Bored of programming part 2

phpcurious — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:54:16 +0000

That was last year, June, when I first went to Daniel’s blog and read this article about the feeling of boredom in programming. I blogged about it here in wordpress hosted blogsite.

There were 2 people who commented on my blog post. The first one was nakatawa. That is a friend of mine (we met in college) who lives now and work as a computer engineer in the United States . And the second was Daniel himself. He said that it was the programming in question if it is the right thing to do.

Once again this year, The feeling is killing me. This time, it feels more frightening, as it tells me to be afraid of the future. IT is more like dictating me what to do and I tend to feel to be in less control.

Beggar: Excuse me, mister, I am lost and have no money. can you give me some money so that I could go back home?

My Brother: Sorry, but I have no money to spare.

year 2008:

Same Beggar: Excuse me, mister, I am lost and have no money. can you give me some money so that I could go back home?

My Brother: Hey! Are you still lost since last year?

HA HA HA…!

Latest status on Learn The Web Cakephp Project

phpcurious — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 09:45:24 +0000

I thought that I update my readers regarding my personal cakephp project named “Learn The Web”. It’s actually a question and answer site, and the users earn points and gain levels and improve their profile according to the number of questions posted, answers to questions, and votes.

The tasks finished :

1. use of AuthComponent ($this->Auth->authorize = ‘actions’)
2. use of cakephp Themes (with that you can customize or create your own layout for the site.)

The web app online is not updated because I have sessions problem with the free host. (hey , it’s a free host!).

Tools that may help you to develop faster loading web pages

phpcurious — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 02:28:17 +0000

I found this article from six revisions and they enumerated several tools that would help you develop faster loading web pages. Some of them are actually the first time I heard of, but they are really quite useful to me, though, others might not if they are more into linux than windows.

my issue with cakephp sessions

phpcurious — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 11:43:25 +0000

Two days before this is posted on this blog, I encountered an issue with the sessions in cakephp on my personal cakephp project. I felt frustrated when I realized that the sessions do not load when logging in.

The part of the source code where I think it is the problem is in here in my users_controller.php:

$this->Session->write(”Users.id”,$activeuser['users']['id']);
$this->Session->write(”Users.username”,$activeuser['users']['username']);
$this->redirect(”/”,null,true);

So, I asked around on twitter using Twhirl about this sessions issue. Petixe replied and told me that I should save the sessions in database instead. So, I thought, yeah well, okay. But still, nothing changed.

chartjes suggested that I should change Security.level to ‘medium’. I already did this before going home from work yesterday. But still, nothing happened. And yes ,dhofstet, it is still the same result even if this is set to ‘low’.

To prove to my dear readers that I know what I am doing with the sessions, here’s a screenshot of the sessions successfully loaded on my local copy.
