There have been plenty of times that Ive needed to reuse the values of my enums as an array. A good example of this would be an enumeration of US states. There are many ways of doing this, however I find that writing an enumeration of static constants gives me the most flexibility and accuracy in my code.

Heres a quick and easy way to separate font styles from component styles which will allow ux teams to skin fonts independent of the development team or even independent of the encapsulating component itself. This all came up from a project im involved with right now requires a high regard to pixel perfect design, which meant a lot of back and forth between the ux team. Font rendering was clearly something that needed some direct tweaking from the ux guys. while I do think i have a pretty good eye for design, they are ultimately the ones who will sign off of subpixel font grid type fitting and so on. So now my goal was to separate as much of the text formatting from the components and hopefully normalize it as best as possible as well.

The short of of the long is this, I switched my server last week to dreamhost after hearing so many good things about their services. I have a few colleagues who are on their systems who raved about them, and well, i was drawn into it. So… made my payment, switched my dns, let it all propagate through, woke up next morning to find out that dreamhosts main file server has been down for over 1 week and because of this my website, email, and ftp were now all down too.
