Check out iFindFast.com, it is a sample website powered by the Prado framework and Google Custom Search. From zero to published website in less than 1 hour. I installed the framework, added template, developed home page, unit tested, and done!

I understand that using a PHP-based framework is overkill for a simple search, but the sample is just that a sample. I plan to extend the site to include custom search tools and products, so keep an eye out.

Prado 3.1.2 Release

PHP No Comments »

The much anticipated 3.1.2 maintenance version has been released. It includes defect resolutions, minor enhancements, and several new components. A total of 105 tickets were closed in this maintenance release.

The Active Record relational object support has been enhanced, but what does this really mean? The Pradosoft.com site includes a brief note regarding RELATIONS type declarations and offers a couple of brief examples, not much more.

I am using the Active Record and SQL Mapper in a couple of personal projects and am interested in the enhanced functionality and relations support for PHP 5.2.3 +. Also, I plan to check out the new controls and review all of the tickets.

UFC 83 Fight Results

UFC No Comments »

First, I want to thank my friend Frank for hosting UFC 83 fight night at his house. I will host the BJ Penn vs. Sherk Monster fight night at my place next month. Now for the UFC 83 Serra vs. St-Pierre II fight results.

The winner of the much-anticipated Serra vs. St-Pierre II rematch is Georges St-Pierre of course. I do not know what the text poll participants were thinking giving Serra 45% chance of winning. Give me a break, the first win was a fluke. 

The undercards were unspectacular as usual! Are you listening Dana White? The worst fight of the night award goes to Nate Quarry vs. Kalib Starnes in a one-sided run away match. Kalib ran away the entire fight, what the hell?

The fans in attendance and pay-per-view fans received a good laugh when Quarry high stepped it and literally ran after Kalib. It gets better; Nate Quarry executes a series of robot-like air punches in frustration to end the fight. Boring!

Main card results:

  • Georges St-Pierre defeats Matt Serra (tko in round 2)
  • Rich Franklin defeats Travis Lutter (tko in round 2)
  • Michael Bisping defeats Charles McCarthy (tko in round 1)
  • Nate Quarry defeats Kalib Starnes (unanimous decision)
  • Mac Danzig defeats Mark Bocek (submission in round 3)
  • Jonathan Goulet defeats Kuniyoshi Hironaka (tko in round 2)
