mike b pointed me to this bizarre article from IBM's daniel sabbah describes lamp as "going to have to grow up at some point". err, right. because lamp clearly doesn't scale. it's not like the biggest websites in the world use it. ryan tomayko's response is on the mark. »« 12:40 02/07/05 | permalink | lamp ibm linuux apache mysql perl php webdev yahoo

at least someone took my comments about PEAR's failing to heart. »« 17:24 13/09/04 | permalink | code php

what. the. fuck. i did a "pear upgrade-all" and it first failed because of dependencies. fair enough - stupid that it didn;t automatically install the dependency, but forgivable. but then once finished, pear was broken because it used php 4.2.0 only features. how fucking stupid is that? the people in charge or pear are braindead idiots. »« 17:26 11/08/04 | permalink | code php

stupid stupid pear doesn't have an atom parser yet (and wont for ages - their standards and approval process greatly discourage people writing for it - there's no way i ever will :/) so i wrote one with the same interface as XML::RSS, for drop in replacement (it's going to be used in an upcoming aggregator project). »« 22:17 14/07/04 | permalink | code php atom rss
