Going for a world record number of projects started in a week, I worked on a clipboard viewing project. I'll put this up too when I get a chance.
Continuing my legacy as the most distractable programmer in history, I worked on a bignum library. I can't seem to locate one for delphi. So far, my efforts are pretty pathetic, but the exercise has been fun, I am ready to put it to bed. I'll probably post it here when I get a chance.
So I've not quit programming or anything just blogging it would seem. I feel like I neglect my php. Perhaps I should do some asp - I wonder how well this would work on IIS - I would love to practice on IIS - but it's so insecure I would be afraid to run it! Anyway, I am going to post a version of my search program pretty soon. I've also been working on a program I'm calling OpenVol. It's much like Bonanimnotia, in fact, I am debating whether or not to consider OpenVol to be the code-word for Bonanimnotia. This is the third time I've re-written it, but this time it seems pretty solid.
Got the photo gallery working after much fuss. Figured out that the stupid thing wouldn't work unless you were pointed to the exact domain name specified in the configuration. So now that can work. I also got the phpCollab to work, so that is going to be able to be done tomorrow. I had a small issue with the sessions configuration on the site. All of this stuff working, oh goodness! Also got the surveys to work as well. The trouble was with the IP assignment, the fix looks like this:
$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
if (empty($ip)) {
$ip = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR];
}
Interesting computing night. Found site postNuke, which appears by all rights to be almost a clone of phpNuke or some derivation of the same project except maybe this project is a little more versatile. In my wanderings over the site for something to do a chat page for the home site I found an OUTSTANDING graphing utility which continues to cement my belief that for 75% of the work we do at DPS, PHP is exactly what we want. We are doing it the sledgehammer way and need to stop. There are definitely some cases where we are still going to need hardcore programming tools like Delphi and Kylix, but otherwise, PHP is great.
I found a bug tracking program called phpBugTracker, which I am going to try and implement by tomorrow. Should be a piece of cake as it seems everything in php is pretty much just that. It would seem that there is a pnBugTracker which would intergrate with either postnuke or phpnuke, haven't figured out how agreeable they would be to that yet.
So I'm working on Bonaniminotia. The first thing I am doing is re-acclimating myself to the project. And I am doing so very nicely so I think it will get something interesting posted soon. Nothing earth shattering, but something.
