This week I’ve got new laptop. I was so excited so I wanted to start working with it as soon as possible. Didn’t want to waste my work, nor sleep hours. And... in 36 minutes I managed to setup all needed environment for my work. Including nginx, php-fpm, mysql, rabbitmq, java-jdk and my beloved iterm2 and sublime text with all my settings.

First step - Kodi (ex. XBMC) on Android TV, media source - folder shared over HTTP.

// No idea why, but it must be that way.

I found a little issue with email delivery using SMTP within long-lasting jobs. The problem - SMTP connection is created for first email delivery, and kept open only for certain time. When the job tries to send another email after some time - it fails. Solution - reconnect to smtp server before sending email.

Not sure yet how efficient it is, but it works now.

Here is my trick:

<?php

class .... {

   public function __construct(Swift_Mailer $mailer)    {        $this->mailer = $mailer;    }

   public function deliver(Swift_Message $message)    {        // get configured mailer transport        $transport = $this->mailer->getTransport();        // connect to smtp server        $transport->start();        // send message        $result = $this->mailer->send($message);        // close connection        $transport->stop();

       return $result;    }

That feeling, when there is A LOT OF CODE, and only 1/3 of it is necessary for a fully working functionallity.

It’s a reminder for myself. Somehow from time to time I mix those and the result - lots of crap pushed to repository.

Don’t be like me, always remember the difference.

How to fill a bug?

- Take a screenshot - Print it - Mark the problems with a pencil - Scan it - Create PDF - Send it by email
