Professional Freelance Web Developer
CodeIgniter Activist, Caffeine Junkie
With the sun shining and my vegetables really starting to shoot up, I can tell summer is now in full swing. There’s been some things on my mind that I though I’d share with you about where I’m looking to go, moving forward.
Firstly, my code. Since I first started releasing CodeIgniter Libraries they’ve been widely used and loved. But, there’s a problem. I’ve not had the time to support them or update them. The solution to this, I believe, is to start again, with updated, clean code…
After asking for your opinions on which library I should release, there was a clear trend towards oAuth integration in the current ‘Twitter CodeIgniter Library‘
So, here it is, a new version of the CodeIgniter Twitter API Library complete with oAuth!
Only yesterday I was releasing the CodeIgniter Twitter API Library, and now I’ve got another hot release for you all!
Vimeo is a fantastic video service with good quality flash encoding and a great free account. And now, it’s possible to use this service within your CodeIgniter applications.

Hi! Glad you dropped by.
I'm a 23 year old freelance web developer currently living on beautiful Walney Island, Barrow-in-Furness.
The web is certainly my passion. I care about building and maintaining really good applications that actually mean something. Freelancing isn't just my profession, it's a way of life for me, and I love to write and talk about freelance, the rewards and horrors.
I mainly write about web development.
It's great to receive feedback and opinion, so please feel free to comment and join the discussion.
I use 'FreeAgent' to track-time, create invoices, view reports, and calculate my tax. It's the perfect tool for a freelancer.
If you're a UK based freelancer, give it a go. It really does free up more time to actually work rather than messing around with admin tasks.
