A bit more freedom

I need CATEGORIES !!!

I've decided after contradicting myself numerous times that I will move my blog back to one of my own webspaces, (see this post).

I am still busy moving everything over and getting everything in place, I'll be using WordPress for the new BLOG, but I guess I'll be over in about 2 weeks' time.

the new location will be at blog.justpulse.com

Happy Holidays

HI guys, a bit late but

HAPPY BELATED CHRISTMAS AND BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR !!

dbHistoric

Hi guys

A while back I created an Open Source project called dbHistoric which intends to be a monitoring and statistics tool for database.

I will capture the status of database systems at certain times of the days(given intervals) and then one can draw reports on them.

Currently I'm looking for guys that can help me with the design and implementation of some documentation and requirements.

I am also very busy lately so all hands are welcome.

The technologies that I've decided on are Java(for backend engine) and PHP/gdLibrary for reporting, but I"m open to suggestions.

Please have a look at my project on SourceForge.net .

Hi guys, something totally off-topic.

Took this photo near Pilgrims Rest in Mpumalanga(i think) in South Africa.

Just so cool ... hehe

AJAX magic

I cannot wait to write a full blown article concerning AJAX methodologies.

The last week I've been intensely developing in AJAX, it is the best thing for internet since ... mmm

I cannot believe this technology has always been sitting there, and no-one using it.

New Blog added

I've added a new links sections on the right hand side, for all links to other blogs.

My first link is to Piku's PHP Blog, this blog contains the newest news in the PHP realm and also some nifty code snippets, be sure to check our this site.

Templating engines

Today I started on a private project with one of my friends, where we are looking at creating a fitness and healthstyle website, and this time around I wanted to design a very robust, hack-safe website which will keep you going for a few years.

I've evaluated some of the FREE templating system available under the gnu licenses and found two in particular very interesting, namely:

1. patTemplate
2. Smarty

SO of course I did and went some reading about the different systems, and found an excellent tutorial/blog-entry that Havard Lindset wrote about patTemplate on DevArticles.com .

At the end of the day I selected Smarty, why I really don't know, maybe because I got it to work the fastest and am now running a multi-theme, multi-language web interface with this engine.

Now just waiting for our first advertisers ... mmm
