It took a while but I’m proud to report my blog is running on PHP 7 🙂 Though it seems quite easy, it had some technical difficulties, mainly due to the obsoletion of the mysql extension in PHP 7.
How doing your best can burn you out
As I’ve let you know earlier on, I haven’t been blogging a lot for the last few years… I’ve let my readers down, i know, but in the midst of all the positive things ( busy on the job, getting married, becoming a father and so on ) there was also a period in this […]
Translation goodness with symfony2

Well, technically it’s not quite about the translation mechanism itself, it’s about the ease you can use a cookie to switch locales ( and languages as far as […]
Finally an update — long overdue
Hi everyone, First and foremost, I’m sorry It’s been quiet such a long time. It’s been over 2 years since my last update and man, did things changed in the mean time. Most importantly, I’ve been blessed with the birth of my son, a feisty little fellow who conquered my heart the moment he was […]

BizTalk WCF Send/Receive port connection...
The last few days I’ve been hunting down a problem which is quite common under users of WCF. It seems WCF will only honor a specified amount of concurrent connections ( at default this will be 10 concurrent connections ) before ‘freezing’. The most common causes of this ‘freeze’ are : forgetting to Close() the client […]
Unexpected downtime
As you might have noticed, I’ve been experiencing a few days of downtime. This was mainly caused by the OS / Webserver configuration on the server, which caused the webserver to abort itself every few minutes. I’ve reinstalled the server and now the problems should be fixed.
