Here Comes Another Bubble

Just in case you haven’t seen it already…

Wikipedia Going CC

Wikipedia will be transitioning over to a Creative Commons compatible license. While this is good news, I still really don’t get why the hell they even use a license… they don’t even do anything if someone uses their content and publishes it in a book. Just public domain it and be done with it.

CMS Screenshot

I’ll admit - I’ve been lazy and haven’t been focusing on either this blog or my CMS as much as I should. I’ve cleaned up my office - and things will be changing soon. It’s amazing how much of a boost a simple cleaning can give you. Oh well, here’s the screenshot (click for big image):

This CMS has a few great features - it’s very modular, easy to program for, secure, fairly fast (and can be faster with optimizations which will come later), will eventually have built in caching and MySQL management. It also uses a beta version of the new PHP Framework which has nice string verification functions for things like alphanumeric strings, e-mail addresses, etc.

Don’t expect to see it anytime soon though - it’ll be a good month or two before it is even close to being released (and I will probably switch Nusuni Dot Com over to it after I get the blog and spam management modules finished, before it is released).

Please subscribe, or else I will cry. Do you really want to make a programmer cry?
