codeigniter

Reinventing the wheel

This code was developed due to specific constraints I wanted in a template engine, and the desire to use it in projects that unfortunately still require PHP4. It is currently pre-release code, but should work in PHP4.2 and up.

The first specification of the project was to ensure valid XHTML. I haven't yet set a DTD (for those who need full on validation), but the templates should be editable in WYSIWYG editors such as Dreamweaver without causing issues.

I am lazy (loading)

I ran into a few snags while playing around with codeigniter. The first was the realization that it was actually a subset of the work that was originally pmachine.

Now perhaps I'm being slightly unfair, since I didn't have a lot of hands on experience back in the day, but from my role as a sys admin for a web hosting company, pmachine was the early candidate for "ugh, yet another security hole", and whenever I hear that word I cringe at the awful memories.

Help I'm stuck in my garage

I finally contacted the building owners, asking them to fix the garage door, and to be honest, I'm a bit sad about that.

It was a bit of a game, seeing if I could locate the one sweet spot with my car's tires which seemed to be all that was left of the sensor. I think I spent 5 minutes one day last week trying to get out of the garage.

Oh well, all good things must come to an end.
