That's so Web 1.0

Watching the web buzzwords change with the seasons reminds me of the dance number in The Wiz where the Wiz keeps announcing the new official color from on high, and everyone dutifully scrambles to keep up with the trend.

With his essay Web 3.0, Jeffrey Zeldman does a nice job of pointing out that plus Ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Remarkable

This morning I tried unsuccessfully to get CakePHP's built-in 'Access Control List' feature working. I get the impression that ACL is bleeding edge stuff, and that the current documentaion is not accurate (or it may be that the functionality just doesn't quite work right out of the box.) That's OK. CakePHP is still quite young, and for my current purposes ACL looked like overkill anyway.

After A Couple of Hours with CakePHP

I like it. The Rails-style scaffolding feature is mighty impressive, as is the associations feature that provides application logic for foreign key/join relationships across tables (which is subsequently reflected in the built-in scaffolding views).

A few weeks ago I was working on a personal project, a web application that I put together using J2EE. (By no means is it an "Enterprise" application, but there's no other acronym that accurately summarizes "Servlets/JSP/Tomcat").

Fixing PHP MySQL Support after MacOS 10.4.4 Upgrade

I upgraded to OS 10.4.4 a couple of days ago, and this morning discovered that PhpMyAdmin was telling me it couldn't connect to the database despite the fact that I knew mysqld was running, and accessible via the command-line client.

Fortunately, the fix is very simple - edit your /etc/php.ini (or create it, if it doesn't exist) file and make sure the mysql.default_socket line looks like this:

mysql.default_socket =/tmp/mysql.sock
