The Never-Ending Hunt for an IDE

I've been through more IDE's than I can remember, but I may have stumbled onto a winner.

Using the Correct Ruler

Two puppets each holding a ruler with differing scales

Sometimes, the guys controlling the synapses are asleep at the switch, and things I've always known are momentarily gone. It's one thing when I know that to be the case — knowing what I don't know — such as seeing an actress on the screen and being asked who it is. I knew until I was asked. It's not knowing that I don't know that's the bigger problem...not realizing that I've forgotten, because the switchman hasn't fallen asleep, he's thrown the wrong switch.

Whenever I sit down to design the architecture of a new application, I sit back and ponder. For the past few years, my decision continues to be: php.

How does one determine if a given year is a leap year? It's a common belief that if the year is evenly divisible by 4, that it is a leap year. That is true most of the time, but not always.
