Happenings

Zend Studio 64bitness

I'm quite a big fan of the Zend Studio development environment for PHP - I use it quite extensively at work and generally speaking it's a very capable tool and makes developing PHP a lot easier/quicker. However, it's closed source and quite expensive, which is a bit of a downside …

I've re-enabled comments with an additional plugin that requires you to type a short code from a randomly generated image. That should keep the spammers at bay and let any real people comment here, not that they're likely to ;)

At last

Today I watched The Lord of The Rings: Return of The King: Extended Edition (bit of a mouthful) and I have to say I am very impressed and it's great to see things like the Saruman confrontation at last. I've only watched a few of the extra bits, the ones …
