Today was pretty descent. It started out kind of shaky with email problems with one of our remote plants, but things seemed to get better as it got closer to noon. I worked on a couple helper libraries for a PHP framework I like to use called Codeigniter . I highly recommend this framework. The website has some descent video tutorials to help show you some of the fundamentals of the framework and what it is capable of accomplishing. One negative against this framework is it’s not all that easy to set up with Microsoft’s IIS as it likes to use “clean URLs” to trip class functions of the framework. On a plus side however; it works quite well with Apache =) . Sometime tomorrow I’m going to start publishing my class libraries and helper functions on my site.
When I got home from work I changed clothes, did some deep stretches, grabbed my iPhone, and set out on a run. I had a fantastic run tonight I might add! I did 10.2 miles in just under one and a half hours. I am estimating my average pace for tonight was somewhere around 7.2 miles per hour, and the best part was I wasn’t all that winded either =) . My knees feel fantastic and I have to attribute it to the extra stretching I have been doing to the IT bands. I am also sure the strength training on my upper legs is helping too.
I made it to chapter 6 in my C++ book. Branching and conditional statements, here I come!
