Since my last post a lot has changed in my life. I finally have a job and it’s going really good. I’m a consultant for SugarCRM working on their Internal Application Team. Working at Sugar is very different than any development job that I’ve had to date. It’s challenging in may different way and I’ve grown to liking the work flow of I log in and work on my assigned tickets and then when when 6 p.m. rolls around I sign off for the day and not have to worry about anything like I did while working at IMS. It’s a lost less stressful and I have my weekends back to get to spend with friends and family.
With my free time I’ve had a chance to work on some hobby projects such as Tiger Sports Nation which is a website for finding out about the Warsaw Tigers Sports Teams and providing a way for people around the community to get updates on how the Tigers are doing. It’s been fun working with my friends from High School on this projects. It’s really kind of weird as we tried doing this back in ’98 or ’99 and the school shut it down and now they are all for us doing this, my how times have changed.
That’s all for now. I hope to start posting more and more.

It gave me a Table name option not set.

If your like me and have people who like to write stuff in MS Office first and then post it to the web you get the silly quotes and such that word uses. The quotes and such are not valid UFT-8 and that’s how I like to store my data in my database so it usually dumps out with an error.
I’ve come up with the following Zend_Filer_Interface so that way you can plug it into anything that has the ability to use Zend_Filter.

Just a quick post here but my friend Rob Allen of akrabat.com has updated his Zend Framework tutoral to use the new features of Zend Framework 1.8.
This tutorial is intended to give an introduction to using Zend Framework to write a simple database driven application. It has been extensively rewritten for version 1.8 of the framework and takes full advantage of the Zend_Tool command line script and Zend_Application for bootstrapping. Other components used include Zend_Controller, Zend_View, Zend_Db_Table and Zend_Form.
