Photoshop CS and the escape key gremlin…

This is a weird feature of photoshop CS (I’m still on CS2 but this still appears in CS3). When photoshop is open it hijacks the escape key functionality – i.e it stops it working for anything else that’s open!

I first saw this when I moved to a new development laptop using vista (it was ok in XP! surprise surprise) and finding that the escape key sporadically stopped working when using gVim. I thought I’d got a corrupted install so went throught the hastle of reinstalling this only to see the problem still there.

DACr Update

Phase2 of the DACr implementation is now finished. This is the finished front end interface. I’ve added some extra tweaks including the ‘dictionary & keyword’ sort and tidied up some code. The front-end is now done. I may add a ‘recently caught’ and ‘budget domains’ widget to the front page later time & inclination permitting.

php5: arrays, stdClass and best practice

php5.2+ is all about objects and a maturing OOP language. Up until now the reliable method to structure an associative list of items is by using an array

CODE:
  1. $arA = new array();
  2. $arA['one'] = 1;
  3. $arA['two'] = array('one','two');
  4. $arA['three'] = 'three';

Pitiful excuses for a DRS – it’s still not working!

I got a DRS notification recently. Fortunately the submission details were wrong and so it was invalid. But it gave me an excuse to look at the actual complaint and vent my anger/frustration at the still imperfect .uk DRS system and the glaring opportunity they missed when the system was reviewed recently.
