My nightly development routine is fairly consistent. I hack some code, commit it, hack some. Before bed, I take a look at the commits and see if everything is in a stable state that actually makes sense to push. If so, I push it. Otherwise, I save it for another day. I then suspend my [...]

While working on a project of mine, I noticed that overriding toString() on an object would not cause it to show up when looping through the object’s properties with for in Internet Explorer 6 (I have not tested what other versions are affected). My suspicious were verified on StackOverflow:

In my MyCustomBB Blog a while back, I discussed the PHP’s decision to change the namespace separator to a backslash. Until recently, this patch hadn’t yet been applied. Therefore, I continued developing my code using the old static operator (::).
Well, I recently installed the new PHP 6 snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/ and found that my code [...]
