Going Intel :)

Friday, January 20th, 2006

My new Intel-based iMac should arrive today. I've ordered a customized version of 20-inch model - specifically maxed both RAM and VRAM to their limits (2Gb and 256Mb). I wonder how the new machine will perform, especially in comparison with my good old PowerBook G4 (1.25MHz, 1Gb RAM and tiny-weeny 32Megs or VRAM)

New Zend Studio

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

page0_blog_entry6_1.gifNew version of Zend Studio 5.1 was released today. Nothing really special actually except for support for PHP 5.1 (still don't use 5.x only features in production systems but books on the new version is on their way to me from amazon.com). Also, they FINALLY fixed the bloody bug when the program didn't remember default text encoding in prefs, reverting from Shift-JIS to the default encoding. What a relief.
I don't really have PHP systems to develop right away (stuck with FileMaker-based accounting system for some rice processing factory), but I'm eager to give the new version a full-fledged try.
