I've dodged this one long enough: It's time to start a blog.
Having meant to get one going for ages now – well over a year – I've finally given in and (re-)installed WordPress. An abortive attempt at starting one earlier this year was made with WP as well, and I've always liked it, so rather than try to excuse another long delay by coding my own, I've chosen to put my faith in this here piece of blogware. Apathy be damned, I'm going to post!
Subject change. I've started playing with SimpleTest, a unit-testing framework for PHP. I think I've been bitten by the test-driven development bug, after reading SitePoint's Advanced PHP forum (as was) for the better part of two years. I have that uncomfortable and similarly unshakeable feeling that this is something I'd never have been able to avoid; it just makes so much sense, now that I understand the "why"s (and the beginnings of SimpleTests's hows).
Change again. I sadly had to miss Geek In The Park, organised by Trevor Morris and the Multipack (of which I'm a member), but it appears to have been a resounding success.
I won't be able to make it to the Multipack's September meeting, either, and the October one is turning out to be less of a sure thing for me than I thought, which would be a real shame, since it's the Multipack's first birthday. :( We'll have to see what happens.
Anyway, welcome to my blog, and kudos to you if you get the blog's name and tagline reference. ;) Expect the appearance to change in the coming...time.
