Developer gone wild

I've been a professional developer since 1996. I recently switched from Micro$oft based solutions to PHP because of the orientation of the .NET world toward compiled programs vs. scripted web applications.

Drop a comment here if you enjoyed the article, it's the first litte piece of assistance I've given on the project, and I feel good about it.

As for the strange ICQ formatting error I mentioned in my last entry, I know where it is and what's causing it, b…

One of the first thing I noticed about Bitweaver when I found it on opensourcecms was that it integrated with phpBB. It was one of the reasons I chose it for the environment on my new production site. (Still under construction, so address will be given later.)

So after a bit of mucking with web hosts to find the one best suited to run Bitweaver, I upladed everything and got it all running famously at 1&1.com. so far, so good, until I noticed something in the foru…
