Planet Source Code Entries

datalogik — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:51:49 +0000

I am in the process of migrating all of my old (and I mean old) Planet Source Code PHP entries over to this website. In the coming months, I would like to update them and/or re-create them if possible. For example, phpCryptIt was a great game that has since been lost to the world. I still remember the general idea but the entire source code is gone.

MySiteStatus.net Launch

I’ve officially launched my next project, MySiteStatus.net. This website is a site and server monitoring service which will allow you to be alerted when your server goes down and report on how well your server is staying up. We keep track of all outages that your server encounters so you can troubleshoot issues more efficiently.

Check it out here.

Yii Framework

Approximately a month ago I began experimenting with a new PHP framework to help ease my website development woes. I tested many different types of frameworks (CodeIgniter, CakePHP, and Zend) which did not work out well until I came across Yii Framework.

I had already been somewhat familiar with the MVC (Model View Controller) idea and Yii just gave it more credence among the industry. The ease in which you can build web applications is amazing, with nearly a click of a mouse and one command you could have your website structure setup. Elaborating on this if your website has a database back-end, you can use the built in model creation system (Gii) to build your application model around your database model.

All in all, this is by far the best PHP framework that I have come across for many reasons. I am currently working on a few different projects that incorporate Yii as the back-end.

Slight Downtime

Sorry for the downtime on datalogik.org. It seems our DNS was temporarily messed up. This should be fixed now.

RIP Slicehost

So after hearing about RackSpace more or less killing off Slicehost, I have decided to migrate to a new server. You may see some websites go down temporarily while I make this transition but they should be back up soon.

New CMS Live

After much testing and coding, I’ve released the new CMS to Chess-Puzzles.net site. This will allow us to add additional functionality much easier than before and require less coding on my side. We also have a new “Forums” section where users can post. Check it out!

New Chess-Puzzles.net CMS

datalogik — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 22:53:32 +0000

I have started work on a new content system for Chess-Puzzles.net website that should hopefully allow me to easily expand the site out into different areas and give users a more robust website. I have no time frame on when this will be completed but a good majority of the work has already been finished. Check back in the next month or two and see how the progress is going.

Downtime

datalogik — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 14:37:27 +0000

Starting at around 10pm on 10/29, the server became unresponsive and I was finally able to bring it to a usable state again just now. So during that time frame, the website was down obviously. I apologize for the problems but if there are any questions please contact me.

New Code Page

datalogik — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 18:08:47 +0000

I’ve added a new “Code” page to the site. I will be posting there from time to time with useful scripts and code that I have written. Currently, there is a MySQL database class with a very brief example on how to use it.

Click here to check it out.
