Thanks Nick - things are moving along slowly but surelyOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostGood luck
Do things seem promising?
I'm working on the foundations of plan B - I want to make sure that they are as inscrutable as possible. If you have crap foundations, any future progress is going to be flawed.That boy go raaaaaaa

Keep busy it's all good.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostYup, I'm just going through tidying things up - well, actually, I think I've finished
I've spent most of today adding in the bit that fetches all the CSS files for the page using CURL, and extracts the URLs of any background images specified therein - might as well be thorough
ClientCo's existing PHP MVC apps follow a (to my mind) peculiar pattern whereby the controller is a subclass of the model
I followed this pattern to make things work the way they're used to, so it's easy for them to muck around with it when I've gone; but every few minutes I seemed to uncover another reason why this is a Bad Thing
Still, I now have a deeper understanding of the principle "Favour object composition over class inheritance"
Nick as you're the master of coding can you recommend any good books on Python and Perl? I'm interested in mucking around with it.That boy go raaaaaaa

Benchbound although I have some internet marketing/SEO work lined up and business partner wants to launch internet marketing/SEO business as well
Plus Plan B can get some good attention as well, I'll look for another gig but I'd really quite like not to need one
First things first I will need a good few days off
