Kids. Backuping your data is great. But assure you that your backups also contain your database. I’ve lost all the posts of this blogs and much more. Nothing to say that I was really pissed off.

I wanted to recreate this blog from scratch but got distract by other things. After a few months of procrastinating and slapping myself for not having a place to write, I found a great theme based on twitter bootstrap for wordpress and decided to give it a go. I’m pretty happy with that.

What is sfException?

As the sfException phpDoc says:

sfException is the base class for all symfony related exceptions and provides an additional method for printing up a detailed view of an exception.

If you look at the code of sfException you’ll see that sfException has a bunch of tool to wrap an exception inside an sfException. That’s why when an exception of any kind is thrown in symfony, you see a nice html output.

Fed up by using Eclipse (So slow) and Netbeans (always crashing), some folks at Sensio Labs told me to start using Vim. At first, I said: “Just the name makes me want to puke, but why not.”. A few weeks later, guess which tool I used to edit my code? Yes, Vim. No, I didn’t even puke!

VIM does not stand for “VIM Is Magic” but it could. It’s lightweight and usable everywhere. Whether you’re editing code, writing a blogpost in markdown or configuring an apache vhost over an ssh connection, it’s a wonderful tool to do the job.

• Step 1: Drink a few beers.
• Step 2: Drink some more.
• Step 3: Record your session.

Easy, isn’t it?
