As I mentioned in my previous posts, I took the jump and moved over to GitHub. I moved over to a public repository system to make it easier on me pushing my code changes to the public (the current download system on my site isn't too intuitive). So over the past few weeks I have been slowly adding all my scripts to GitHub and pushing the code. Additionally, I have been uploading the old zipped versions of the scripts, which can be found on the respective repo's downloads page. Continue reading...

Well Christmas is right around the corner, and I would like to wish all of my readers and visitors a happy holiday! I hope you all enjoy the holidays with your friends and loved ones and get the most out of this break that you can.

Furthermore, I haven't worked in CakePHP for months, seeing as how I have no new projects or features to add to my existing ones. Continue reading...

So if you recently logged into your Facebook, you would notice the new Facebook Usernames. These usernames work like any site, where you get to pick your unique url, I'm surprised it hasn't been implemented sooner! But the sad sad sad thing is, is the comments posted by the Facebook users. I have never seen such a cesspool of moronic and illiterate users in my life, no wonder all web developers "dumb down the UI". Currently the blog has 60,000+ comments and 45,000+ likes, but what I to talk about is all the complaints the users are supplying. Lets just list out a few right now. Continue reading...
