Quickly validate PHP files

June 26, 2009 | Computers, PHP Scripting | 1 comment

Ever needed to quickly scan a directory full of PHP files for syntax errors? You can do this quickly on a *nix command line with:

  1.  find . -type f -name \*.php -exec php -l {} \;

Unibody MacBook Pro + MCE OptiBay + Seagate Momentus 500GB drive = 768 GB of useable hard drive space.

I bit the bullet and purchased the MCE OptiBay and a big fat hard drive for my MacBook Pro. I needed more space to allow my penchant for virtual machines to grow as well as keep my ever expanding music library with me instead of having it live only at home.

June 19, 2009 | Code | 1 comment

The WordPress TextMate bundle has been updated for WordPress 2.8. New items include:

Get more information on the WordPress TextMate Bundle project page, download it from the Github project page, or, if you installed it via GetBundles (which is really the best way to keep up with it) you can simply upgrade it from TextMate. If you don’t already use GetBundles, you really should. Use Subversion to install it from that url.

Foxes

Adult FoxEvery year its not a matter of if we’ll get foxes in the neighborhood or not, its a matter of where they’ll be. This year we got a family of 2 adults and 4 young-uns just down the street from us.

I’ve seen one or two on occasion as the weather gets warmer, but recently they’ve been out as a family, rummaging through the grass and bushes in search of something to eat, or just to take some time and play.

Announcing the WordPress TextMate Bundle

As the name implies this is a TextMate bundle to assist with WordPress development. Where I work we’re on WordPress almost every day doing this or that and it gets pretty tedious to not only remember the schizophrenia that is PHP syntax, but the schizophrenia that is my own code as well as the schizophrenia that is the WordPress code base (don’t take that the wrong way, pretty much every code base out there is a little bit schizo).

To that end I got together with my co-worker Gordon and started hacking together this bundle. Gordon’s a detailed oriented guy, and I like to pretend to be, so together we were able to sufficiently over-analyze the situation and put together what we feel is a heck of a good resource for developing under WordPress with TextMate (someone I know has already taken part of it and converted it to emacs! Heathen ;) ).

So if you’re a TextMate user you should check out the WordPress TextMate Bundle and let us know what you think! This is the first official release announcement and it is bound to have a bug or two, so if you find anything be sure to let us know at the GitHub project page.
