ContentPane in dojo not loading scripts? This is how you fix it.

I was planning on writing my first enquiry on how to do something in dojo, but just before I pressed the submit button, I thought I'd look into one more thing and as the saying goes - "it's always in the last place you look" (probably because you stop looking after you find whatever it is you're looking for).

So the problem I had was that I wanted to load a datagrid inside a contentPane in a pet project my newbie friends and I are using to sharpen our Zend Framework skillz.

I've been idle (and will continue to be for the rest of the year) so all my tickets are pretty much at a stand

Happy Holidays everyone -- Winding down to hiatus mode.

Well, as fast as my wheels were turning for the past few weeks, I've decided to slow down for the holiday season and spend some time with the family.

To me, there is nothing better than _quality_ time with family - big emphasis on "quality" because when I'm in work mode, I'm always half thinking about work even when I'm sitting on the couch watching TV.

For me, now is the time to not think about work and spend time with, and think about what I'm really working for. This is also a good time to reflect on my goals for next year.

On a final note for 2010, I'd like to wish you all a Merry

Analysis Paralysis: In a quest for perfection, I manage to achieve nothing

This was supposed to be a live coding note, but it just turned into something else. No ground breaking news, no new concept which will make you go "hmmm", just a guy kicking himself - you can safely ignore this frustrated post if you aren't in the mood to read about how much an idiot I think I am :P

It's been a mixture of Tunnel Vision, NIH Syndrom and Analysis paralysis that had me living in a haze of trying to implement DataMappers ala Zend Quickstart Guide on and off, for the past 4 weeks.

I even wrote the Unit Tests and everything for this project I've taken part in called
