A new step

Since many of my friends are musically inclined, in fact, many programmers, I've decided to join them. I've gotten a guitar. An electric guitar to be exact. Actually, it was given to me by my brother-in-law who is moving and is taking his acoustic guitar with him. He also gave me a small amp and a distortion peddle.


I used to take piano/keyboard lessons when I was a kid, and have always wanted to get more involved in learning an instrument. A free instrument was very opportune. I've had many folks show me how to play a few strings here and there, but without a guitar of my own, it was all for not. Now I can strum along to my hearts content, and my wife's discontent.

Back to programming, I don't remember if I mentioned here or not, but we've implemented a home grown Project Management system. Basically, you can post projects, and update the status of them. I built it from the ground up, database included, using examples I've seen online. My boss loves it. Guess that's what matters most.

Updates

Ok, things have settled down. I hope my dad get's over his pneumonia soon, he's running out of things to do. I updated the colors of links in the blog. I don't know if people could see them. My GBPVR and MVP setup rocks. Here are some of the modules I've got running: Recording Of Course, so that I can record shows Weather We have basic cable, so we don't get the weather channel. This gives us local weather. Music Plays all the stored music to our stereo. Pics We have Gigs worth of pics. Now we can slideshow them to our TV. They aren't even on the GBPVR server, they're on the Linux Server! Web Music Streaming radio stations, so I can listen to my CT stations from PA! Caller ID I can see who's calling when I'm in the middle of a movie so I don't have to get up and check. Cinema I can see listings of what's playing at the local theaters. All of this on our TV, with one remote!!! Sweet!

Posting from home

Okay, for those of you looking for something a little more rich than a text editor to do PHP. (If you really have to do PHP.) Try PHP designer . It's nice to have an app that highlights the {} for you when that's what you have to use. I'm still getting use to it's autocomplete, but that's a nice feature too. Now, since I've been working from home doing some stuff, I obviously need to have a web server to try it on. Being the cheap geek I am, I didn't want to pay for hosting. So I'm running Apache. (See previous posts that I am too lazy to link to.) 'Well... what is it?' you say. It's not much . But now at least it's something.
