i worked for sometime using codeigniter. this mvc framework is lightweight, simple and intuitive.

actually i compared every php framework for my new job. and codeigniter is the best solution. it supports native session, mvc, active record, enough security features.. just good..

at first, i planed to make my own framework, that may be faster than any other framework.. but it was very painful experience to start from nothing.. now i have a good frameworks to reference, i may try again someday ;-) 

netvibes starts a new service(today, maybe), ginger. that’s just what i want for so long time.. you can publicitice your own contents in a very simple way.. this service changes project management drastically. i sure..

you may need to do some activation process.. it may not support like a friend only share feature.. if it supports that, it will be the perfect solution for business. but that’s enough now..

i was searching for some offline editors which can save data to online. only one candidate is zoho writer(do you know any other?) zoho uses google gears offline library. it doesn’t detect the browser’s state. so you have to change the state manually. and if you fail to change(i.e. you chage the state to online when disconnected), the browser goes blank. no menu for just synchronizing data that’s just what i want. UI is very clumsy, no way to hide buttons i may never use. I don’t want to see those unpleasant white borders.

but anyway it’s cool! i decide to move from google docs. now i can write some articles anywhere any time.

though i don’t like safari, it’s a great news.  most people think good browser is only in pc. but the pmp, cell phone or many consumer electronics will get their own browser someday, and the total count of browser will be more than pc. so this is a good decision, desktop browser’s market is already taken by ms ie. and because it’s a game of monopoly, the share will not be changed so drastically. but embedded browser market is different. you can’t choose or complain or uninstall, in most case. now the time is coming soon, everybody have to learn ie is not the default browser for internet.

news 2.0 is a korean style digg-like service. it wasn’t so famous when i registered first. few articles were uploaded, once in a week or so. recently it gains some reputations and 5 or 10 articles per day are uploaded now. i admit web2.0 is good, becacue it’s more interactive and fun. but news 2.0 is not the case. it doesn’t filter the contents and almost half of contents are filled with gabages now. i don’t want to know who’s boob is most great.. so  i unsubscribed news 2.0 feed today.

the world goes more complicated way, and all new technologies are easily abused. and that’s the main obstacle of new-commers. if you can’t fight, you can’t take part in.

or just records for not to forget.

1. i change to use h2 as an embedded db rather than derby.. h2 is implemented more clear way(i think this is because of its predecessor, hsqldb) and supported in appfuse. it works fine for me with no error. so goodbye derby for a while~

2. sometimes you may get some mysterious compile errors when using ide. mvn updates libraries automatically but not ide’s setting at  the same time. you have to update your ide setting by manually. like this mvn idea:idea

3. i think intellij idea is better than eclipse. especially annotation support.

4. i extend default user class, org.appfuse.model.User somewhat awkard way.. i made another User Class and set its table name as app_user. it seems that works right. but i can’t be sure about all operations..

and more..

it’s a very useful article for managing to-do list. actually if you know what to do, it’s not so difficult to do it. but if you forget, you can’t get what you want forever. i think you may need this article just like me

i noticed today that new flash player 9 for linux was launched one month ago.. (it’s because i’m a mac user now)

now we can use full-featured flash in most of computer  environment. that means you can get full secure flash-based ajax operation.

and i noticed also that there is a fantastic 3d desktop environment for linux.

so cool, more than vista or osx..

now we don’t need to adhere to one monopole os or browser..
so many people tried and the world became more democratic and liberal.
it’s a trend, we can experience more pleasant and universal pc life, thanx for all developers!

you may know how inconvenience to turn on windows for just using some apps specified in windows, if you’re not windows user. NateOn, the most overwhelming messenger in korea was one of them. just chat somebody who use nateon only, i have to  turn on my parallel and check parallel windows all the time.. but now the time has gone, JaTeOn, a java alternative is released, and you can chat from every environment. though it lacks of many functionalities, now i can turn down my parallel and except only testing IE6 and IE7.
