Announcing My New Website
Posted on February 8th, 2010 No commentsIt’s been live for a couple of weeks now, although I haven’t done much promotion of it, so here is word of an “official” announcement of my new portfolio site. Please take a look around and if you have any constructive criticism, feedback or advice, feel free to let me know through the usual channels… So without further ado, I pronounce www.jamestitcumb.com officially open!

Question: How does source control work in a non-distributed environment?
Posted on February 5th, 2010 No commentsAt our company we currently all work on one shared network drive. The source code is not under any kind of source control, which for me is a big no-no. I’d love to be able to set up SVN and us all work of separate repositories and just commit back to a trunk or branch, but our tech manager doesn’t agree.

Very Exciting – HipHop by Facebook
Posted on February 2nd, 2010 No commentsWell this evening Facebook have revealed what PHP developers globally have been speculating about and revealed their big secret . And boy, this could really change the landscape of PHP as we know it. I’m a great fan of compiling PHP for one reason or another, but I’ve never seen it reliably work.

New House & Growing Freyja
Posted on January 31st, 2010 No commentsI haven’t done a “personal” update for some time now, so I thought I’d briefly brush over our recent lives. The photo you can see on the left is the current state of our new house that is being built in the new Dickens Quarter development in Portsmouth

MySQL gotcha when using non-compulsory foreign keys
Posted on January 27th, 2010 No commentsI’m just writing a query at the moment that filters out test records from a database. These records have a foreign-keyed value that identifies test apps, e.g. a table with: id name 1 TEST 2 ANOTHER_VALUE 3 SOMETHING_ELSE This is joined onto the main data table, sensibly with a query like this: SELECT * FROM the_data LEFT JOIN the_values ON the_data.some_value = the_values.id WHERE the_values.name != 'TEST' The gotcha is however, that this doesn’t work as you’d expect

Handling CType Data With SimpleXML in PHP
Posted on January 15th, 2010 No commentsIf you're new to SimpleXML then the output and representation of complex XML data produced by the library can be daunting and sometimes confusing, but once you're used to it, SimpleXML is a massively useful tool for processing XML information. When debugging other people's implementations of simpleXML however, one of the biggest issues I come across time and again is the apparent loss of CType data from the processed feed. Luckily this is very easily remedied, but not well documented so here's how to deal with it.

Buy a Lexus – Blind Your Fellow Road Users
Posted on January 14th, 2010 No commentsEveryone who knows me will know that I am marginally prejudiced against people with expensive cars (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus etc.), but not entirely without cause. One of my niggles (pet hates if you will) about them is their unnecessarily dazzling headlights.

Styling the The TinyMCE Text Area
Posted on January 4th, 2010 No commentsThey guys who produce TinyMCE suggest, when initialising the editor, that you set the content_css parameter to be the url to your site’s CSS, so that the content you type into the text area is styled in the same way as the rest of your site.
