Install CasperJS with PhantomJS on Cygwin
Stumbled across this much easier solution today for rigging up my favorite modern headless javascriptable browser tools on my favorite Windows-compatible shell. Should work in pretty much all versions of Windows/Cygwin/phantomjs/casperjs. Download phantomjs and casperjs and unzip them in c:\phantomjs…

Toggling light/dark Solarized color theme in Emacs 23

Sorting, deleting from a PropelObjectCollection
Propel 1.6 (and Propel 1.5 before it) is pretty sweet (thank you François!). I had some confusion with my model’s array of related objects though, thinking it was a regular PHP array. Actually it’s a Collection, specifically a PropelObjectCollection, which…
