    Well, it is a well known fact learned from years of research that people who choose a career path of developing CodeIgniter applications do so because they lack the proper footwear to take a job that does not involve sitting in front of a computer all day.

    We choose to sit in front of a computer because we have no shoes to go out into the real world.

    These people are just trying to help.

    I’m a barefoot programmer, so I don’t care.

    Maybe you’re not aware how popular theses forums are with Google… the spammers know.

    its because as web developers we feel the need to click every link that is placed in front of us. no matter if it says “Free MacPro” or “This link will not hurt your computer by downloading a virus”. we cant help it. im going to try to find a help group. WDWCSCHA (Web Developers Who Cannot Stop Clicking Hyperlinks Anonymous). im sure there will be millions of members.

    sorry for dropping in late to this party, but if you see spam, just report it with the “report” link in the head of the post.

    I had to stop making my own shoes last week.  When I stuck my thumb with a needle trying to sew the leather together, I realized I needed that thumb in prime working order so that I could efficiently press the space bar with it.  It took three days for my thumb to heal, and three days of lost programming because of an injured thumb.

    I will now have to purchase my own shoes.  I also have to hire out carpentry work that needs to be done since the “hammer incident of ‘04.”

    The only programmers who make their own shoes are the ones who still use sed as their source code editor.

    Leave it to a Mac addict to let those elves make chocolate chip cookies in the dryer.  I only did that once, and when melted chocolate came out on my favorite shirt, I said enough was enough.  Now they have to use the iron.  I wear my shirts wrinkled anyway. 😉

    Maybe the shoe spammer and the rolex watch spammer from the Code & Application Development forum should get together and save space.

    Hmmm… perhaps them getting together would save “time” by saving a “few steps”?
