Programming Archives

A big part of my work has to do with code. I’ve worked as system administrator – installing, patching, and configuring someone else’s code. I’ve worked as independent programmer, writing code on my own. I also programmed as part of the team. And on top of that, I worked as Team Leader and Project Manager, where I had to interact a lot with programmers. Programming world on its own is as huge as the universe. There is always something to learn. When I find something worthy or something that I understand enough to write about, I share it in this category.

  1. Capsule – developer’s scratch pad

    By Leonid Mamchenkov

    I’ve just learned about Capsule, and I think you should too.

    It is based off WordPress, and does sound interesting.  But the two best things about it, I think, are that a developer can keep it private, and that a developer can connect his own Capsule to multiple Capsule servers.  That ought to be a killer feature, as the only two arguments that I’ve heard from developers trying to make them blog more were, if only I had a better way of organizing my private code snippets, and if only I could share them privately with project teammates.

    P.S.: I am also a big fan of using P2 theme for WordPress, which works wonders for project teams.  But Capsule seems to be an even better tool for developer kinds.

  2. I just patched up my first Ruby application (Redmine).  Made it do what I wanted, but didn’t enjoy any of it.

  3. Synergy – just move your mouse from one screen to another →

    Synergy lets you easily share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers on your desk, and it’s Free and Open Source. Just move your mouse off the edge of one computer’s screen on to another. You can even share all of your clipboards. All you need is a network connection. Synergy is cross-platform (works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux).

  4. You know you are doing something wrong, when you Google for “can I change the value of a PHP constant?”.
