Just wanted to talk real quickly about some updates I made to my site today. Nothing too major, just putting some of the finishing touches on the site construction itself before turning my focus towards building the actual content.

I've just put this website live! I'm pretty excited about it!

I'm currently working on building an API with Zend Framework and JSON-RPC. As I was creating this API I wanted an interface that I could use to test the implementation, but without having to do a lot of work or install any software. After some quick Google searches I stumbled upon the jQuery.Zend.jsonrpc plugin and quickly got it working. This plugin is great, setup for it was a breeze and I was able to make API requests in no time. But what I didn’t like, was that I had to modify some javascript code everytime I needed to test a new API method.

I have been using Eclipse based editors for years for all of my development. Whether it's javascript, Java, or PHP I've always used some flavor of Eclipse and never had a problem. They always work, have great autocomplete and intellisense. However, for some larger files and projects they always run slow or even crash frequently, in my experience.
