is it possible to extend an application controller?

The standard way of extending core controllers is pretty effective, and it's unlikely that you'd want to have more than one additional level.

Note that you can change the MY_ prefix to whatever you prefer. Look at your application/config/config.php:

Code:

$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';

Of course it's probably not good to change this if you're still learning CI, as everyone else around here will be talking about MY_Controller.
