Busy is good – but not being too busy. Recently I feel like I having been a bit too busy. A long time now me and my partner have been working on a new Swedish event guide. Completely written in Zend Framework, using MySQL as database and Sphinx as full text search engine. These tools [...]
10 years of English blogging
Even though I’ve lost my earliest blog posts due to an early domain change as well as a later change of blogging software I have been blogging about PHP and web development here for almost 10 years. As it is just over one year since we started our Swedish company Dotvoid AB I felt it [...]
Inspiration time
I stopped working as an employee to work both on my own projects and as a freelancing consultant almost two years ago. This last year has been more like a roller coaster than anything else before. From spending very little time on my own projects while working as an independent contractor on debt collection systems [...]
Weather, photo sharing and PHP
I have been working on some really fun PHP projects with some really cool people the last six months. This has kept me busy both day and night so, naturally, blogging have not been a major priority. After creating a new Spanish photo sharing site fotos.es which took a few months we started on a [...]
Company, work and conferences
As mentioned earlier I moved with my family from Sweden to Spain for awhile. To complicate things further me and my girlfriend Malin created a new company called Dotvoid AB focusing on web sites and applications based on PHP. (So expect things to change around here in 2009 – though no timeplan or schedule exists). [...]
I have moved
I have been away from blogging awhile. Life has been really busy lately and I have sold my house and moved, with my family, to Fuengirola in Spain. Hopefully now that daily life is again back to normal I’ll blog a bit more. Maybe I’ll talk a bit more about daemons, asynchronous I/O and CodeIgniter [...]
Wishlist
As it is nearing Christmas I started thinking about things I would like to see in the PHP world. I don’t have time to write down a long wishlist but a few things would make me a happier person.
Faster Eclipse/PDT/Zend IDE
Builtin, reliable, refactoring support in PDT
A good (good === simple and extensive) tutorial on using [...]
First OpenCoffee in Karlskrona
Yesterday we had the first OpenCoffee in Karlskrona at the new place Bistro Java. The initiative came from Martin and Christian at Svensk Webbutveckling. Really nice guys even though they seem to prefer strongly typed languages over PHP. We had a good chat about both business and web development in general as well as technology [...]
Statistics
Last week we launched a new beta of our Swedish TV guide. It used to be based on Zend Framework 1.0 and has now been completely rewritten and upgraded to version 1.6.2. We didn’t seem to have any difficulties moving from 1.5 to 1.6 during development.
The framework is getting better and better even though I [...]
Slowly coming back to life
Well, I have been gone from blogging for quite a while now. Much have happened since the last post. Most notably is that I quit my job to focus on my web development company Mesh. This resulted in a huge increase in the workload for a while. Things are settling and work is now more [...]
