Are you converted?

Last time I had a "no, god exists, he creates all the shit you see!!ONE!" person around, I pointed out that grass grows and shit, and science kinda explains shit like that ... so, bless, he asked me to prove science by making grass grow on my carpet ( we were in the front room ) "before my very eyes" ... told him that if he was happy to wait a while I could throw down some seed and water it .... might take a week or two ... "aha!!ONE! SEE!!ELEVEN!, SCIENCE CAN'T DO THAT" ... so i, quietly, told him I'd be a fucking convert if he could make god do it

I'd be happy just to get to one

yabba_hh: I think, I type, I read what I type, I think "fuck, what was I thinking when I typed that?!"
tuxnus: that's two more thoughts than I give you credit for

Yer one in a million then

yabba_hh: hell, I was thinking of making the installer check for register globals, add slashes, !suphp, 0777 permissions and any other crap I could think off, and refuse to run if it found them
tuxnus: lol
tuxnus: sounds like a very security-centric way of running summat
tuxnus: This is why the terrorists have "won"
tuxnus: When everyone has to jump through hoops, because of the fear ... then they've "won"
yabba_hh: yeah @ terrorists
yabba_hh: they already win with air travel
yabba_hh: and the web was the easiest target
yabba_hh: was/is
tuxnus: it's a joke how much the world has spent (time & $$) on airline "security"
tuxnus: good thing I don't fly much anymore
yabba_hh: it's a joke that I can't take a bottle of water and some sandwiches on the flight because I *might just* be that 1 in a million ( ++ ? ) that wants to kill themselves rather than have 2 weeks on holiday
tuxnus: big trend here is that the airlines stopped serving in-flight meals.
yabba_hh: they charge to much for them here to consider giving up the revenue stream

For those uninitiated to the vernacular of online chatting, "hb" is the same as saying "hurry back" -or- ("happy birthday", "hilarious boobs" or "humping bunnies" ... depending on the context).

I write this because the early morning cleaning crew has had way too much time on their hands lately and they require some direction from the 'executive branch', which (as per usual) is out to lunch, on holiday or 3 sheets past the yardarm - one of the three. The crew has been idle, mostly because there hasn't been much of a mess to clean up (aforementioned executive holidays)

I've interceded into this blog space partly b/c I was asked to (and never fail in my duties - just ask my wife )

Lest you think the world has stopped spinning on its axis - which is partly true and one of my many theories on "what's really causing global warming" - there have been strides made on several fronts (just need to figure out which ones).

But I digress (and often ... in bracketed or parenthetical ways) and now to the point of the post! (POTP)

...

Fuck.

Where was I?

(Thank god the boss is away, eh?)

Or stepping forwards?

I *think* I've come to the conclusion that InnerVisions && WafflesOn won't be moving beyond the 2.x.x series of b2evolution. There's way to much shit in the 3.x+ series that I *really* don't want. With this in mind I'm going to start shutting down my code blog, all comments will be locked and any questions will be redirected to the evo forums. Eventually I'll archive it off to a "static" site ... not that hard really, it lives on it's own domain.

I'll continue to be active in the forums and will, obviously, support all our current plugins for every version they've been released for, and I'll (probably) bring them all up to the 3.x.eventually_stable series, if there's enough demand. Eventually I'll move them all into svn so other people are free to take them over.

What about BOPIT?

BOPIT has already been moved to it's own sub domain, running it's own files/database, and other people have admin/ftp access, so I'm pretty sure it's going to continue ... I'll make sure it does huh? ... with a tad of luck it'll eventually be replaced by core functionality ... until then I'll keep it alive and kicking

The future?

For now it'll be based on 2.x.x, and I'll hack the core files to suit my/our clients needs. After that? I'm really not sure, and that's not a teaser

Was it fun?

Yes. b2evo taught me many things, not least of which was php && mysql For that alone I'm forever indebted
