The Return of the Return of the Line Break in Zend_Reflection

I can't tell if there is a problem in Zend_Reflection or the underlying PHP_Reflection upon which it is based, but I used reflection to create actions in ZF, that is, to add a method to the controller class definition, and got a case of odd return doublings. That is, an extra line was spaced throughout the body text of the methods that already existed.

Why I Am The Greatest Developer Ever

Okay, so I can't completely tell you due to NDA restrictions but when you develop....

Mocha UI

Another Javascript UI framework -- haven't used, but looks nice

Debalkanizing Meetup.com

This is an open letter to the people who run Meetup.com.

First off I want to let you know the people you serve truly appreciate what you have put together. I've been attending Meetups for years and its really great to have this turnkey system for spawning associations.

Windows 7: Possible Slogans

Every time you release a new product you need a captivating slogan to capture the imagination of your target market. With Windows 7 coming out, I'd like to suggest:

One More reason to love Dojo

So its not exactly magic -- but if you have to do a "check all" checkbox on a list of things, Dojo's query method works quite nicely:

JavaFX Revisited

Like most thinks Java (oh yes, it is Java) JavaFX does have a protective membrane preventing people who don't know what they are doing (or who don't RTFM) from using it. Once you break through, though, there is a termendous amount of UI and linguistic power behind the platform.
