OpenID for CodeIgniter made easy – All about it
Oct 21st
A few months back, I have been struggling to have openID authentication loaded to my application. It’s a hazard… the simple idea of having it integrated to my application and have users logged in using their existing facebook, google account is pretty fancy, but the code behind it is a mess, a complete tragedy. Luckily RPXNow stepped in and provided me a hand in authenticate people and handling the magic works. No one likes to reinvent the wheel after all, and this is a PRETTY HARD wheel to deal with…

Huddle Review
Oct 11th
Huddle is my choice for web collaboration system as well as Project Management software.
I was in search of a free, powerful, easy to use, social collaboration software. And Huddle is my final stop, for now.

Huddle separates itself from basecamphq by offering a free for all time plan. Of course basecamphq was once offering a free package, but not anymore. Huddle was designed with internet collaboration totally in mind. The project manager can add and assign tasks to each of the team members More >

For years, I have relied on Gmail to store my files due to the my More >
