Efficient PHP Debugging In Vim
Found this article today Efficient PHP Debugging In Vim which explains how to setup Vim as a PHP debugger.
There was also Debugging PHP using Xdebug and Notepad++.
HTML5 Declaration
This is too easy to forget, you would think. Yet for some reason I still look it up when I need it:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Useful OpenSSL Commands
Found a list of Useful OpenSSL Commands today. Mostly I wanted to get the subject out of a cacert.pem file which I wasn’t sure of:
openssl x509 -text -noout -in hostcert.pem
Beginning Perl
Found a free ebook Beginning Perl the other day and started working my way though it. After a few chapters I realised I didn’t really want to learn Perl. I think I’m going to focus on PHP. I can get shit done in PHP just as easily as I could in Perl.
A List Apart
Learned about a web design website today called A List Apart. It seems to have some interesting content centered on web design.
Kick-starting a responsive design from a template
I got a referral from Stuart Laughlin to initializr which is a handy HTML/CSS/JavaScript template generator. Stuart’s recommendation was to use the Twitter Bootstrap template.
Shawn Wildermuth on Responsive Design
Watched this talk today on Responsive Design by Shawn Wildermuth.
CSS Media queries
Heard about CSS Media queries today. It’s a table of CSS media queries that can help you figure out what sort of a device you are on.
How to hack the beliefs that are holding you back
Read an article today, How to hack the beliefs that are holding you back. Not sure that I will actually be applying any of those techniques but I do feel as though I’m holding on to some beliefs which are holding me back and I would like to abandon them. I think I’m afraid of being successful, even though that seems silly. I just worry that I’m not qualified enough to be making decisions which will affect people’s lives and I worry about the time in my life being soaked up so much that I don’t have the time to give other people. At the moment if people, anyone, needs me, then I’m available, regardless of how important they are. I worry that if I were successful I’d be in so much demand that I’d have to start picking and choosing who I gave my time to and I’m loathe to do that. I dunno. I’m pretty sure I want to be successful. I’m not sure what’s holding me back. But I haven’t been getting on with things in the way that I feel I should be if I want to be successful.
