CMS Commercial Intention

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Today I was playing around with the Online Commercial Intention tool on Microsoft’s adCenter Labs. Just for fun I typed in a couple PHP content management systems I’ve used to see how they rank and came across some interesting results. If you haven’t used the OCI tool before, it gives you a ranking [...]

PHP Frameworks are Governments

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

I was e-mailing a friend the other day talking about PHP frameworks. He’s been writing one for himself and I’ve written many many frameworks and CMSs through the years. I’ve also looked at a lot of existing frameworks out there like Zend, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Solar, Symfony and I’ve come to a conclusion. [...]

Pictures from California

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

So I promised folks pictures a while ago and hadn’t gotten around to it. Mostly because I was waiting until I got everything put away and cleaned up. But you know me, I tend to procrastinate. So I figured if I waited until I got things put away the pictures would never [...]

New Years Resolutions

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

I’m not really one who does the yearly resolutions and this year is no different.
Lately I’ve been in the midst of a lot of self reflection. I guess moving across the country and starting a new life does that to a guy. So I don’t really think of the following “resolutions” as anything [...]

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

So I’ve been a resident of California for just over three weeks now and things are going well. I have most of my IKEA furniture assembled and most of my boxes unpacked. I’ve been kind of lazy with things lately but that’s OK.
PBwiki is really great. Everyone I work with [...]
