About This Blog

I'm Arthur Wiebe, a Bible believing born again believe it or not saved by the blood kind of young man who has a desire to live his life in integrity not slacking in what it important but what is not. Seeking the glory which is to come instead of the destruction which has already come.

Need you know much else? Well I like to work as well--especially working towards making technology work better for all of us.

31 December 2004 - 0:00ACal 3.0 — A turn-around

The direction of ACal 3.0 has completely turned around. Instead of being based on MachCMS I have started it from scratch for one simple reason. Simplicity.

The MachCMS code is complicated. Although it is stable and writing a module is easy.

MachCMS also does not currently have a database abstraction layer. It only support SQLite and PHP 5.

With ACal 3.0 it will initially support SQLite and MySQL by using a database layer. This just means I need to learn MySQL quick :)

I am going to use object oriented programming a lot more now to make things better organized code wise. I want to write the code in a manner that will be easy to maintain, a learn how to write a good db layer at the same time.

Another idea just popped in. What about allowing plug-ins in the calendar? Maybe later.
