That's not uncommon. Once you get the know the framework you start trying to find ways to make it easier for yourself to start writing a new app.
But i think you should be cautious with extending the framework. Try to harvest the power of the CI code first before you start overwriting CI methods.[/quote]

Sure. More times then not it isn't overwriting the default methods, but improving or adjusting the current ones (as you seen me do on the thread for file upload renaming);

I tend to love overriding a method, calling the parent, then doing more manipulation stuff, then returning as the the parent method would return. The the core is still there and is being used, I've just made them.... better Naturally, these 'improvements' are project specific too. More times then not you won't see the same extensions across several different projects.
