When you download JQuery plugins there are often two versions. A ‘normal’ version and a compressed (*.min.js) version. The purpose of this compressed file is to speed up your application, especially for slow speed internet connection. A very good website/tool to compress your Javascript files is http://dean.edwards.name/packer/. I tried a couple of files and it will reduce the JavaScript file size with 50%.

Wicket provides you with a build-in request logger. It can give you a lot of information. See also example below. To activate this logger you have to enable the logger and setup (in our case) some Log4j configuration. In this post I’ll show you how to get this done.

When you commit a file or files to your repository it’s not, by default, required to fill in a message or comment. If you want to force your users to do so. then you can use the pre-commit hook. A pre-commit hook is a script which will be evaluated and if everything is fine then it will exit with code 0 and commits the file(s). This script is very powerfull and can be written in different languages like Python, Perl or Bash. This article describes a simple pre-commit hook.

Today I installed Subversion on my Synology DS209+ NAS. A very good point to start is this step-by-step tutorial written by the guys of Synology. Installing Subversion was/is very easy because there is an IPKG package available which will download and configure all dependencies for you. If you don’t know how to install IPKG, just read this blog.

To understand a bit more of how Subversion exactly works, visit this website, where you can download a free e-book in a lot of different formats (like pdf / HTML).

IPKG is a Package Management System, this means that you can install packages on your NAS with a single command like ipkg install PackageName. This article will describe step-by-step how to do this.

Today I was trying to build a simple Zend application. However everytime when I did a fetchAll query, Apache crashes completely.

$clubFinder = new Club();
$this->view->clubs = $clubFinder->fetchAll();

In the error log (./apache/logs/error.log) I found the following line Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting. After a long search on the Internet I found this thread which solves the problem for me. The only thing I had to do was download this package and replace the libmysql.dll file in the apache/php and /php folder with the one in the zip.)  Software used: XAMP 1.7.0 / Vista 32 bit / Zend 1.7.4.
