Fun with CodeIgniter 1.7.0

Jan 14

I’ve been working with CodeIgniter 1.7.0 and PHP a lot more lately in my “off-hours” and I’m really enjoying it. I find I enjoy programming with PHP much better than I do with VB .NET. Despite the fact that I like some aspects of VB.NET I still have more control with PHP and CodeIgniter. Even though I hate PHP’s syntax for object oriented programming. (That is a rant for another day.)

Major bonus points go to CodeIgniter because it is Open Source. I had a problem with a feature and some lacking documentation, so I dissected it and gained a vast understanding for it in a matter of minutes. Access to the source of an application / module / program is essential to extending it, and in my case, working with it is easier with a heightened understanding.

So I think I’m going to try to work more with CodeIgniter in the future. I might start writing some Tutorials on it in the future.

I almost forgot! I haven’t posted since December of last year. I hope this one will be full of exciting experiences and opportunities, just like the year past.

Windows 7 Beta 1

Jan 13

I just downloaded the new Windows 7 community beta release from Microsoft. I have burned the ISOs, but I’m too darned busy to go ahead and try it out.  I will certainly post my own personal review as soon as I get a chance to play around with the new interface.

As a person who has not yet used Vista on a day-to-day basis, I think I may be in for a big surprise. At any rate, we’ll see how it goes and I promise that the Interwebs will be the first to discover how I feel about it.

How to: Install Skype on Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit

Dec 15

This post is really just to provide another link to provide avenues to the forum post I made on Skype’s community forums. Click here for step by step instructions for installing Skype on Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit operating system. I’ve got it working… even with my web cam.  One resource that really helped was the following post over at the Ubuntu forums. How to get specific programs to run under Ubuntu 64-bit editions.
