So in addition to playing with a new CMS system for a new domain (instead of my usual habit of the last twelve years of 'rolling my own') I've also been looking at development IDEs.

So far I've installed eclipse and komodo edit to see what they each offer. In the past I haven't used an IDE, preferring instead to use a straight-forward text editor (UltraEdit having been my editor of choice for ever so many years!) for my html and php development, but with the increasing use of AJAX and other "Web 2.0" technologies it might just be the time to reconsider that approach.

Talking of the "Web 2.0" (which, imho, well deserves the scare quotes!) I'll be part of a panel discussing the subject later this week at the Dana Centre in London - part of the Science Museum - and given that much of that "2.0" is hype it will be interesting to discuss the issues with the other panellists!
