Suppressing errors with PHP's @ operator
by Cameron
Don't do it.
I know this has been covered in various places around the Interwebs, but I'd like to add my voice to the chorus - every time you use @ to suppress a warning or error you can't be bothered dealing with, a puppy dies. There is essentially no good reason to use it, and if it ends up suppressing an unforseen yet important error, you're going to have a nightmare of a time trying to track it down.

Turn an old PC into a media centre with boxee
by jeremy
Years ago I purchased my first Xbox and with my love of the saying "If it’s working fine then hack it”... I of course instantly ripped it apart and mod’d it to run homebrew, a non Microsoft certified operating system. Over the following few years I found a wealth of fantastic applications that would run on my trusty mod’d Xbox, however nothing ever came close to the one killer app... XBMC or Xbox Media Center.
How Google Maps Can Benefit You
by Evan
Recently, I had to locate a store I knew only by name but not the address of. In order to find this store, I used my phone to access Google Maps and searched for the name of the store. Within seconds, I was shown the location of the store as well as the option to get directions to the store from my current location.
The Rise of Magento
by Evan
As I touched on in my last blog entry, we're big fans of the Magento Ecommerce platform here at DogHouse Media. We've got a number of Magento sites under our collective belts with a number more in the pipeline. Magento is a fairly new Ecommerce platform, but it makes a number of improvements over its predecessors, such as OsCommerce.
A Month and Half in the DogHouse
by Evan
Hi, my name is Evan, and this is my first entry for The Hind Leg. You probably won’t have spoken to me yet, or even heard of me. I am, as they say, “the new guy”. At the beginning of July I was offered a position here as a developer. Since then, time has flown by. I feel like I’ve been exposed to more information, techniques and experiences than I ever could have in an academic environment. I just thought I’d share some of these experiences of the last few weeks.
