The title is missing some quotation marks:

shouldn't the delete method in the handler be:

$this->om->remove($page);
$this->om->flush();

or is there some magic in the $this->processDelete($page) ?

you should change the frisky-default.css?v=1.2 file on line 3522 to not have a max height. that would stop the div from cutting off the words

Re: MAMP PRO, PECL, SSH2, and OSX CLI (AKA acronym madness)

For 90% of my use case, MAMP is perfect for my development needs. The limitations are the trade off for not playing sysadmin for projects.

I do agree that if your needs are complex, you're better off compiling from scratch/playing sysadmin and last night it felt I probably should've did that to start off with. Thanks for the link on more CLI tricks.

Hopefully the future iterations of MAMP will build in PECL/PEAR support into their product. I don't think I needed to compile PHP to get things to work, I think I just needed to move that file. Since I did those compilations steps first, I have no way of knowing which steps produced the desired effect. I recommended the file moving because after doing the compile steps, I still received the error. Only after moving that file did things work. I have no way of telling if the compilation steps had any influence on that outcome.

if you're using MAMP PRO, you'll have to edit /Applications/MAMP PRO/Content/Resources/php53.ini

Re: expected exceptions annotations, mocked object calls, oh my.

chancegarcia — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 08:08:32 -0000

I guess I'm just being lazy. It doesn't put me out too much to make a Library_Tests_Exception class for when I'm trying to detect method calls via mock objects. Though it would be nice if PHPUnit had some sort of Exception for this kind of testing. ^^ or maybe I should rtfm and see if there is something I didn't know of. >.>

It's the only time I really check via message, probably best to break that habit altogether.

I think preventing it is a little extreme. what about doing something like

$e instanceof $this->expectedException && get_class($e)==$this->expectedException

as a check? I'm only objecting to preventing expecting "Exception" because I only see making a special exception class for when I'm trying to test for a specific method call in the behaviour. Now if there's a better way of doing this without resorting to throwing a base Exception, then I'm definitely interested.

Re: Auth/ACL implementation strategies

I haven't had time to put some of it to code because I've been busy with the Dev Derby thing and some deployment restructuring. When I did start working on it, the DB schema changed due to some faults found when trying to insert some initial values and finding there was no way to associate them. I did look up how Zend_Db_Table handles relationships and from what I remember, I may need to adjust the schema again. Will post a follow up on this when possible.

It makes sense. I think that the crayon thing was creative. Venn would be nice too. Personally I'd put twins or triplets. Either way, just putting the word Sets on that slide with the visual should be sufficient on bridging the visual connection. You might have been too clever there bro. =D

Re: Private: Roland DT-HD1 Drum Tutor - Learn To Play The Drums For Realsies

chancegarcia — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 08:35:12 -0000

Any idea if the software will work with the ION Drumrocker? Part of the allure of the Drumrocker is being able to Rock Band and have some real(ish) drums. I had a glitch with mine and have missed it since it has been in the shop. Planning on doing the real drum thing with it when it gets back but that's another story.

Re: New Accessory Bundle From Nintendo Seems Pointless

chancegarcia — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:41:33 -0000

The same thing happens with a few Rock Band music packs. Songs are $0.99 cents and the pack of 3 is $2.99. I always thought it odd and chalked off the $0.02 to convenience fee but definitely agree that bundles/packs should save you money.

Re: I’m Making a Home Office PC. Help?

chancegarcia — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 09:10:03 -0000

Going with your $1000 limit. I would get the following:
Home Office PC Build

-2 monitors (min 20 in with min ~1600x~1200 resolution) http://www.newegg.com/Produ... = ~$340
- quad core processor (http://www.newegg.com/Produ... =~$170
- motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Produ... = ~$60
- case http://www.newegg.com/Produ... = ~27
- cooling fan http://www.newegg.com/Produ... =~$22
- 4GB memory (ddr2 1066) http://www.newegg.com/Produ... = ~$82
- video card http://www.newegg.com/Produ... = ~$75
- hdd (320GB 16MB cache SATA3)x3 http://www.newegg.com/Produ... = ~$120
- external backup http://www.newegg.com/Produ... =~$90

the external drive puts you under the limit but I would personally spend the extra $30 to up it to 1TB. No solid justifications on some of the parts besides dual monitors increase my productivity and the multicore allows me to virtualize. Also, don't know if that budget limit is excluding shipping which was my assumption.
