Updated my Projects!

Lazy funny pictureAs a Christmas Holiday present to those of you that are using my CodeIgniter tools, CI-UserTracking and GeSHi for CI, I did something very philanthropic: I updated them and tested them on the latest version of CodeIgniter.

Oh, and I also fixed the links…

..and I put them in their very own Google Code pages, so you can peruse the source code, download from Google servers, and leave comments and tickets for yours truly.

AND.. as your Hanukkah/New Years/Participation gift, I also have added a brand new CodeIgniter project that I’m working on called CI Headstart with all kinds of helpers, libraries, and other goodies to help speed up development even more.  Roll on over to the Code page to check it all out.

Now that Christmas break is upon us, and I since I work for a University that gives employees like a bazillion days off each December, I hope to clean these up even more and provide some quality documentation.

Happy Holidays from me to you,

Biting the Distributed Development Bullet

Will Code for FoodLike most development n00bs, after I started using version control, I never looked back.  And neither should you.

It required me to change the whole way that my office operated, though.  See, the way that we were doing things before seemed so simple; we just edited files and shouted at each other if we collided in our editing.  As it turns out, this was a bad thing, and there have been better alternatives around way longer than I’ve even been in this business.

But like most crotchety, over-egotistical developer-types it took a while for me to come around.  Here’s a brief history of my flirtations and eventual commitment to version control.

Fixed GeSHI for CodeIgniter Link

funny-car-repairs-engineThanks all who notified me that the GesHi for CodeIgniter download link was serving up a big, ugly 404 page.  I plan on releasing a new version soon, but in the meantime, I’ve fixed the link.

Any questions, comments, or suggestions are always welcome.  Also, if anybody has tried this plugin on CI 1.7.2, let me know how it works.
