		<title>Integrating Kohana 3 with WordPress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I first did this with CongreGATE. Assumptions 1. You are using WordPress permalinks with mod_rewrite or a similar option. 2. You don&#8217;t have register_globals() turned on. Turn it off to ensure WordPress&#8217;s global variables don&#8217;t get removed by Kohana. Renaming First, you need to rename the __() function in Kohana. Say, you rename it to [...]]]></description>

		<title>SQL</title>

SELECT `wp_category`.`id` AS `category:id`, `wp_category`.`name` AS `category:name`, `wp_category`.`created` AS `category:created`, `wp_category`.`modified` AS `category:modified`, `wp_lib_items`.* FROM `wp_lib_items` LEFT OUTER JOIN `wp_lib_borrowers` ON (`wp_lib_items`.`id` = (SELECT `wp_b`.`id` FROM `wp_lib_borrowers` AS `wp_b` WHERE `wp_b`.`item_id` = wp_lib_items.id ORDER BY `wp_b`.`status` ASC LIMIT 1)) LEFT OUTER JOIN `wp_congregate_members` ON (`wp_lib_borrowers`.`member_id` = `wp_congregate_members`.`id`) LEFT [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thanksgiving code</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I needed a script to loop through the letters of the alphabet and put this in an array: a-z, aa-zz, aaa-zzz, aaaa-zzzz, etc. Through a very rough approach, I&#8217;ve satisfied conditions 1-3, but not anything after (source code below). [syntax,alg.phps,php] So, all my problems are from the function get_items(). Basically, I don&#8217;t want to loop [...]]]></description>

		<title>Algorithms for Dummies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m taking my second algorithm class this semester. So far, I think I understand a lot of the algorithms discussed in theory. The problem is translating them to code. Most of the algorithm textbooks I&#8217;ve come across are so technical, I haven&#8217;t the foggiest idea how to actually go on. The biggest problem, I think [...]]]></description>

		<title>CakePHP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m rewriting Authware at the moment using CakePHP. I figured I had to learn something about MVC sometime, but here I am doing so &#8212; and it isn&#8217;t funny.]]></description>

		<title>Ruby (on Rails)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back when I still had a print subscription to Linux Journal, I read an interview of David Hansson, creator of rails and thought, &#8216;wow, this is cool!&#8217; My friend Kwame had a book on Ruby which I perused and found the language was relatively simple. Now for such a simple, amazing language &#8212; and framework [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open Link in New Window</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Isn&#8217;t there some way to disable this or move it further down in Firefox? Why does it have to be at the top? Everytime I righ-click a link, I intend to open it in a new tab. I hate new windows! The crazy context menu item just keeps getting in my way&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>SELECT * EXCEPT(&#8230;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This would have been one of the coolest additions to SQL. Programmers are lazy, always looking for a way to avoid writing more code and I suppose this is one area I fit the norm. I need to select all the fields from a 20-column table&#8230; except one. Doing a Google search, it&#8217;s apparent I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s with PHP Sessions?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been tearing out my hair trying to figure out how to have persistent sessions on the client. Okay, I&#8217;ve done it before on several projects but those ones didn&#8217;t use a database-based session handler. I&#8217;ve called session_set_cookie_params to no avail everywhere in my code &#8212; the time in the db&#8217;s correct, but the session [...]]]></description>

		<title>Code Profiling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While running some tests on my local machine, I discovered a certain content item on Authware took between 2.5 and 2.9 seconds to load -- when nearly every other one got loaded in less than 0.7 seconds. There were some basic references to <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.cloning.php">clone</a> -- especially when determining the book name for a certain content item and discovering the book was it's own parent -- and I <del datetime="2007-04-27T09:58:16+00:00">naturally</del> erroneously assumed the overhead arose in those sections. Doing a manual copy of all the elements I needed instead of cloning changed nothing.]]></description>
