Dear Codeigniter

I’ve been meaning to bring this up for a while but it never seemed to be the right time but I’ve met someone else so I think its time to finally end this relationship.

I am pleased to announce that my first Spotify App went live a couple of weeks ago and was quite an exciting time for me. The app was built for the iconic music brand NME to bring new music recommendations, featured album and track reviews and NME generated Playlists. You can read the official announcement on NME.COM

One of the components most apps might want to use is the Spotify Player, this is the widget that allows you to play / pause albums, tracks and playlists.

This post is quite long in coming as I have been playing with the Spotify Apps API for a while now. For those who don’t know what the Spotify Apps API is, basically it’s a framework provided by Spotify to allow third-party apps to sit within the Spotify Desktop application and interact with the audio functionality that Spotify users use such as playing tracks / albums, recommending music, playlists etc etc.

Something I have been pondering over the last few days whilst studying a course on management is where in the hierarchy of needs does the morality of ones employer fit.

Its been quite a while since I last blogged anything, partly because I have been quite busy and partly because I didn’t have anything interesting to say.

To follow up on my previous articles about osCommerce and the BSD Licence and osCommerce and the CLA this article aims to explain some of the reasons behind why osCommerce 3.x has a minimum requirement of PHP 5.3

To follow-up to my previous posting about osCommerce and the BSD Licence I will now try and answer some of the misconceptions around the new CLA (Contributor License Agreement) which was added as part of the osCommerce 3.x release. I will also aim to make this into an official FAQ document when time allows.

There have been a number of comments made about the license change of osCommerce 3.x to the BSD. This post aims to dispel some of the confusion around the change and will hopefully be the primer for a proper FAQ on www.oscommerce.com when I have some time. If there are any questions you have that you would like answered post them here as comments and I will make sure to include them in the official FAQ.

Quite often I want to be able to do a backup of some files / folders on a remote server. So far I have been doing this quite successfully using public/private key authentication with scp and then entering my passphrase when prompted.
