Edit: Shortly after positing this entry, Inventic contacted me with some responses. These are in italics.
I’ve been using Doctrine in conjunction with the Zend Framework for years. Although it is an excellent ORM, writing yaml by hand is a tedious and error-prone process. Furthermore, it can be difficult to visualize a large database from a series of text files, so I find myself maintaining a MySQL Workbench diagram in addition to the textual database representation.
While experimenting with mobile development on the Blackberry Webworks Platform I found that it was extremely difficult to get any debugging information out of the device simulator to help debug javascript errors.
I’ve been looking at using Phonegap and Dojo for rapid application development on mobile devices. As I have been doing blackberry development for the past year or so I thought that this would be a good platform to start on. However, I almost immediately ran into a problem with the WebWorks packager.
When I was first experimenting with GIT I was administering the server using the wbm-virtualmin-git plugin for Virtualmin. As a result, I was using the HTTP protocol to access the git repository and preform user authentication.
It seems that despite all the hard work of the Jenkins team to ensure a smooth move over to the new name, some of the maven repositories have not been updated just yet.
I’ve found myself moving more and more towards GIT, both for its multiple upstreams, offline editing abilities and sane merging. However, I haven’t been able to find a Zend Framework 1.x repository. As a result, I am hoping to maintain a clean one using the svn2git tool. Check it out on github:
http://github.com/51systems/Zend-Framework-1x
Expect updates to be pushed to it for each release in the 1.x line.
This weekend I was having problems with my wireless connection dropping ping packets and being generally unreliable. I decided to switch the channel that it was running on, but first I had to check to see which channel had the least amount of traffic on it.
The greatest annoyance with my setup is when I accidentally press the backslash key. When this happens, XBMC loses focus making it so I cannot get back into full screen mode.
I run a Hudson, (now Jenkins) CI server on windows XP.
The Jenkins git plugin is broken if you have repositories that use HTTP auth (See: http://issues.hudson-ci.org/browse/HUDSON-3807, http://issues.hudson-ci.org/browse/HUDSON-7091).
