		<title>PHP profiling: comparisons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An application I created used a lot of MySQL ENUMS.  They are kind of useful, in that the value of an ENUM column does not need a lookup.  The downside is that it lead to a lot of string comparisons in the code, and this became a prime suspect when performance degraded. However a colleague [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenLaszlo: how you get there is more important than where you are going</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WHAT BROKE This is the old version of the method.  It finds some specific views and scans their datapaths, to see if any entries match.  This version mostly worked fine, but occassionally it would fail, and finding the cause of the failure was proving difficult.     &#38;lt;method name=&#34;check_ok&#34; args=&#34;from, to&#34;&#38;gt;         &#38;lt;![CDATA[         for (var [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenLaszlo: saving LzLoader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing that tripped me up early on is a know bug in the OpenLaszlo loader.  Basically, if a view is destroyed before the resource completes loading, then the loader chokes and nothing more is heard from it.  Unsurprisingly, this is very very bad. The bug is documented here:     bug: destroy before resource is [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenLaszlo: who&#8217;s watching the loader?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being able to see when LzLoader is active is very useful when an application is under development. The following code displays &#8220;Loading&#8221; whenever the loader is active. The display is text. The text has an &#8216;id&#8217; of &#8216;loading&#8217; and &#8216;visibility&#8217; set to false. &#38;lt;text id=&#34;loading&#34; x=&#34;10&#34; y=&#34;10&#34; visible=&#34;false&#34; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;fontsize=&#34;12&#34; fgcolor=&#34;white&#34; fontstyle=&#34;bold&#34;&#38;gt; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;Loading &#38;lt;/text&#38;gt; The display [...]]]></description>
