Have been doing a lil bit of php work. Haven’t done much web work in a long time. Not sure why. Probably hasn’t been of interest to me for various reasons.

Anyway I’ve always wanted my own cms system. I attempted creating one originally for a site similar to this, but it proved too difficult and due to frustration I gave up.

I searched around high and low for something half decent which did what I wanted but nothing at the time really was that good. Since then there are some really good open source systems Mambo being a good one.

Whilst working on the cms I did learn quite a bit about keeping files in order. Something which any half decent web person can do but with a cms you need to have just a little bit of extra care.

Recently had a bit of web work thrown my way which required the user to easily update there site. I’ve managed to recycle my old cms files and have made good gains by hacking various scripts from the web and with the help of my php/mysql book

Not sure what it is with me but I have to be in the mood for doing what I’m doing otherwise there is no point.

Especially with the weather being good one can be out chasing women, rather than sat at a comp worrying about why mysql doesn’t want to play ball. Ya know its a huge dilemma ; )
