Just had another “AWESOME” idea today that fits nicely with my desire to create something that can stay with an app as it grows. Once ked_core functionality is more or less finalized (sooner rather than later), I’m going to start hacking up a pecl extension that will mimic ked_core’s behavior perfectly, thus allowing the developer to simply comment out the require_once statement in index.php having installed the extension, maintaining the exact same behavior, but with less overhead, since the framework’s core will now be compiled.
As Crowley put it, that is overkill. I know. But I need to learn how to write PHP extensions 
I realize that I’ve started more projects in the last month than I have in the last 2 years. I am going to prioritize things a little bit – I want to focus on ked_duffel (the SVN delivery system) to start out, then once that’s functional use it to update mihasya.com’s framework files, then tinker with the framework a little bit, using duffel to test it on mihasya.com.
Once I’m happy with its functionality, I’ll start compiling a pecl skeleton and trying to fill it out, making heavy use of my rollover minutes – to call Crowley with dumb C questions.
Of course, all of this is going to have to wait a little bit – I realized recently that nearly two weeks had passed without me having done any paid work. Someone has to pay for Crowley’s lapdances, so I am going to dedicate a bit more time to Yahoo! stuff in the coming couple of weeks.
