Does the Norway initiated IE6-campaign work?
Very many of you have by now noticed the national and international campaign against Internet explorer 6. Several major sites (wired, the register, digg, slashdot) picked up the story, and the word spread at an amazing speed.
The interesting question is, does it have any effect? Pål Nedregotten, Channel Manager at API, which has 50 [...]
Current international web sites warning against Internet Explorer 6
As mentioned earlier, there is a national collaboration amongst Norwegian web sites to make people upgrade their IE6 installation to something better; where better is anything from IE7 to Safari.
Being on a Mac, I have no easy way to actually see these warnings. I thought it would be cool to see, so I started asking [...]

Nice summary of common security problems encountered in web development
Dave Child has written a very informative and good description with examples of Cross-Site scripting(XSS), Cross-Site request forgery(CSRF) and how character encodings can cause security problems. Check out the article at addedbytes.com. I highly recommend anyone working with web development either as professional or for hobby to read his article.

TextMate 2.x – Room for speculation, with sources.
Here I have compiled a list of changes that might make it into TextMate 2.x. Notice the “x”, because it means it wont necessarily be first, second or even third minor upgrade.
Phusion Passenger/modrails – Apache 2… not found – Could not find ‘apachectl’ or ‘apache2ctl’
Yesterday I was going to install Phusion Passenger also known as modrails to have another go at ruby on rails. Earlier I’ve been using Mongrel as web server, but I’m not very comfortable with it. But since modrails was released not too long ago, I figured I could give it whirl. The installation instructions were [...]
TextMate(2) – What we can expect to come.
I know I wasn’t the only one who immediately thought of TextMate2 when I read that some new Duke Nukem Forever footage was released,. The first thing I did was to log onto the TextMate irc channel and give Allan a wink.

For some reason, symfony 1.1’s new sfForm class is using sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterTable by default, instead of sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterList. This means that you get a form based on tables, while I prefer to think of my form as a list to fill in. To change this you can use this chain:

Symfony, a PHP web application framework
Recently I made a library for a client which needed database access, cache and configuration. For this I decided to try Zend Framework for the first time. ZF was excellent for this, because you can cherry-pick what components you want, without having to include everything. For my next project however I’m going to build a [...]
