  • New domain

    I’m migrating my blog from my old domain to a brand new domain, skoop.dev

  • A fresh look

    Under the hood some things have changed as well. Most application code has been moved into plugins in anticipation of some other technical changes I’m planning for the future. There’s some slightly better caching here and there, and I’ve got some administrative improvements done. All in all, I am quite happy with this new release…

  • A look back

    January January my focus was mainly on the birth of Yara. A great experience of course, something truely special. It was also the month my podcast introducing symfony was published on the Zend DevZone though, and the month I received my Zend PHP5 certificate. February In February, I shared my experiences with the new Zend…

  • Twitter This is only a minor feature, and more something purely for promotional purposes, but as I post a new message, this is automatically being posted in my Twitter account. Just a nice and easy notification service, really. I didn’t even re-invent the wheel by writing my own Twitter code, but used the Twitter interface…

  • Left on the Web v4.0.3

    The main changes in this update is a more readable weblog post screen. I’ve added some whitespace that will hopefully make the page a lot more readable (thanks Davey). And another thing that was fixed was the comment order. There was a bug making the comments appear in a weird order. Anyway, it’s again a…

  • Left on the Web v4.0.2

    The homepage in itself could’ve warranted a bigger version jump, but I felt it too early to bring a v4.2 and besides this “feature” was planned for 4.0 in the first place. The homepage is a better starter into what this site brings I think that having the weblog on the homepage. It also makes…

  • Left on the Web v4.0.1

    I just deployed version 4.0.1 of Left on the Web to the server. It’s a minor update, a bugfix release. Just wanted to share some findings: There’s some bigger chances that I want to implement, but they will come some where in the near future.

  • It’s not that Textpattern is bad or anything, but it just doesn’t use the coding structure that I like and am used to, and so adapting it to my wishes was a bit hard. And since finding out about symfony, the problem maintaining software is gone, since at least in my experience maintaining a symfony…

  • Rebooted!

    Yes, the site is rebooted. Slighty later than planned, but you can’t have it all. The new design is less standard than the previous one. I did start out with a standard template, but I started altering and customizing it. You’ll still recognize the basics, but the colors and some other details have been changed…

  • After moving to Textpattern, I had one tiny little problem: Everyone that subscribed to my RSS and Atom feeds wouldn’t know about the change. Luckily, zeroK came to the rescue. He suggested to use mod_rewrite and even helped me compose the write mod_rewrite code for it: ??RewriteRule ^rss.xml$ /rss [R,L]????RewriteRule ^atom.xml$ /atom [R,L]?? I tried…
