Fast CakePHP Search With IndexTank
Published: 06/01/2011
I’ve previously posted my ghetto CakePHP search function. This time I’m going to show you a much better method, mainly by offloading the work to people who really know how to do search.

Published: 05/30/2011
If you didn’t know already, GitHub is freaking awesome. One of my favorite features is gists. Gists are a simple code pasting and sharing service. Also perfect for displaying code in blog posts.
I’ve grown tired of dealing with libraries to make my code examples look good. Some don’t work that well, changes aren’t revisioned, and they all around kind of suck to mess with. So in an effort to fix all that, I have decided to start using gists for my code examples.

When working on a project recently I came across the need to be able to add some text to a canvas element.

After a little hacking around I came up with something that handled my needs and hopefully may help someone else in the future.
(This doesn’t look the best in the end, but you can easily add some css styles to make it look better)

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
