This is a quick reminder/note for myself more than anything else, but if you’re using Subversion 1.6, merging is a bit easier than it used to be, and all of Google’s search results will either tell you how to keep your branch in sync with trunk using methods in 1.0. First of all, be sure… Read more »

New Logo Design by Brandstack™
I’d like to announce some changes to The PHP Cult. New Domain: The name will be changing to Third Party Code, if you’ve known me for a while, that’s the name under which I’ve been conducting business, yet almost everything about me and quite a bit of my work shows up on phpcult.com. Technical Competence:… Read more »
Another failure in Web page styling and design.
This one comes from Microsoft, and their Silverlight install page. Since I already have silverlight installed, I can’t show what the actual download link looked like, but it wasn’t obvious at first. Why do people still not pay attention to this stuff? I’m not commenting on choice of colors, but rather that it’s not obvious… Read more »
Symfony, PHP, OS X and how not to be an idiot. (can't find driver mysql) error
Leopard 10.5.7 now comes with PHP 5.2.8, I wasn’t aware of this, and it’s caused me a great amount of agony and hair pulling over the past few days. So, for those of you running XAMPP and recently upgraded to 10.5.7 you may want to be aware of this. When I had installed XAMPP, I… Read more »
Redefining Spam, in the age of Twitter
For the past few months, I’ve been helping my friend develop and market Philtro . We’ve gone through various iterations of the elevator pitch for it, and the one that seems to be kinda working, is: “It’s like a spam filter for your Twitter account.” At SXSW, I got the opportunity to talk to Guy… Read more »

As always it was one bad apple giving the bad impression and discomfort…. Read more »
Cost of clouds, Mosso/Slicehost vs AWS
Marco Tabini has a great post discussing the cost of the cloud, and the current state of affairs. He calls for a simpler cloud platform, not just in terms of cost, but ease of use and products and services that adapt to changes in the market. Though the $100/month Mosso offering is mentioned (this site… Read more »
Using Subversion with Mosso
Thanks to Expandrive . You can now use Subversion (SVN) on websites hosted at Mosso . The idea of mounting a directory you’d normally ftp/sftp to, and then using SVN on it, at first seemed oddly implausible to me. But, I tried it recently, and got exactly the results I wanted. I even had the… Read more »
Using your Mac as a local web development environment.
My last post was for all users, technical and non. This post is for the techies who know me, and are switching. Some are coming from Windows, some from Linux, some are designers who need to do some local development. So, I’ll try to keep this post as simple as possible, and perhaps more like… Read more »
Welcome to OS X. or Yet Another Switchers Page 2.0
Yet Another Switch Page 2.0 It’s been 4 years since I switched to the Mac. A few years ago I made a page for other switchers. I’m making a new list, as a lot of my friends have finally switched themselves, or are thinking about it. Please share and add your favorite apps in the… Read more »
