El proyecto en el que trabajo es relacionado con el ciclismo, buddypress se llama http://mibici.mx y es acerca de tratar de formar una comunidad al rededor del bello deporte del ciclismo y jugar con algo de datos de GPS que ultimamente me he involucrado, he aprendido bastante de JavaScript y a usar algunas de las apis de mapas de google.

1. There’s a typo in the audioscrobber feed:

On the functions.php line 499 says:
$simple_url .= ‘/recentracks.rss’;
And should be:
$simple_url .= ‘/recenttracks.rss’;

2. I saw my flickr pictures being resized and comment two lines (103 annd 104) in the query-carousel.css:

#mycarousel img {
padding:3px;
border:1px solid #4f383d;
margin:0 13px 7px 0;
/*
height:40px;
width:40px;
*/
display:block;
}

This display the correct size of the flickr images, please let me know your comments on this new theme.

“include in the definition of ’users’ those who manage direct users, those who receive products from the system, those who test the system, those who make the purchase decision and those who use competitive products”.

“When we talk about identifying needs, therefore, it is not simply a question of asking people, ‘what do you need?’ and then supply it, because people doesn’t necessary know what is possible” … “Instead, we have to approach it by understanding the characteristics and capabilities of the users, what they are trying to achieve, how they achieve it currently, and whether they would achieve their goals more effectively and have a more enjoyable experience if they were supported differently”.

“it is always tempting for developers to create products they would want to use or similar to what they have done before”.

Pay attention to your users. :)

I’ll let you a couple of sites related to interface design interaction, http://www.useit.com and http://asktog.com.

I’m going to publish some of my first learning on this class soon.

I assume you have already installed eclipse 3.3 + pdt.

1. Download the corresponding debugger from: http://downloads.zend.com/pdt/server-debugger/, I use amd64 so I got ZendDebugger-5.2.12-linux-glibc23-x86_64.tar.gz.

2. Untar the file in a directory in your home, I used /home/user/Bin/ZendDebugger.

3. Edit your php.ini file and add the following directives:
zend_extension=/home/<user>/Bin/ZendDebigger/5_2_x_comp/ZendDebugger.so
zend_debugger.allow_hosts=127.0.0.1
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always

4. Verify that the extension is loaded with the simple function:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

5. Restart eclipse and start debugging!

On the photo side installed the excellent NextGen Gallery plugin, and I’m in the process to update my pictures.

Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: {servername}.

I tried several solutions like, updating the ntwdblib.dll (on windows; I had the same error on linux) library, configuring the tcp/ip properties on sqlexpress but nothing I still having the same error.

At the end I changed the ip address on the server name by the respective server name and finally worked!.

So instead of:


$server = 192.168.50.1;
$user = 'sa';
$password = 'sapassword';
$conn = mssql_connect($server, $user, $password);


Changed for:

$server = cmanonserver;

I’m trying to install the old PHPEclipse plugin. Wish me good luck!

UPDATE: I just downloaded the old PHPEclipse plugin and it worked with the Eclipse 3.2.2 IDE.

UPDATE: I just noticed that for the new version of PDT tools you need to run Eclipse with Java 5 JDK.
