We bought a house.
After commuting for about 3 to 6 hours a day, for over 6 years, things start to get better now. We’ve bought a house that’s only 20km. (about 1/2 hour drive) from my work.

Some of the parts covered are:
- Getting Started
- AutoComplete
- Ajax Redirect

So head over to Ahsan’s Laboratory and distover how to implement some nice ajax stuff in your web-app!
CakePHP 1.2: $html->link with html or image.
In CakePHP 1.1 if you need to display an image or piece of HTML with a link to an action, you need to instruct cake NOT to escape the contents of the "Title" attribute with the last false statement like this:
In CakePHP 1.2 you could rewrite this to:
CakePHP 1.2: redirect method
Previously (in CakePHP 1.1) it was best to add an exit or return after you redirect method like:
PHP:
-
$this->redirect('controller/action');
or
PHP:
-
$this->redirect('controller/action');
-
return();
in CakePHP 1.2 this can be shortened to:
PHP:
-
$this->redirect('controller/action', null, true);
See cakebaker on this too.
I want to be six again
Adult Resignation
To Whom It May Concern:
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.
I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 6 year old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms are better than money, because you can eat them.
I want to play kickball during recess and paint with watercolors in art.
I want to lie under a big Oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summers day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple.
Small update:
Okay…... the 26th of november 2005 we’ve moved. Since then we were not able to make use of the Internet because of troubles with our Cable-provider @Home. They were unable to update their LDAP database. After a lot of frustrating phonecalls in which they told us to wait just a little more, we decided to switch to DSL. They were able to connect us within 2 weeks….
More updates will follow soon !
Boxes, Boxes everywhere….
For the next three weeks the walls will be filled with boxes. Would be nice to skip this part of the move ;o)
Genealogy unfortunately offline!
Unfortunately I had to take the “Westen” genealogy offline, due to a heavy serverload.The information that was sent to me by a couple of people will be entered in the genealogy too.
Hopefully the system will return in a couple of weeks. (Depending of the problem can be fixed).
Cheers,
Max
