So I flew to Timaru yesterday. It was the first time I have been this far south. Quite exciting.

Just as I was leaving the plane, the lady in front of me turns and asks:

¨Do you have a ride to town? I have a taxi waiting if you wanna join me¨

Turns out the airport is like 10k from the city. That worked out well.

Then I spent the night under a bush. The south island is very cold at night time.

Today was also successful. I stood in the beautiful sun and surroundings, saw many lakes and hills and ran over a Weka. (The Weka part was not so much success as accident, and im not even sure it was a Weka, just a poor little black thing who liked to play on the road)

Four rides later I am now sitting in Queenstown looking at the Remarkables.

If you have a CSS class in your skin (This is assuming that CSS compression is still turned on) and you do not want it to be changed into a 'compressed name' (After you have deployed your skin) then you cannot have any corresponding names.

For example, if you want the add a class 'temp' into an element of your site via MDF and need to use this class with JS, then you cannot have a CSS entry matching it, else the class will get compressed, thus changed!

This solves the case of the missing class's!

Pro Tip: Some stuff you need to double class to override default styles eg: .powerClass.styleClass{

So I have been on contract again, doing the Oracle. Specifically, Webcenter Spaces 11g (11.1.1.3.0). It has been a great learning experience so far, although difficult, as document issues constantly arise.

One of the main issues I had is finding the newist versions, and the correct paths (Often paths within the doc do not work, thus you need to have an idea where it came from in order search it out)

Now I have no idea how to find this page from within their site, but was lucky enough to be sent it from a friend: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/white-papers-088385.html

So here it is, the golden link! Now, if only it was 2 weeks ago...

Tips for using salt.

Number one: always make sure the salt pouring part is not set to the big setting before salt pouring commences.

My shortcut scripts for building symfony projects. I store these in one letter commands, eg: my build is /bin/f

Build Propel:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Tryin to build all symfony OBJECTS..."
./symfony propel:build-model
./symfony propel:build-sql
./symfony propel:build-forms
./symfony propel:build-filters
echo "Build attempt finished"

Load Propel:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Tryin to load all symfony DATA..."
./symfony propel:insert-sql --env=dev  --no-confirmation
./symfony propel:data-load --env=dev

Build Doctrine:

#!/bin/sh
#./symfony doctrine:clean-model-files
./symfony doctrine:build --all-classes --sql

Load Doctrine:

#!/bin/sh
./symfony doctrine:drop-db
./symfony doctrine:build-db
./symfony doctrine:insert-sql --env=dev
./symfony doctrine:data-load --env=dev

In regards to current Church inability or unwillingness to deal with resurgent heresy's.

"Protestant theology has been especially weak here, for it suffers from what at times appears to be a pathological inability to recognize that fundamental questions were both raised and decisively answered in the period between the days of the apostles and those of the reformers." - Homoousios with the Father, Heron.
