Who woulda thunk?

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

My first chunk of heavy code on MSDN (yes, that MSDN!!) is a whole lotta PHP to SQLServer. Microsoft, and the world, is a funny old place.

De-commissioning old Content Management System

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Notes from De-commissioning old Content Management System: The MungenetEngine. The engine has rendered 10 million image views and 2.5 million page views from handcoded MySQL and PHP.

"coding" in PHP feels wrong, wrong, wrong. A little dirty. After 6 months, I feel I should be writing in C#, IronPython; at least something decent. Not PHP. It's [...]

XSL-FO

Friday, November 8th, 2002

All this is in aid of some Adobe Document Server demonstrations I am doing over [...]

mungenetengine

Thursday, May 23rd, 2002

At 8.30am today, mungenetengine had served 10000 unique page views to 1829 unique viewers.

For those interested in InDesign. The 'engineer' mentioned is, err, me.
How the mungenetengine works is a quickie description of what is going on behind the scenes.

PHP Week

Sunday, November 18th, 2001

Holiday nearly over, still more programming left undone. For those interested in creating dynamic web sites, let me give a little plug to PHP After coding most of the week, I�ve found this programming language extremely productive. About the only thing that I miss is a development environment with a debugger (but I [...]

XMLRPC, PHP, AppleScript

Thursday, October 18th, 2001

Completed some very small example projects using XML-RPC. Clients in Visual Basic, PHP and AppleScript - and a server in PHP
As a part of the next roadshow these examples will be shown to all and sundry -- I will also post the code here for perusal. MySQL is a part of this project as [...]
