Personal
I've been writing Joomla extensions for a long time; something like 10 years. I'm no stranger to extensions that I write having their functionality absorbed into the Joomla core. I expect it.
Independence Day is important to me, and many Americans. I thought I'd write something patriotic and non-programming related today.
I'm a reasonable guy. I spend a lot of time freely supporting extensions that I also give away for free. A few of my extensions are paid, and I support them as well. For users who buy my extensions, I give them a bit more attention - because they paid for it.
An upgrade to JApplicationWeb::setHeader/sendHeaders behavior which brings Joomla into current HTTP header standards compliance puts RicheyWeb into the Joomla credits for version 3.7
Transition to a new website was long overdue. Like the anecdotal carpenter, my house was often neglected and never complete.
I've been busy, if you hadn't noticed. GDPR compliance is a looming threat that will affect not only EU businesses, but potentially any business that has users in the EU. Staring down the barrel of a 20 Million Euro fine is incentive enough for me to do something to protect myself and my customers, especially the ones I host. Search for GDPR in the box above to get an idea of what I've been working on.
Yet again I'm confronted with some lazy thief stealing my code and claiming it as his own!
