So in all 5 minutes of my free time I've managed to squeeze in some side projects. One I've "highlighted" (pun intended) here before: lzHilight. The other is a mini-project I through together to add cterm support to Vim colorschemes without the need for the somewhat bulky GuiColorScheme plug… more »

In the spirit of PHP I figured I would make a major update in a minor version. So here's version 0.8.2 and here's the changelog for the beast. (This will probably be the last of the major changes since from here on out all development will probably be focused on the tokenizers or creating so… more »

Here 'tis, version 0.8. Most of the major changes dealt with fixing the HTML tokenizer which now works *almost* flawlessly. Here are the updated README and CHANGELOG from v0.8. Download: CLI Highlighter v0.8 CHANGELOG 0.8 * Changed the way custom handlers work in syntax fi… more »

Another quick update for the syntax highlighter. I've rewritten a bit of the main program for extensibility and I've bundled an HTML tokenizer (unfortunately this is a finite state automata, its almost impossible to go completely stateless) and syntax files.

So I was messing around with the STL the other day, mainly to compare OOP in PHP and in C++ and I came up with two simple comparisons. PHP: <?php class Person implements ArrayAccess { public $name; public $properties = array(); public function __construct($na… more »

Many of the things PHP gets berated for are simply misunderstood features of the language. The cause of this misunderstanding is undoubtedly the "fault" of the languages low barrier to entry. If I may steal a quote from Douglas Crockford, people are writing before learning the language. S… more »

This is less a blog post and more a personal attack on the original author of the bit of code in Symfony that reads in the filters.yml file. Firstly, you're a god damned idiot, secondly, you're and even bigger idiot. Here's a very short backstory to this attack, in Symfony to enable a filte… more »

So I happened to notice that links in posts on the Alter Aeon boards weren't being parsed correctly; lots of false positives and correct urls weren't being linked. So I did what every illogical programmer would do. So I racked my brain for a few minutes and using the awesome RegExr air a… more »
