A perfect analogy for this instance would be online casinos are to e-commerce, just like resorts in Las Vegas are to large city hotels. While this analogy sounds quite daring, this comparison is actually close if you factor things like the technology used, the set-up time, and the fluctuating costs to develop these games.
Yesterday I turned one of my websites open source. It has been some time since I created showthatyouhelp.com, using CodeIgniter to do the job. Now the entire code is in Github.
A couple of weeks ago I was looking for a backup solution for my MySQL databases. As I don’t want to spend money on this, I chose to backup using one of the cloud drives available around.

This is a quick post. I’m going to show the code necessary to build a file browser in PHP using CodeIgniter. It allows file browsing in the server and opening files without leaving your app. Text files are displayed directly while other files are send to download. Continue reading
I decided to continue with the series about CodeIgniter, but now I’ll be writing about more specific topics. In this part, I’ll explain how to use the form_validation library to validate form and ensure the correct data reach the database. Even though it’s an specific topic, I’m going to continue using the same application from previous posts.
If you’re into sustainability, ecology and green topics, maybe this is something you’ll be interested in. I just released a website called showthatyouhelp.com that is a online community for people worried about our planet’s future.
In this article I will explain some measures I took to protect my WordPress installation from attacks. More precisely, I will be talking about htaccess and what it can do for you. Besides that, I will also briefly explain some plugins. One of them is WP Super Cache, capable of optimizing your blog. If you use other methods, please comment.
Get Remote URL Info is a new WordPress Plugin that fetches information about a remote URL and adds it into your post.
We finally got to the end of the series Creating a CodeIgniter App. We will conclude our Simple Task Board app with the development of the tasks section. This includes the creation of tasks for each project, the exhibition of these tasks in the dashboard and, of course, the exhibition of these tasks in a agile like task board.
To accomplish out task we’ll create a table in the database, a controller (we’ll also update two other controllers), a model and a view (we’ll also update two other views, the menu and the Template library). In order to complete it, some CSS and JavaScript.
With this post we get to the penultimate part of this series about CodeIgniter. We will continue the development of Simple Task Board with the projects part, inserting and updating the project information. We will update the dashboard as well to show the projects.
