Lukas: Custom Types in PEAR::MDB2

For varchar/char differntiation we introduced an optional "fixed" option inside a field definition. However I guess you were just illustrating the general concept.

Sugababes at a Feeder concert?! That's a first... although ogling at some of them wouldn't be bad!

Travis Swicegood: Doc Blocks Rock!

One thing I would add here is that the unit tests - when following a TDD or test-first approach - answer the question "what should the code do?" Using a contrived example, if you have a function called add() and your test verifies that 2 + 2 equals 4, the the function body should be: return 2 + 2; That said, I do know several developers who's mind works better writing out a quick docblock to start coding. It start their mind on the "oh wait, what about ...?" path. It's what works best for (the rhetorical) you. I tend toward tests because that's something I can reproduce later.

Luke: Temper, temper...

Mark J: EasyDNS DDoS

markjr@easydns.com (Mark J) — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 18:47:38 +0000

You're right Andrew, we should have posted much earlier. The attack did expand across all of our nameservers this morning. However, as we noted on the blog (just now), it looks like anybody who experienced DNS unavailability today did not have their domain delegated to the full set of nameservers here. In some cases people were delegated to only two nameservers which made the odds of losing DNS much higher during an attack such as this. -mark

Rob Hunter: Zend & Command Line Debugging

Just for completeness, I thought I'd mention that it's normally a good idea to surround $@ with double-quotes, to pass parameters with spaces in them.
