a religious topic, so let’s get done with it quickly:
colorscheme slate
syntax on
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
Cheers. :)
Getting the right mode for an LCD monitor (in GNU/Linux)
Friday, December 21st, 2007
Usually, setting a new debian box with fluxbox as a desktop environment, is fast, easy, an uncomplicated (if you have done it 10 times already). What I didn’t know, was that using a widescreen LCD monitor would mess things with my usual setup.
The first problem you notice, is that the fonts look awful. At first, I thought it was something to do with anti-aliasing, but changing resolutions with xrandr showed me the real problem.
My development environment
Sunday, December 16th, 2007
Some of my comrades at work look at me in awe (alright, more like with a “WTF? are you insane” stare) when I tell them that my preferred php ide is Notepad++ (plus one of the proggy fonts). I do use gVim too, when I’m on debian (with fluxbox!).
I wonder, is that really unusual? xD
If I couple my tabbed Notepad++ interface with 2 or 3 explorer windows, I have all I need for web development. I don’t think I have to mention Firefox, and all the incredible extensions available. I really don’t. This post mentions some of the essential Firefox add-ons, and some that I didn’t know at the time I read it.
I know that Zend Studio, APtana, PHP Designer, or PHP Eclipse (this has a specific name I don’t remember), are one of the tools I should be using according to the majority of my fellow programmers. However, all I want is syntax coloring, and perhaps a debugger. So yeah, I’m looking for a minimalist editor that provides debugging facilities for PHP. xD
