Year 2007, I did nothing - as in zero, no phone call, no visit, nothing… Pretty shitty to be honest. This year I wanted to something really nice/memorable.

I’ve been working off and on with this CMS project. I’ve now gotten it to a stage where it actually does something.
It creates sites :)
To mark this milestone, I’ve put the site back up at magnitudecms.com and I’ve also moved the git repo into its own account on GitHub.
MagnitudeCMS is my answer to my need of a simple tool to assemble lots of websites with out having to think about all the infrastructre parts. With Joomla to create a new site I’d have to create a directory, configure webserver, setup mysql users/databases.
Now with MagnitudeCMS all I do is configure the DNS records to point at the IP of the server running the app. Type the address in the browser and presto website ready to be themed and content added.
Having used DataMapper for a while now on this project, I’m starting to see the complexity I’ve created. By using MySQL for storing the data required in a relational format, it is taking too long to update the data (the admin back end hasn’t been completed yet).

I just spent two hours stuffing around because dm-validations said my BigDecimal wasn’t valid due to it not being a number. Continue reading ‘DataMapper and BigDecimal - validation’
$22 dollars for a tiny screen…. Granted it is a digital theatre, but that is not enough to charge me more. Digital theatres are the next step and is just part of the evolution that is cinema technology, it’s not special…. Also when I see IMAX I expect a massive screen. Hoyts EQ at Moore Park has converted cinema 2 into the “IMAX” theatre and it is a small screen compared to the GMAX screens at Parramatter Greater Union. Hoyts IMAX is a sham and I won’t be going back.
At least if the mob in Brisbane at Southbank team up with IMAX they’ll have a huge screen that was an actual IMAX theatre :)
From what I have read though briefly apparently the IMAX digital theater can’t do sceens bigger then 22m….
Be forewarned Hoyts IMAX = tiny screens….
