PHP Woes (or, Programming Progress)
I’ve been spending some late nights fixing up a site I wrote over a year ago. When I was building the site I knew a lot less about building professional quality sites, especially sites that will need to be maintained and extended over time. As a result, I wrote some less then top notch code. Not terrible at all, still good, but I made a couple of mistakes that I wouldn’t make now. ...

Not trying to be outdone by the costumed banana dash through the hallways of Zion-Benton Township High School last year, about 23 students of the class of 2009 got suspended for a senior prank Monday morning.
They stuck more than 1,000 forks into the ground near the front entrance of the school along with a banner that read, “Stick a fork in it. We’re done. Seniors ‘09.”

Re: Four Cops Dead In Oakland →
Law enforcement sources said that four officers are dead, along with a suspect after a traffic stop led to a massive manhunt in the streets of East Oakland.
It all began with the the fatal shooting of two officers during a traffic stop near 73rd and Hillside Streets, around 1 p.m. Saturday. The gunman fled and police closed off the surrounding streets to traffic while dozens of...

CommandIgniter 0.1
Last night I was working on a fairly complex CodeIgniter project and was tired of writing Controller methods for testing. It made me miss Rail’s nice command line tool for interacting with their methods.
CommandIgniter is my first draft of something building towards that. Its nowhere near as complex or as feature-ful as Rail’s tool, most notably in that its not interactive, but...
Crazy StimulusWatch Emails, pt 2
Another gem, this time equating the site to holocaust denial at the end of the second to last paragraph.
Greetings,
Your inclusion of the “…O’Reilly radar” piece on Feb. 13, ‘09 on your web site seems like nothing more than a part of the radical right wing goal to discredit our presidents efforts to recover from the calamity of 12 years ( 12 years that include...

Crazy StimulusWatch Emails, pt 1
The crazy emails continue to keep pouring in to stimuluswatch.org, and they seem to be getting crazier and angrier. At a couple of folks encouraging, I’m going to start posting the craziest. Enjoy.

More to come!
