For being a piece of software that is supposed to HELP document PHP code, it's documentation sure is awful. I can't seem to find anything I'm looking for. Like, available configuration options for an INI file. Or, how to specify an alternate template data directory.

… is a lot of work.

Jess and I have decided to buy a house. We had decided this before, but didn't have the time to do it in, so now we're starting again. However, because of our price range, I'm having a hard time finding anything special or different. But three or four days ago, I found almost everything I [...]

I have been made aware that it still isn't very clear WHAT Inklog is. So, I'd like to submit a better explanation.
Inklog is really two things.
1) It is a framework for developers to use to create applications in a
simple efficient manner that removes the trouble of dealing with
template engines, configuration, data storage, and other [...]

This is a lot easier to explain now that code is available. In Inklog, each all data items are Nodes. However, in order to extend the functionality of what a "node" is, this basic, generic, node is expected to be extended. In fact, the default actions and methods within a generic node return error messages [...]

After giving the code, individually, to many of the people who showed interest in Inklog I received no helpful or critical comments in regard to how it was written, how it works, or the overall design goal of the application. So I decided to release publicly. And still I received no comments, helpful, critical or [...]

… let there be code. And there was. But it sucked.
Okay, maybe it doesn't suck. Regardless, it creates things now. And that's it. Heh.
So, I'm getting sick of looking at all of this code and not really knowing if I'm going about it the right way. So I'm releasing version 0.0000000001a of Inklog. Wooo.
It [...]

The hardest most dreadful part of Inklog is upon me: theming. I've got the majority of the theming code done. But every half hour that I work on it, I change it to an entirely different structure. I'm stuck in a hole in between flexibility and ease of use.
For instance, when writing the image [...]

I can't honestly say anything about any presidential candidate aside from good ole Dubya, because I haven't really been paying attention. However, after the Iowa Caucuses last night, Howard Dean has been getting quite a bit of press regarding the end of the speech he gave after coming in 3rd place. Most people think that [...]

Before I moved into our current apartment, I read the reviews at ApartmentRatings.com. I found a few bad reviews and a few good reviews. Of course, I figured more people will complain than speak of good experiences. Therefore, since the bad reviews weren't horrible, it's probably not bad at all. Man was I wrong.
So, even [...]
