Day 5: My conservative bad habits
Posted November 23, 2009

Didn’t make it to post yesterday… but hey, I got a normal life too
Let’s talk about bad habits. Because I got some, and I wonder if you do too! Most of my bad habits are a result of me being a bit conservatie sometimes. It’s just that I’m stuck to certain habits and can’t seem to change them, allthough I could get benefit from it.
- I use Zend Devlopment Environment, but I never create projects. So I’m constantly browsing my drives when opening files.
- I don’t have a folder on my drive with important files and scripts in it so I can easily copy them when I need them. You don’t wanna know how many times I have downloaded jQuery…
- Sometimes I start my browser, go to Google Analytics, check my statistics, close the browser, start the browser again, go to Google Analytics again, and check my statistics again…
- Same with checking my Hotmail. I sometimes check my mail knowing that I don’t have any…
- I use WS_FTP 95, which on certain hosting providers automatically disconnects the ftp connection after about 30 seconds of inactivity. So almost each time I want to upload a file I have to connect again.
- I haven’t installed php + mysql locally, so when I’m working on a project, with every change I do, I have to upload the modified files to see the result…
- I don’t have a file, or handy webapp which contains all my usernames and passwords like ftp, mail, mysql, etc… So when I need a certain password, I have to digg through thousands of e-mail finding the right mail containing the login and password.
- I never use Firebug
- My default page in Firefox is Google. When I start my browser and want to search, I always type www.google.com first in the address bar, regardless of the fact that Google is already open…
That’s what I can think of right now. When I think of something else I will add it to the list! I guess….
So, what about your bad habits!!
See you tomorrow!

Wow, you suck.
Indeed, on these issues I suck a lot!
Luckily, there are still issues left on which I don’t suck
Oh man!
So, any idea when you’ll change the first two?
I used zend especially because of two things:
ctr + clik to go to function etc
)
find in project ( locate anything easely, find and replace in project is best
