If you use CodeIgniter (CI) like me, you’ve probably read/heard about the CSRF protection that comes built into this great framework.  I typically kept ajax functionality (form submissions in this case) to a minimum as I wanted to focus more on development and finishing a project than prettying it up with ‘Web 2.0′ stuff.

Morgage crisis? or Process crisis?

I figured that with all the turmoil in the market, it would be perfect to gamble and buy a house.  After all prices are at an all-time low, so I went for it. Since last November I have been looking at homes.  As my Realtor can attest, I have gone through probably 40+ homes before [...]
