Since starting with CodeIgniter, I had been looking for a way to put any websites I created in maintenance mode. I had considered a couple of options. The first being to replace main index.php file with another that contained the maintenance info.
Grafik Kaos is now on Twitter.... Yippeeee! Ermmm... now that I am signed up, what do I do? With everyone signing up to a Twitter account and documenting (or shall I say tweeting) everything that they basically do, I am left wondering if I should be doing the same.
The more I work with CodeIgniter, the more I am getting into it. I have actually started enjoying handcoding everything again instead of taking the usual point and click approach I have used with Dreamweaver for quite few years. There are a few things I missed not having though. I so totally loved the authentication system in ADDT. So much so that I am actually trying to write something similar for CodeIgniter.
Not too long ago, I started working with CodeIgniter, a framework created by the same people that brought us Expression Engine. Part of the reason as to chose this framework was due to the fact that it was lightweight and was built for performance. Something that I felt ADDT was lacking in sometimes.
Perhaps hate is too much of a strong word, but I don't always like when you are trying to write some code and you probably get stuck on a issue you are unable to resolve right there and then, and some smart ass on a forum just turns round and tells you: "Why are you re-inventing the wheel? Just use this or use that."
