Zend framework Quickstart and SQLite
I was building the Zend Framework quick start tutorial example but I kept getting the following error:
Message: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 14 unable to open database file
This was despite the fact that I had correct privileges on the database file.
However it turns out you seem to need write and execute privileges for Apache on the directory that contains your sqlite database (not just the database file itself).
I added them to the containing directory and everything seems to work now. 🙂

Is there a pilot on board?
In movies like Airplane! the pilots have all been incapacitated and a desperate call goes around “is there a pilot on board?” To which some brave soul then stands up and says something like, “Yes I can fly the plane”.
What’s weird though is that something a little like this actually happened recently.
An Air Canada Boeing 767 (C-FMXC) on a flight between Toronto and London was midway across the Atlantic when the First Officer showed signs of being confused and unwell. The captain decided the first officer should be relieved of duty and he was removed from the flight deck.
At this point the passenger lists were inspected to see if there were any airline pilots on board, unfortunately there were not, however one of the flight attendants held a commercial pilots license and she was asked to assist the captain. (There is suggestion on one forum that this flight attendant was either former or reserve Canadian Airforce)
The aircraft diverted to Shannon airport in Ireland where it landed safely. The captain later commented that the Flight attendant sitting in the second seat was “not out of place”.
The ill first officer was taken to a nearby hospital in Ireland and later flown back to Canada.
So that is an outline, but it raises so many interesting questions, many of which I may never know the answers too. The most important one of course being, how many cabin crew have piloting qualifications?
The accident report (by the Irish AAIB) is suitably detailed but, quite correctly, doesn’t include enough information to identify the people involved, so I may never know the complete story. Hopefully someone will make a documentary out of it. (But changing the names perhaps to keep the privacy of the ill pilot)

SQLEditor updates
I’ve just released a new version of SQLEditor yesterday, mainly as a bug fix release, but it’s definitely recommended to upgrade.
The new beta is 1.4.3b1 which was released 14th November. It fixes a number of bugs, including MySQL comments and some odd bugs relating to selecting tables using the drag selection method.
Download 1.4.3b1 (3.6MB DMG)
The current stable version is 1.4.2 which came out at the end of October. It fixed several significant bugs that people reported and made a few minor improvements.

Django Support
Several people have now asked for this, so it’s being really seriously looked at.
Plus I’m hopeful that it will be able to support the somewhat different but quite similar Google app engine model class format too
Having been working on this for the last few days, I can say that the Django plugin is moving towards a working state, the development version is now somewhat able to create and export a suitable python file.
Although this mustn’t be taken to mean that it’s near to release, because there are still several major things that are needed before it will be complete.
I think there will probably be two releases, the first will be export only, then a later release will add the import features.
And it should be a free upgrade for SQLEditor 🙂

Loyalty Cards
I was looking at my wallet and I realized that I have a whole collection of loyalty cards.
Am I really loyal to all of them? I don’t think I can be, since some of them are for direct competitors.
