Stop Using the PHP Error Suppressor “@” and “or die”
Posted on August 28th, 2010 No commentsIt annoys me when I see tutorials for learning PHP with code like this: $fd = @ file ( "doesnotexist" ) ; and this: $md = mysql_connect ( "localhost" , "user" , "pass" ) or die ( "Could not connect!" ) ; It’s bad practice in the real programming world and shouldn’t happen. The at symbol (@) is used to silence any errors caused by calling a function as shown above, when proper error handling should be implemented. Similarly, the practice of using “or die” to error check needs to stop being taught.

Posted on July 20th, 2010 No commentsAt work we use commercial Firewall appliances, where the vendors charge a fortune for the updates and support, its poor value for money, so I’m going to be looking into the Open Source alternatives, here’s the ones I’ve identified so far, hopefully I’ll get chance to review them and post my findings - http://www.smoothwall.org/ http://www.ebox-platform.com/ http://www.vyatta.com/ http://www.endian.com/en/community/ http://www.untangle.com/ http://www.astaro.com/ http://www.idecogateway.com/ http://www.zeroshell.net/ http://www.collax.com/produkte/detail/produkt/Schutz-vor-Angriffen http://www.clearfoundation.com/

Alternative to array_merge merging many arrays
Posted on July 8th, 2010 No commentsI have a case at work where I needed to go through a big list of arrays, and add them to a new master array. It turns out this is incredibly slow when adding many large arrays to a larger array. The alternative to this if you don’t care about keys or duplication of values is to just add it into the array

Free Alternative Software To Commercial Programs
Posted on June 23rd, 2010 No commentsOver the last few years I have been increasing my use of free, open source alternatives to commercial software products for a number of reasons, mainly because of superior features or ease of use in the free products which assist my work, or in some cases because I want to avoid the budget signoff bureaucracy involved with purchasing new software programs (aka. Saving the company money – lol)

Freyja Growing Up
Posted on June 12th, 2010 No commentsIt’s been a little while since I talked about our little one, and my she has grown up a lot. She’s 14 months old now and she’s walking around like no tomorrow. She wants to walk so much that if you let her loose outside she will just walk and walk, and if you try picking her up she will protest

Moving to Linux – Finding Alternative Software
Posted on June 10th, 2010 No commentsI’ve been using Linux on servers for years, since before I started learning to code. Finally, after something like 7/8 years I am almost fully confident in severing the ties to my highly underused Windows installation on my personal laptop, but there are still a couple of exceptions
