So, often times, all the cool, new workflows for agile development seems to come from the Rails camp of development. Ever wonder how some of that stacks up when using PHP?

Well, here’s one workflow I’ve adopted while developing in *ANY* language, but tends to be PHP more nowadays.

More coming soon.

Since I am feeling all happy and generous this new year (thus far at least), I figured I’d share a little recipe I came up with that is mostly good for you. 

Ingredients for Sweet & Spicy Stir Fry Shrimp
For The Sauce

For the Shrimp

• 15 - 20 pcs of medium shrimp, deveined/shelled/cleaned/tail off/thawed
• 1 (one) 16 oz package of Archer Farms Asian Stir-Fry Vegetables, thawed
• 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper, black peppercorn, white peppercorn

Instructions:

1. For the sauce, combine all ingredients except the green onion and garlic into a shallow mixing bowl; set aside.
2. Take the shrimp and lightly dust them with the cayenne/black/white pepper mix (what I like to call, “pink pepper”); set aside.
3. in a medium to large wok (or large skillet), heat to medium-high.
4. Drizzle some Peanut Oil, about 1 teaspoon, into pan. Spread around.
5. Take pan off heat momentarily and add the garlic.
6. Putting pan back on low-medium heat, let garlic cook and flavor without burning, about 1 1/2 minutes.
7. Discard garlic, add in the sauce mix from step one. Raise heat back to medium-high.
8. Allow ingredients to cook in together as it thickens a bit. Stir occasionally.
9. Add in green onions and Stir Fry vegetables. Stir fry for 3 minutes.
10. Lastly, add in shrimp. Stir frequently for about 3 - 4 minutes, or until shrimp are done.

And there you go, Sweet & Spicy Stir-Fry Shrimp.
This should yield about 4 full servings.

For those of you who may or may not know, I am a duly initiated brother of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. The chapter I was initiated into, ETA Chapter of the Metropolitan New York Area, (Bronx & Manhattan colleges), is gearing up to celebrate its 100th year of active community service, brotherhood, and fellowship.

ETA Chapter recently launched its new website at www.alphanyc.org - I invite anyone who sees this to get a peek at the save the date.

Greetings all.

So I finally upgraded to 2.7, and happy to say none of my content/plugins were affected. It was actually pretty painless.

And with that… comes the end of my hiauts. I had been missing all over the place (facebook, twitter, etc), but I am back. Not full time, but enough to where having this blog is worth while.

Cheers for 2009, and one rested developer.

Currently, I have a plethora of work to catch up on, continue, finish, and start. I shall resume some semblance of a blog here at some point in the not-so-near future.

Yes I know… a developer now talking about sales?

If you are the nyc area, you should visit the Barney Warehouse on 18th Street between now and September 1st. Everything is 50 - 75% off for the next two weeks.

Last sale, I lucked up with 5 pairs of shoes for $90 bucks - retail price on those shoes were a combined $1050. Talk about a SALE.
