Goodbye Ibuildings, Hi Rhinofly

By max ⋅ January 26, 2010 ⋅ One comment

After being part of their highly skilled team for over 17 months I’ve decided to leave Ibuildings. I’d like to thank Ivo for believing in me and helping me out if needed.
I’ve learned a lot and it’s been a privilege to work there.
Starting the first of March I’ll be developing in ColdFusion and PHP at [...]

Developing in PHP with NetBeans 6.8

By max ⋅ November 25, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

The problem:
I love Textmate as an editor period.
There are some things though that I started missing while developing:

Code completion
Inline documentation
instant error checking
debugging from my editor
must have strong syntax highlighting support (for dark themes like my favourite Sunburst)

So I started looking around for an IDE(or Editor) that would work for me and that I could adhere [...]

Installing xDebug 2.0.4 or 2.1 on OSX

By max ⋅ January 13, 2009 ⋅ 8 comments

In my previous post we installed the latest apache and php from source and now I’d like to install xDebug to it. As stated in the comments on the previous post, I like living on the edge, so I build it myself, instead of using packages like MAMP or XAMMP or using binaries.
With that out [...]

Installing PHP 5.2.8 on OSX Leopard 10.5.6

By max ⋅ December 29, 2008 ⋅ 28 comments

Because I travel a lot by train, it’s easy to have a local development environment with me. Because OSX Leopard contains Apache2 and PHP 5.2.6, I installed MySQL, ZF, PEAR, setup the vhost conf for apache and added the path to the ZF and PEAR libraries to /etc/php.ini. This seemed to work fine for a [...]

Themed Tab Terminal for OSX Leopard

By max ⋅ December 28, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

If you’re working a lot with remote sessions like I do, you inevitably type a command in the wrong window… Most of the time it’s something harmless like an ls or an cd command, but if you’re trying to clean stuff up with an rm command things can get bad.
The easiest way to differentiate between [...]

I’ll be attending Adobe MAX San Francisco

By max ⋅ November 11, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I will be attending THE Adobe event; Adobe MAX, that’s held on 17, 18 and 19 November in the Moscone center and the Marriot Yerba, San Francisco.
Adobe invited Ivo, but since he was already occupied and I was already developing in Flex and AIR, Ivo asked if I liked to go…. YEAH of course ! [...]

A lot going on…

By max ⋅ November 11, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Long time no writeups (at least none of them are finished posts).
A lot has happened this last year:

We finally completed the garden… Yay !
We had a very nice holiday in France
The girls are growing like crazy and it’s hard to keep up with their development.
We think one of the girls has mild “Selective Mutism” and [...]

Adobe AIR tour in europa !!

By max ⋅ March 13, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Adobe werkt al enige tijd aan een manier om web applicaties (HTML/AJAX en Adobe Flex web-applicaties) naar de desktop te kunnen brengen als ’stand-alone’ applicatie. Adobe noemt dit AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime).
Afgelopen zomer is er een introductietour door Noord-Amerika en Canada geweest om de Beta versie van AIR te promoten. Een team van Adobe [...]
