Well, I have the commenting and feedback systems up, now using an anti-spam API, named Akismet, most famously used as a plugin for Wordpress. Hopefully this can stem the tide of cheap penis pill comments that love my site for some strange reason.

I actually took a pre-existing Akismet PHP5 library and did some hacky retrofitting to it for use as a Code Igniter library. Once I was done tying the commenting and feedback system into it, I found someone had already actually made a Code Igniter library for it. Oh well.

Anyway, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the historical data for the time being. I kind of feel like making a clean break and start using this site as a means to try and learn new things. Guess I'll just have to wait and see what direction the winds of boredom take me.

I decided to learn one of the php web frameworks and thought, "what better way to learn this than to rebuild my site from scratch!"

Anyway, here I am and all. The old posts have been deactivated and commenting will be offline until I can get a handle on the spamming situation. I'm writing as I'm learning, so things should start to get exponentially faster as I get more under my belt with Code Igniter.

If I stay interested.
