I hate this site now
image

I unfortunately made the misguided move of inviting random people I don't care about into my online environment. I spent about 10,000,000 hours preparing this environment to be how I wanted it for me and my peeps and then everyone else got mixed in and now its all censored and boring. After years of being honest and being me I am now reduced to a series of update notifications and electro blurbs. I have decided that if I have to be so boring that I would rather spend my time writing a robot that will write my journal for me. So I may just do that. You probably won't even notice a difference.

I am sorry for those of you that feel the same way. I figured this would happen when Dr. Halavis said as it moves to about 200 people that it would be become less cohesive but I pushed the envelope and now everything is bad.

I have a couple options. One, finish my thesis and walk away from this project to pursue other stuff. Two, make this site a private one for member view only and have some sort of rigorous membership requirement. Three, move away. Four, move away. Five move away. Six, move away. Seven, move away. Eight, move away. Nine, move away. Ten, move away.

Argh that is exactly what I was making
I hate when that happens. I was totally going to develop that exact same thing when I saw it on (e:shawnr) 's journal [inlink]shawnr,53[/inlink] . I am convinced that there is nothing new in the world. I think I will still work on it, I will just need a new slant.

Grilling On The Go
So I get a call this afternoon from a local company that I had developed a web site for about 3 years ago. If you are looking for a grill and want to buy it from a local company, you should check them out . The factory is located right here in Buffalo on Niagara St and the prices are really cheap.

It was a fun project, back then I was using perl. The entire shopping cart system, notification system was done in perl. I wish I had had PHP back then. Today, I part of it that was having an issue, so I redid it in PHP. Wow, did the code look nicer and much shorter not to mention that I did not have to worry about UNIX line returns on the dos machine I am using for development. What is even crazier is that the server admin didn't even think he had PHP on the server.

I love PHP and anyone who says that PHP is like a little baby language is so wrong - it keeps getting bigger and better and is perfectly tailored for web development. It is fully capable of developing high end web applications. If you have used PHP up to version 4 and if you haven't checked out PHP 5 and it OOP programming ,soap, and XML capabilities than you are really missing the good stuff. Here is some moe info about why to choose PHP

Corporate users include Lufthansa which serves out 6 million pages per day using PHP. Others include Electronic arts, Disney, Deutsche Bank, lucent technologies, Walstreet online, sprint, vivendi, lycos, MIT web mail and more.
