If I talked to god he?d tell me why
There?s something going on
Dark people walking by
This morning is the day after the next
Escape my only dream
Cos I?m the only one again

But life is better spent inside your world
Butterfly that sings
Causes me to fall once more
Tomorrow you are only half a friend
Machines control your mind
And neon strips above my head

Come tomorrow, come tomorrow
There?s never been an answer
There?s always someone else to follow
And you are coming down, and you are coming down
Giving me the reasons for your lies

And when you turn me inside out
Don?t know what you feel or dream about
And then you take me upside down
Remember my face, my name, my town

When i think of god he knows my mind
I?m wondering what?s wrong
What will the devil find
Tomorrow you will find there?s no way out
With nowhere left to turn
There?s no place left to hide from him

In a city made of sand
We found our way out
But without a helping hand
We?re free

Turn me inside out
Don?t know what you dream about
Take me upside down
Take me, take me
And you turn me inside out
Don?t know what you dream about

This summer ends with an almost sweet taste. I’m almost done with the University but I don’t want to brag until I have the signed paper on my hands. New (almost) things rise on the horizon. Let’s hope this year hands out some miracles at last. A lot of work happened the last months and a lot more is awaiting me on the corner.

I’m conceptually working on some sites these days and on some web applications and trying to keep a low profile until I have publishable data

You probably read about http://www.ktolis.gr/lang/el/2008/05/15/steps-for-a-successful-symfony-living-part-1/ which is a quick guide on how to get started with propel on symfony back on the days of symfony 1.2. Now Symfony 1.4 is live and doctrine is the *new* kid on the block. We need to see how to get started with this one.. Lets see..

First download the symfony 1.4.x tarball from http://www.symfony-project.org/installation/1_4 I downloaded 1.4.5 for example. Then type in the terminal :

$ tar -zxf symfony-1.4.5.tgz
$ mkdir -p lib/vendor
$ mv symfony-1.4.5 lib/vendor/symfony

This will make the lib/vendor/symfony structure with the contents of the tarball. You can now dispose of the tarball with rm symfony-1.4.5.tgz . Now you can generate a new project like so:

./syfmony generate:project snake

Now create a new placeholder application by typing

./symfony generate:app frontend

We need to type now this command to link to the right graphics too:

ln -s /<absolute.path.to>/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf web/sf

Now configure the database connection by editing the file config/databases.yml:

all:

doctrine:

class: sfDoctrineDatabase

param:

dsn:      mysql:host=db_hostname;dbname=db_title

username: database_user

password: password

Edit your database/model schema at config/doctrine/schema.yml like so:

Link:
columns:
url: { type: string(256), notnull:true }
title: { type: string(256), notnull:true }    title:

and type:

s doctrine:build –all –and-load

to build the database sql, run the sql script, create the model and load the fixtures (if you have any) and thus replace anything that was there already. You are good to go. Enjoy your coffee now. You can code now

I fail to bring matters to a closure lately. Once more my mind is drifting. Maybe it’s the summer, maybe it’s the moody weather that suddenly fell over Thessaloniki. Maybe it’s some bad karma/mojo my star sign is passing through. On the other side as a side-effect I am highly focused on anything that hasn’t got to do with my deeds. I even fixed the plumbing yesterday at home. It almost feels like I need some escape (-mechanism?). Voices from the past tried the last months to reach me but I don’t see the point anymore. I’m full of their bull* anyway and who needs chicks with a reality distortion field anymore? Some others on the other side aren’t as it seems. After a tiresome wedding weekend things seem to cool down (or not) in a strange way. I need a quick dirty fix and time is eluding me. I’m pretty much at the point in Dr. House where he realizes he needs the puzzle as a quick fix after he stays clear from Vicodin for three months and although all know he solves the puzzle nobody tells him about it.

Gaga/Beyonce – Telephone…

Hello hello baby you called
I can’t hear a thing
I have got no service
In the club, you say? say?
Wha-Wha-What did you say,
Oh, you’re breaking up on me
Sorry, I cannot hear you
I’m kinda busy.

K-kinda busy
K-kinda busy
Sorry, I cannot hear you, I’m kinda busy.

Just a second,
It’s my favorite song they’re gonna play
And I cannot text you with
A drink in my hand, eh
You shoulda made some plans with me,
You knew that I was free.
And now you won’t stop calling me;
I’m kinda busy.

Stop callin’, stop callin’,
I don’t wanna think anymore!
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.
Stop callin’, stop callin’,
I don’t wanna talk anymore!
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.

Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin’ me!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin’ me!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

Can call all you want,
But there’s no one home,
And you’re not gonna reach my telephone!
Cuz i’m out in the club,
And I’m sippin’ that bubb,
And you’re not gonna reach my telephone!

Call when you want,
But there’s no one home,
And you’re not gonna reach my telephone!
Cz i’m out in the club,
And I’m sippin’ that bubb,
And you’re not gonna reach my telephone!

Beyonce:

Boy, the way you blowin’ up my phone
Won’t make me leave no faster.
Put my coat on faster,
Leave my girls no faster.
I shoulda left my phone at home,
‘Cause this is a disaster!
Callin’ like a collector -
Sorry, I cannot answer!

Not that I don’t like you,
I’m just at a party.
And I am sick and tired
Of my phone r-ringing.

Beyonce:

Sometimes I feel like
I live in Grand Central Station.
Tonight I’m not takin’ no calls,
‘Cause I’ll be dancin’.

‘Cause I’ll be dancin’
‘Cause I’ll be dancin’
Tonight I’m not takin’ no calls, ’cause I’ll be dancin’!

Stop callin’, stop callin’,
I don’t wanna think anymore!
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.
Stop callin’, stop callin’,
I don’t wanna talk anymore!
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.

Stop callin’, stop callin’,
