Stuffs in the Works

Recently one of my good buddies Matt (aka Matsta) referred me to another one of his friends who needed a web application built for his new website. After some negotiation, I had decided that I would build this application for him for free, so long as the source code to the application was Open Source. So here I am building this fairly large web application, and although I have had to stop working on most of my other projects, a lot has still come from this little endevour.

One of the biggest things (I think anyway) which has come from this is the massive improvements that I've made to the former MadBB API. It's really starting to turn into a robust framework so to speak. I have reformed pretty much everything in it, including making it entirely PHP 5 compliant. So now it uses custom exceptions to handle errors rather than printing that nasty error message it used to show. The developer or whoever is using it, now has the power to decide how an error is handled.

Secondly, as a result of me doing this huge favor him, he bought the domain madsoft.org for me, so I/we will finally have a website. And he also offered to make me a custom template/design to go on the website. So nothing but great things should be foreseen in the future, but let's hope for the best anyway.
