Why Yii Rocks

on Mar.03, 2011, under Technology

After trying to implement my Database models on Doctrine ORM for about 5 hours,
(I must mention that I do have experience with Doctrine 1.2, which is useless for Doctrine 2 since they change everything)
I decided to try Yii Framework, and surprisingly, it worked like magic!

After about 20-30 minutes while reading the unbelievably high quality documentation,
I was able to not only configure the models, but also the relationships were automatically identified. (whoa?? including Many to Many ?!)

So thanks Yii guys, you created a hell of a framework! :-)

3 Macros for Netbeans to keep my sanity

on Mar.02, 2011, under Technology

I’ve been needing a 3 certain macros for Netbeans that are found on Notepad++ (someone should kill those developers for not making a version for linux).

In order to create macros for Netbeans just go to Tools>Options>Editor>Macros
I’ve stumbled upon a small table of the commands, and after playing around with them I got it:

  1. Delete Line: set as Ctrl+L, Macro Code: remove-line4
  2. Toggle Lines (probably the most useful, switch line with above), set as Ctrl+T, Macro Code: select-line cut-to-clipboard caret-up paste-from-clipboard
  3. Duplicate Line, set as Ctrl+D, Macro Code: copy-selection-else-line-down caret-up

Hope you’ll find those Macros as useful as I found them.

Opened jquery.kidsil.net

on Feb.26, 2011, under Technology

The last couple of days I’ve been doing some small projects,
among others, were some projects made with jQuery…

I thought it might be a good idea to generalize the code
and make it ready for everyone to use…

One thing led to another and I ended up opening a small website for my jQuery Plugins

If you don’t know jQuery, it’s a Javascript plugin, and a pretty cool one at that.

The Inability to automate forms via jQuery or Php

on Nov.04, 2010, under Technology

I’ve tried it many times, but it seems impossible.
The reason is simple: the remote script checks the Headers
so you can’t send data from another server.

A couple of days ago I purchased Htc Desire.
It’s the best Android Phone on the market, and it was definitely

How I created an Auto-backup using Git

on Sep.20, 2010, under Brainstorming, Technology

During work  we use to have a really stressful time.
Everyone was using each other’s folders
(mainly happens in new projects… and an overenthusiastic project designer).
After 3-4 accidental deletions of my project folder,
I decided to simply backing up once a day is not enough.
So I created a bash file, copy the files and committing them via git
(an excellent way to manage your source code).
