I know I’ve been away a while, but I’ve been knee deep in preparing for our upcoming show and finishing up on some projects at work and at home. More relevantly (is that even an adjective?), I’ve been implementing the Yahoo! UI JS/CSS libraries, augmented with Jack Slocum’s excellent Yui-Ext. It provides incredible flexibility and code […]
I’ve just stumbled upon a bug in IE6 that doesn’t manifest itself in IE7, and it has to do with floated elements. I’ve used 4 floated columns to display 4 independent DIVs and floated them all left within a container DIV element. During development, I’ve been changing widths of the columns to get them aligned just […]
Now, this may sound as an oxymoron in itself - how exactly does vagueness help keep the overall picture in focus?

If you’re familiar with the 0.6.3+ release of Symfony, you may have heard of/used the control panel, which was previously available for use only on localhost. It did feature a lot of CLI alternatives, but frankly, I found the console to be a much better alternative. But with the new release, Control Panel is back, […]
Well, seems that Fabien and company have been busy little beavers and have managed to put together a Definitive Guide to Symfony, which was in the pipeline for some time now, waiting for Symfony to mature into the 1.0 release.
As you may have noticed in the title, this introductory post is meant to be a quick heads-up on just what exactly YASB is about and who’s writing here. Currently, I’m the lone writer on this blog, but hoping to have other writers join in on the fun. The prevailing theme on this blog will be, […]
