long lost blog
Sorry there havent been any updates lately… been crazy busy with school and hockey…
I have 2 projects going on plus a lot of homework and couple test scattered here and there… school has been keeping pretty busy….
Hockey has been going well… been keeping the website up to date… www.rhc.org.vt.edu… go there and check it out… got the stats page up and going… I want to completely rewrite the backend of the site to allow for more features and easier queries… right now there are some pretty crazy SQL queries going on inorder to get the data from the DB in one query and reduce the load on the server… with my new DB schema which is very similar to the one in place now, those queries would be a lot simpler… plus add some AJAX, RSS, and some other web 2.0 features… that is when i actually find the time to do so…
Also need to start working on my christmas light controller as thanksgiving is approaching… and i need to start building up the infrastructure for the control system so that i can get atleast 64 channels going this year…
Just got a new book today… iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I invented the personal computer, co-founded Apple, and had fun doing it… its a pretty good read… there are many similarities between Wozs youth and mine… its pretty interesting… my favorite Woz story would be when he buys sheets of US currency and when he goes to pay for something, he will cut the bills from the sheet and hand them to the cashier… could lead to quite some interesting situations… i think im going to go read some more as well as work on this homework…
So much to do, so little time…
later,
J!
