Zend Framework tutorials – RFC
After a talk on #zftalk I'm thinking to start witting a site that would allow the Zend Framework community to submit learning material.
The site is going to be called Zend Framework Tips
I have a few ideas of my own, but i want to hear more from you.
Counting Crows Goes Label-Free
Counting Crows is joining Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails in the initiative to release music outside of the normal music industry (label/distributor).
Lead Singer Adam Duritz announces on the bands website:
The internet opens a world of limitless possibility, where the only
boundaries are the boundaries of your own imagination. We want a chance
to push those boundaries back as far as we can. Unfortunately, the
directions we want to go and the opportunities we want to pursue are
often things that our label is simply not allowed to do. We've been
friends for a long time and we've worked together for a long time so
they understand the direction we need to go in and we understand why
they can't always go there with us. We all want what's best for
everyone which is why we've decided to part ways.
Jono Bacon started the severed fifth project a while ago, which aim is to prove that a band can make it on it's own and i'm sure he will succeed.
Bad memories…
This still brings back bad memories...

Timed cycling of DOM elements using Javascript
I had the following sequence of code:
<ul id="parent">
<li>test 1</li>
<li>test 2</li>
<li>test 3</li>
<li>test 4</li>
<li>test 5</li>
</ul>
What i wanted to achieve was to add the class "selected" to the childrens of #parent one at a time, having some delay in between. When then next element is selected, then the element before it should lose the selected class.
Based on the great work of cmarshall at http://www.webmasterworld.com/javascript/3449722.htm and adding a bit of jQuery i was able to build a page using jQuery that does that.
I didn't bother to put the all the code here, you can just view source in the demo. The code is pretty much commented so you shouldn't have any problem understanding it.

Features i’d like to see in a GTD application
I've been working for more than 6 years in "software" development doing php programming as a freelancer and for my own company. After all these years i find that most time on developing a project is spent understanding what you have to do and letting other know what they have to do. In other words, getting things done.
The application to let u better organize should:
1. let you add tasks fast, without getting your hands off the keyboard
2. allow you to collaborate with others (ie: assign tasks to them and get tassk from them)
3. track time you spend on a task
4. invoice clients based on the time spent on their tasks
5. not get in your way
6. have a desktop and a web version
Each task should support:
- comments
- file attachments
- subtasks
More to come. Feel free to sugest what would you like to see in such an application.
Getting Things done in Gnome
Yesterday i ran into Lionel Dricot's post on Planet Ubuntu regarding the newly launched app: Getting Things Gnome!
The first official release of Getting Things Gnome!, GTG "Just 5
minutes more" 0.1, is out! Grab it and test it!GTG is a personal organizer for the GNOME desktop environment, it
focuses on ease of use and flexibility, while keeping things simple.
What i like best about GTG is that it doesn't get in your way. You can easily add new tasks whitout having to get your hands away from the keyboard.
The next thing i would like implemented in GTG is colaboration. It would be great for multiple ppl to assign tasks to eachother and get reports when the tasks they have assigned to someone are completed.
To get involved in this project please visit it's launchapd page: https://launchpad.net/gtg/
