Since a few weeks the new generation of the Zend IDE for PHP is available. Instead of the completely Zend-written IDE that there used to be, this one is based on the Eclipse platform, a platform I've never really been a fan of...

I have been planning to do some sort of radio show for my website Electronic Music World for quite a while. One of my plans was to write a module for WebKoffer which handled this. But too little time and a bit of laziness always held me back. Yesterday, Chris Sisk pointed me towards LoudBlog, an open source PHP/MySQL weblog/CMS package that is meant especially for PodCasts (or AudioFeeds, if you don't want to use the Apple term too much). This sounded like a good solution, especially since you can also link to third party sites that hold mp3's, something that is quite useful in saving diskspace, especially with services like Archive.org and Scene.org. And yes, I am quite impressed with LoudBlog. It's easy to install, and quite easy to manage your AudioFeed. Adding new files/posts is simple, and altering the layout to fit in with the rest of your site is also quite easy with the (XSLT-based?) template system. So yeah, I'm quite happy with it. Check it out at the Electronic Music World Radio.

For a while, I've been looking at several implementations of Wiki software. MediaWiki is nice, but very heavy on the server. Not weird, considering the software is loaded with features. Of course, a lot of those features are hardly needed, so I chose to stay away from MediaWiki. After trying various other Wiki implementations, I came by WikkaWiki. It has all the usual features of a wiki, but isn't too loaded with features that I don't need. I just need some wiki functionality. Looking at the code, it was quite easy to customize. And fully XHTML and CSS-based, which is also a big plus. And so I now have a fully functional wiki for my Electronic Music World website. I also immediately made a slight change to the code.
