New Development(s)
Well, I’ve just finished building my first site with CodeIgniter, and I have to say it was an absolute blast. The framework is wonderfull. Using it, I was able to completely redesign Inglenook Realty in about 3 weeks with leaner, more sensible code than I had implemented previously. Granted, there is about twice as much code now as there was previously, but everything works perfectly now - and I won’t need to scrap the whole thing again if the owners want more revisions down the road. Thank you CI!
Merry Christmas!
Christmas was an absolute blast, as it is every year.

It’s been a long time since I have had the motivation to post here. It’s funny how things like jobs can ruin the otherwise productive streak of a blog started two years ago during unemployment, but such is life.
AIM Web Presence API
So I’ve been dabbling with AIM’s Web Presence API — which basically allows developers to get info on a particular AIM user.

Ogle that <BODY>…

Code Folding in Vim
So I learned yet another awesome feature in vim today - code folding.
Calling Dell Support
Earlier today, I noticed the A/C adapter for my laptop seemed to be broken. It took a few minutes to realize that there was a kink in the wiring under the shielding. If I moved that around just a bit, it would work properly. “That sucks,” I thought. “At least I have the warranty and it should be a quick phone call to get a new one out.” Wrong.
tar over ssh
I figured out this easy way to make a backup over ssh.
