I’ve been doing some freelance work lately and find myself constantly rebuilding my initial framework based on the site/application I’m building. I’ve explored some “out of the box” solutions for php frameworks and some are pretty good, but offer either to much or to little of what I need.

With this last project I’ve done wrapping up, I’ve decided to start my own php framework. I’m not building it for distribution, but I wanted to make it as easy to use as possible. Over the next few weeks I’ll post some updates, I’ve added the “VM Framework” page to the navigation, but until I have a base of sorts it will remain blank.

I’d like to have a few of you test run it when it’s complete, I always enjoy some outside perspective on the code I write.

For those of you who have known me for a while, know that I have had nothing but issues with this poorly put together institution.  Over the years a few of you have tried to convince me to move away from the evil empire that is BofA.  I think Simprini even tried to convince me to use his remote “I need to go to Boulder city to get money” bank at one time, as he made some off comment about how the people there are friendly and kind and know him.

Well, today I did it.  After a long battle of why they won’t cash my payroll check because it’s written from another banking institution I stood in the lobby and told them fuckers to get wrecked as I closed my accounts and moved to Wachovia.  Reminded me of when I purchased the STI and I had to stand in the lobby of the dealership explaining to everyone in the showroom why not to purchase a car there until I got what I wanted.

I like this band,.. they have some of the best vocals I’ve heard in a while. It is one of the few that you can listen to the CD or them live and you get the exact same song. This track is pretty mainstream, and I’m sure over the next few months I’ll end up posting more from them, as most of the CD is really good. Enjoy.

This is so true it’s not even funny, a co-worker sent it to me today. So of course it’s hanging at my desk. I think three best panels on this are the documentation, customer billed and how the business consultant described it. As a programmer, I think we got thrown under the bus on our panel, but eh… whatever.
