- I currently run a web development company called visicswire. I partnered with Jonathan Greene to start this company. We have been working together for more than a year, but our company is less than six months old. Check out the ever-growing list of work we’re doing. I’m attending night classes at the Illinois Institute of Technology working towards my Master of Science degree in Information Architecture. We have a joke about IIT amongst the students: “There’s no T in IIT.� (And it’s true, if there’s any technology around, I haven’t seen it.) We mostly just have crazy architecture. I was a staff member at Columbia College Chicago working in the Photography Department for two and a half years. I took care of the department’s computer network and other technology related items. I built a site for the photography department’s domain, photoweb.colum.edu, which remains the current site for the time being. I also built a web application for lab equipment reservation which also appears to still be in use. I was a founding member of another company, called Black Point Editions, with three other Columbia College Chicago students, two of whom are alumni and one of whom continues to take classes within the photography department. This company’s business is the production of gallery quality prints for artists at reasonable (and sometimes downright cheap) prices. Black Point Editions specializes in black & white printing through a system that goes by many names, but is commonly called Piezography by users, such as ourselves, of Jon Cone’s excellent ink system. We don’t limit ourselves to black and white, though, we also do some amazing things with color printing techniques. My past experience includes a two and a half year stint as an associate with Apogee Strategies LLC. This job entailed the maintenance of small-business networks, workstations, and servers. The majority of systems and servers I worked on during my tenure at Apogee were Windows-based, with the exception of two Macintosh-based businesses. Other responsibilities included advising clients on uses of technology within their business and industry, creating initial coded versions of websites from designer-produced Photoshop documents, and maintaining Apogee’s internal systems. I received a B.A. in Interactive Multimedia from Columbia College Chicago in December of 2005. While taking classes to achieve this degree, I studied programming, information design, graphic design, and management practices (both for businesses and for projects).

So I created a component awhile back for Textile. Turns out, it would be a little friendlier to just dump it in a behavior and let the model define fields that need to be saved with a textile'd version. It assumes that the textile'd fieldname has html_ added to it.
This also has options for

Textile 2.0.0 helper
This let's you easily use Textile to process content for your application.
Just drop it in /views/helpers/textile.php, then $textile->process($thedata).
You can also $textile->processRestricted($thedata) if input is coming from an unreliable source.
