Textpad PHP manual lookup tool
Posted by Howard Yeend in PHP, Productivity on February 1, 2010
A little tip for those of us using textpad to develop in PHP. How often do you find yourself having to go back to PHP.net to check up on a function – is it ($needle, $haystack) or ($haystack, $needle)? I can never remember! With this tool I just need to highlight the function in textpad, press Ctrl-1 and up pops php.net in a new tab, opened on that function’s manual entry. Neat huh?
Here’s how:
Prevent RSI with WorkRave

harness the healing power of sheep with Workrave
For the last few months, I’ve been using workrave on my windows machine to remind me to take regular breaks.
I know we’ve all seen similar software floating about the net for years, and like me you probably thought “oh cool, I’ll use that some day”. Well make today that day!

Setting up a WAMP Server by hand
Posted by Howard Yeend in Apache on January 15, 2009
This article will step through what you need to do get WAMP (Windows, Apache, mySQL, PHP) running on windows 2000, 98 or XP. (It might work with Vista, ME or 95, but I don’t promise anything)
By the end, you’ll have a versatile tool that will allow you to:
-host your own website (permanent internet connection preferable)
-learn a basic programming language (PHP)
-learn about relational databases (mySQL)
-learn about server config on the industry standard webserver (apache)
all without having to install a new operating system.
win32 C / C++ scripts
Posted by Howard Yeend in Other Code on January 5, 2005
Some of the better scripts I’ve written. They’re all command line utilities. The downloads come with code (compiles OK with ) and windows executables.
Everything is released under the GPL as usual.
I’m very much a beginner in C so the coding probably isn’t that great. I hope someone will find something here useful. Most of the code is my own work, and where I’ve used other people’s code I’ve commented it as such. Read the rest of this entry »
