Part of the purpose of my website is to be a sort of central site branching off to my social media presences, other sites, and things like my Flickr account. As such, I have a feed of my most recent blog posts and Flickr uploads featured on the front page. […]
Since it’s been five months since my last post on the recode, thanks to mostly focusing on work stuff, I figured it was a good time to do a status check and see where things stand. First, as I mentioned awhile back, I flipped my main host. While An Eclectic […]
In this registration system I’m currently coding, I have a custom Zend form to deal with a group of checkbox/input pairs (which I’ll post about later). For Zend forms, these come out with names like fieldname[row][number][whichfield]. Yep, three sets of square brackets. Fun fun! It works great for the Zend […]
Way back in 2013, I posted about using ColdFusion to pull data from an iTunes-capable RSS and CFFEED’s funkiness with it. For that post, I just put the bit of code that took the RSS contents and put it into a DB. It was a script for a client, that […]
I initially planned my first actual post to be on setting up Zend in a hosted environment. I’ve done what I think is needed, but I haven’t actually tested it due to the lack of a true hosted environment to push to just yet (I’ll have it before the end […]

This will hopefully be the start of a series of posts on my latest personal web project, updating my personal website An Eclectic World. This will be a big update, including: Flipping from ColdFusion with the Mach-II framework to PHP with Zend Framework 2 Flipping the database from PostgreSQL to […]
When I decided to flip from using Mango Blog to using WordPress, I didn’t really find any guides or articles talking about the process, so I thought I’d share what I did in case anyone else decides to make the same move, especially with Mango seemingly abandoned. I was on […]
The current application I'm working on has multiple "wizards", i.e. multi page forms that store data between the pages, allow moving back and forth, and so on. These wizards have some things in common, so I have a base controller their individual controllers all extend to access that common functionality, […]
The new site name is registered and the domain pointing here, for now. Going back to my web "roots", the site will be renamed to Eclectic Thoughts with the URL eclectic-thoughts.com (the URL without the dash was taken). I already mentioned in the last post how my first site is […]
