I have been recently busy with University and restoring my old forum called The Rockers Cabin. I brought it back because one of my class mate suggested that I should bring back The Rockers Cabin and also because of the good times I had on that forum unlike MySpace which was a total nightmare that I don’t want to go back to. I also been writing a plugin for MyBB called “Autoembed MyCode Plugin for MyBB” and that happens to be the first programming script that I ever released to the public under the GPL license, what the plugin does is allow different video sharing site to be embedded from just one tag [vid][/vid] on MyBB. The project has nothing to do with University at all, I just wanted to see if I can create a plugin that take advantage of autoembed.com api and php class using object oriented PHP, and I was successful in exactly that.
Of course I have written some exclusive features (as least for MyBB forum software) for The Rockers Cabin such as Last.fm Integration.
The forum started off as PHPbb which was open source then it went to the premium Invision Power Board which is not free, didn’t like the way IPB were going especially when the project manager can’t be trusted and finally I went to the open source MyBB, it’s free as in freedom and beer. I did have a few problems while converting from IPB to MyBB and thankfully due the skills I learned from university I was able to fix most of the problems.
Anyway I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, if you have time please do come by The Rockers Cabin.
P.S. most of my enemies on MySpace do not know how to program, so therefore they should get out of my sight, shut the fuck up and stay away from my forums. I just showed them my hand on work and it has took a lot of hard work, so fuck off enemies.

Nothing feels like releasing your first program. It’s scary and exciting at the same time! I always hesitate before hitting the “download” or “save” button wondering if its all okay to go public. Inevitably there’s something I overlooked but it is usually a quick fix and things are back and running.
The real problem comes when I discover an error in a program I wrote a long time ago! By then I’ve lost my train of thought and feel like I’ve got to write it all over again- just to troubleshoot the error. I hope that never happens to you.
Congrats! Here’s to many more releases!
I agree it’s scary and exciting at the same time, the bugs are usually easy to fix. The first impression so far has been very good, if not excellent.
I use the Object Oriented concept along with Design Pattern concept, so if an error occurs in the program I will be able to fix it quite quickly and hopefully without rewriting the whole program. =)
Oh no that was a great problem,..Hope that it is solved.
Any way be careful while doing all these works…
All the best.
Don’t worry I will be careful, I’m always open to new concept and ideas!
No kidding, it takes courage to launch something online. The first couple of times its actually difficult to complete – imagine if something was not perfect! But then after a while you learn to accept that life is full of mistakes and should be so…
