We’ve been working on an API client and making decent progress while we discover new tools that we can use to improve our development work. If you’ve been following along, you may be asking why it seems we’ve made so little progress in implementing all the functionality available for the API.

I was, (un)fortunately, on vacation out of state and did not have direct access to my usual machines to apply the patch. by Eric Mann

Symfony: The framework that sounds like you probably need to blow the dust off the box before you use it. But hey! Don’t be fooled – it might be old, but it’s also still got the moves that keep the new kids on the block on their toes. by Christopher Miller
