PCG – PHP Code Generator for CodeIgniter

If you are like me, you hate coding the basics, the add, delete, modify, view commands that are the basis of all applications, also known as CRUD (create, read, update and delete). It’s the first thing you do when creating an application, then you create your custom views, and forms. For me, its a keystone step in creating any application, and I hate it.

In walks PCG, the PHP Code Generator, which is CodeIgniter based. I have been using CodeIgniter for over a year now because I find it quite simple to use. PCG takes the simplicity one step further by allowing you to create the CRUD portion of you script in 5 easy steps:

Step 1: Settings

Simply Name your project (Website Title)
Give the URL (Must be a fully qualified domain name, IPs don’t work, I tried)
Supply your admin login and password

Step 2: Design

This is where you get to create your modules, it creates all the pages you need to complete the CRUM for each module.…

The sum of everything, oddly enough is -1/12

Its ok if can’t wrap your head around it… the sum of 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5… to infinity to me would be an exponentially huge number. Most non mathematicians would a agree, theoretically it would be right? However its wrong, the answer is in fact, -1/12 and is found all over the place in the world of Physics.

The following video does some mathematical calculations to show you how exactly that the addition of all natural numbers comes to be a negative fraction.

Even after watching the video, I am still amazed at how its possible.…

Just when you think you have seen it all… This shows up.

I love cheese, any kind you can give me, at least I thought I did… I mean I love Brie, Emmental, Cheddar, Mozzarella, Gouda, etc… But Belly Button, Armpit, Toe and Human mouth cheese… its enough to turn my stomach…

Cheese is known for its stinky odor. But, cheeses at one exhibit at the Science Gallery Dublin in Trinity College Dublin come from an especially smelly source — human toe, armpit, belly button and mouth bacteria.

Selfmade, which is part of the Grow Your Own…Life After Nature exhibition, features different “microbial sketches” of cheeses created with bacteria samples from various people.

No Regrets

I have no regrets, to have regrets is to wish something was different about your life, to have regrets is to play the “what if” game with your past. “What if I hadn’t messed up that relationship”, “what if I had taken that job out west”, “what if I had stayed”, or “what if I had left”. But to play the “What if” game can take a turn for the worse… “What if I had been a few seconds faster”, a thought that used to run through my head about my accident when I was 2 weeks away from turning 16, traveling up the overpass on my bike when a car cut me off, sending me flying through the air and crashing down on my back.…

What kind of world do we live in where we can no longer trust our Doctors?

Doctors have forever been one of the professions we regards in the highest when it comes to authoritative figures. By this I mean people you can trust, be it to keep you safe, or to keep you healthy, Doctors have always been there to help us, and keep our deepest secrets safe (Doctor Client privilege).

Along with Priests and lawyers, this privilege is sacred, and should never be broken except in absolutely extreme circumstances (ex: If a psychiatrist find out one of his patients is a serial killer, they need to report it). But now Doctors are using Social Media to post images and comments about patients.…

This is creative and funny

Ok, so I was reading one of the many posts I find on Facebook, The Verge, Business Insider, etc, you know, the sites I troll while manning the Volunteer Desk at work, which is really the most time I have to do this as when my volunteers are here I have lots of managerial work to do. But as my volunteer is absent this morning, trolling is what I did. The post I came across has to do with Reddit and the all time top 200 posts (original article found here). The best one I got to read thus far is entitled “I hate my job” but the original post’s style sheet seems to be corrupted, or maybe that’s just how all pages look once archived.…

Well its now 2014, maybe I should make another post?

We’re already well into 2014 (2 weeks since New Years Eve) and I haven’t made a post yet… For one I want to wish my readers a Happy New Year and hope that 2014 proves to be a prosperous safe year for everyone.

Jetpack, which is a really good plugin I use here at Considered Normal? released the 2013 Annual Report which covers the top posts here over he last year.

I hope to get more posts out soon that people will want to read, from breaking news to How-To tutorials. 2014 is going to be a technologically revolutionary year in my opinion, and I cannot wait to see what it brings.…

Battlefield 4 Emblems

I am a HUGE fan of the Battlefield series, and there are only a few out of the many games under that title that I have not played (Battlefield 3, sadly was one of them, so some of my comments may conflict with BF3, just keep that in mind).

A brief history of my Battlefield gaming “career”… in 2002 I bought Battlefield 1942 and the expansion pack Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII. I was an avid player of the Desert Combat mod, created by Trauma Studios (Bought out by Dice in 2004 to help create Battlefield 2). Two years later I bought Battlefield Vietnam, the second title in the series, which was a vast improvement over 1942, adding moving (and burnable) grass as well as more detailed textures and characters. …

Earthships – What our future should look like

Yesterday I posted an article about how events like Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster have destroyed our world, and how we cannot help but destroy our natural resources. Today, a friend of mine on Facebook, posted a link to a High Existence post entitled “10 Reasons Why EarthShips Are F!#%ing Awesome“. I started looking at the concepts and it blew me away. We have the ability to create homes that 1. Recycle material like old tires, tin cans, and plastic bottles, 2. Reduce our strain on our ecosystem, by reducing or eliminating our need to be attached to the grid (electricity), 3.…

Yup, we’ve F@#$ ourselves.

Its been over 2 years since the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, which due to its location, makes it far worse then Chernobyl disaster of 1986. Because the plant sits directly on the ocean, tons of radio active water has been pumped into the oceans, contaminating our already fragile ecosystem.

It is sad to see that we have become our own demise. We need not create a World War III to end our planet, we simply have to be ourselves… We are a destructive race, and again I do not mean a Warring race, although we are that as well, but our very nature, we destroy and consume all that is around us, we create dangerous power plants in areas that should have never had them.…
