If you use CLinkColumn to render links in any column then you loose an ability to sort entire CGridView by that link-containing column.
To work-around this problem render link in your cells using your own function and do not use CLinkColumn.
I really like some simple extensions and changes to command line in Linux. An ability to enable command auto-complete, commands history navigation and changing prompts look in particular.
However, not every console is suited with these changes, so I wrote this simple article to keep all my how-tos around Linux command line in one place.

Connection to LDAP in PHP isn’t that easy task by itself. Things get even more complicated, if you’re working in XAMPP environment under Windows. It hope this article will help you in getting un-stuck, if you’re stuck on the similar things, as I did.
Notice: solution provided in this article may not work for you! It worked on my office computer and failed completely on my home computer, though both are quite similar (same version of Windows and XAMPP etc.).
Since, we’re talking about very stupid system (Windows) and about even more stupid situation (claiming, that file is not found, though it exists in folder listed in PATH variable), I have no bloody idea, why it doesn’t work (or why it does work on certain computers) and how to solve this problem.

I found two quite interesting examples at Stack Overflow about two-way encrytion / hashing in PHP. While two-way encryption is never as secure as one-way version (some claim, that two-way encryption methods are not secure at all), it is still a good alternative to not using encryption at all. For certain simple tasks, you may find it quite useful.
I have received a PM message at Yii forum asking about possibility of transferring (via HTTP upload) files with non-English characters in filename. In this particular example, a Greek and Chinese (and English), but with option to support all the languages, that exists.
Conclusion: No f*ing way! But, if you wish to read something more about this, follow with this article.

Here comes comparison in version control systems and project management tools. I’m going to compare cloud-hosted BitBucket with self-hosted Redmine. As some of you may already expect, the result can be only one.
For me, personally, BitBucket is an absolute, undoubted winner in this field.

Just wanted to keep for personal reasons my best scores achieved in my beloved Android game — Puzzle Forge by Tuesday Quest.
The game is so fabulous that it took me one and a half year of playing and caused me loosing a lot of dollars. Fortunately, this went (in most part) for supporting developers of this great game.
And, yes… I also found a nasty bug! :>
