A Little Catching up to Do

July 13th, 2009 by ScottK | No Comments | Filed in For Fun, My Life, PHPDbMigrate

So it’s been a couple of months since I posted last. I’ve really been heads down on coding at both work and home. Things are starting to lighten up in both areas and I’m ready to start a new project, PHPDbMigrate.

At work I’ve been setting up a lot of sites using CodeIgniter. It’s not a bad framework and since I’ve been away from PHP for a while it’s nice to be coding in PHP again. Not much really exciting going on at work, just setting up websites and modifications to existing code.

At home though is entirely different. For thre months now I’ve been developing Value Target. Launched it June 7. It’s definately a labor of love and still have lot’s to do on it. It’s a rails app and I’ve really fallen in love with the framework. So much so that I am going to port PyMigrate to PHP.

PHPDbMigrate is the name of the port. Yes there are “some” attempts out there to create an ActiveMigration library. I find that they are limited to MySql, not complete, or do not run code blocks. Since I’ve already accomplished that in Python, it’ll be easy for me to port to PHP. Although I won’t have the luxury of db connector library like I did with SQLAlchemy in Python.

I’ve set up the Google code project and will announce all my updates to the repository.

After I finally release a stable version of PHPDbMigrate my plan is to create a CodeIgniter library so I can develop sites even faster. So thanks for checking in and stay tunes.

I’m Going Naked, April 9th. How About You?

April 3rd, 2008 by ScottK | 3 Comments | Filed in For Fun

That’s right it’s all set, on April 9 I’m stripping and letting you see what’s really underneath. Why am I doing this? To help promote web standards. You know I love JavaScript, and browsers and developers just willy nilly run it into the ground. The same can be said about CSS support.

To help promote web standards I am going to strip, and subsequently post pictures for posterities sake. Will you join me on this endeavor? If so exactly at Midnight your time strip down and go the whole day!

If you are going Naked as well make sure to leave a comment so all readers can also see your nakedness. If your a little shy about leaving a comment, certainly you can send me pictures and I will gladly post, with your permission and information removed, to help the cause. I promise to give a throughout review of the winner of the most naked nakedness,so make sure I have your website!

Argus Lite!

October 11th, 2007 by ScottK | No Comments | Filed in For Fun

As a code ninja here at PayPerPost things are really busy at the moment until we actually release Argus live to the public. Even as busy as we are we ninja’s need to add humor to our lives. We do that in at least two ways. Part of our ninja skill set means we need to be able to find funny pictures in seconds and our video finding skills aren’t so bad either.

So I figured that I would share with you all the videos that we find (and can post here). Enjoy!

Today’s video is a parody on those so called energy drinks.
