Milestone achieved finally...

After some heavy coding finally put together a Seagull based Feeder module`s first milestone (will publish it soon somewhere), it is working on RSS atm, but soon it will evolve to other feeds as well. It has autoUpdate where updateable feeds are ordered by bayesian rating, with limits etc. It maps discovered Items to a generic Content class, so it will be a great content provider. I am really excited about it, and cant wait to see it in production which is yet to come. Next steps include caching, and a bit refactoring, as the project evolves. It should be a news aggregator service, with some fresh ideas, but basics should be done first :)

Zend Neon Impressions

Hopefully found my next php IDE. I have just installed Zend Studio For Eclipse. So here are the first impressions. I wanted to move over to Eclipse for a while now, but got used to ZDE which is decent IDE, but its HTML/CSS support is bellow poor. First impressions are great, easy install, a little headache (more about reasons, and thanks for help), but finally I can debug my Seagull installs from IDE directly (a bit slowly though). Now I have to get used to new keyboard shortcuts but nevermind (I delete all the time instead of duplicate, what is rather annoying :). Eclipse has rather large coding language base, and well supported plugins and together with Zend Eclipse is a great thing to have.
