Allan's interests to the MAX

So far, I’m fairly unimpressed by the way it’s implemented. I mean, it’s fine that it’s a work in progress but I’d almost prefer not to have method stubs that throw “not implemented” exceptions in a “production” distribution. Why would you want to frustrate developers with unimplemented method stubs? There definitely needs to be a change in policy for their releases, that’s all I’m saying.

Also, what is up with this spotty reference manual and completely unintuitive API documentation? Zend Framework API reference PHP documentation is about 10 years ahead of this disaster. It took me about 30 seconds of staring at the front page trying to figure out how to change packages. Also, I love how the reference manual has areas where they reference things that haven’t been implemented yet. I don’t mean reference as in a sentence, but in the actual coding example. In fact, that was the first time I ran into the “unimplemented” exception.

Thanks for the underwhelming experience, Zend. I think it’s a noble pursuit, but poor documentation really hurts the experience and usability.

As seen in Zombieland the movie. I mean, it seems so obvious that we should enjoy all little things in life in order to really savor being alive. All too often we get caught up in what we’re driving, where we live, what’s the next shiny toy we’re going to purchase, how we’re going to make more money, etc, that we forget to really enjoy the little things.

So take a little time and think of the laugh we shared with our friends this afternoon, the smile the clerk when you make a stupid joke about not knowing what to order at Coffee Bean, or that great Animal Collective song you heard on the radio. You know, the little things.

Probably one of the most “New York”-style bass beat I’ve heard in awhile.

Finally a few more details on Neda’s life.

It’s felt like forever since the allegedly corrupt Iranian democratic election and it looks like the Supreme Leader is still the Supreme Leader and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is still president of Iran. One can’t help but feel a sense of helplessness when observing from the other side of the world. Change is coming though, everyone just has to keep going for it.
