First full week of 8 hour days in a while,  just complete.   

I’m sitting here in the Nashville Public Library, at one of the public PCs, waiting for Janet and Kelli to get out of a puppet show. I talked to Larry on the phone just before we left the house to come up here, and he was encouaging me about the Contractor position I just landed, which will give me a Continue Reading

Pocket PC search commences.  In conjunction with my start of some new development,  I have also been charged with finding a Pocket PC that will suit me (and preferrably,  not become obsolete too quickly). 

I have begun setting up shop in anticipation of the beginnings of some remote work to be done for Old St. George on their Web environment, Wireless network datastores,  their bookstore and its use of book data in Forum discussions, Weblogs,  and much more.  Exciting times. I have awakened each day with a sense of expectation and energy I haven’t Continue Reading

Sitting here at 942 am EST, in the Bookstokre of OSG, contemplating what I might say to Larry about some immediate work on the OSG Web prescence. I just took some video with my JVC DV-Video camera, from which I will extracxt some stills, and perhaps put up some short video clips.

My Web projects and Job inquiries on this,  the 20th anniversary of my marriage to Janet.   I have begun a small Website project for a member of the Church we’ve been attending.  She has published a book,  and I’m going to spend some hours doing a website for her ($200).  It’s a cheap price,  but it will help me to Continue Reading

It’s “for my own sake” cuz I’m not making any money. I gotta do that. Like yesterday. A short list of “projects” that I want to expand upon in the upcoming hours and days:

Trackback feature on SecondBlog test (so I guess I link to the TheoblogicalCommunity )…..no,  link to Blogworks2This is my first server side blog tool (Blogworks) and I have a Movanle Type installation that is awaiting the admins to install DB_File

DotNetNuke is a framework that extends from the IBuySpy Portal.  I downloaded and istalled Nuke locally, a nd copied out the files to my new host and requested a “dotnetNuke” database (which is taking a bit longer than previous requests).  Anyway,  I am hopeful thatby studying and “monkeying” with IBS (IBuySpy) and DNN (DotNetNuke),  I can come up with a Continue Reading

Today Janet and I went to a meeting with our son Brian (8th grade) and the high school couselor to select his classes for next year (High School classes! Where has the time gone?).  Brian has been seriously slacking in his academics this year,  and we were after him to improve things after a very slow start last fall.  This Continue Reading

More in the Community Starter Kit. I finally got all the data pushed out,  after installing a 120-day eval of SQL Server 2000.  The images are apparently retrieved by a highly dynamic building of a path,  which does not make it to the uploaded depoyment of the virtual directory files to the public Web (address not yet revealed,  since it Continue Reading

Downloaded this today,  as a way to look for solutions to e-zines, mailing lists, and intranets for Church communication agencies: Community Starter Kit Features The Community Starter Kit enables an individual or an ISP to quickly create a community Web site such as a user group site, a developer resource site, or a news site.

I bought the Cold Fusion MX Web Application Construction Kit earlier this week,  out of a sense of urgency to get going and learn this….already several contacts I have made are doing work in Cold Fusion.  Since I’m already in the Macromedia fan corner,  I might as well do it. It all looks so familiar,  from having been an ASP Continue Reading

Wouldn’t it be great if I were able to find that dream job,  with a theological organization,  that sent me to an event like this to research the possibilities for the Church? ClickZ Weblog Business Strategies 2003 Conference & Expo is the first business-oriented forum to address the recent emergence of Weblogs into the business world and their rising importance Continue Reading

If I can make a go of an upcoming Web project,  and renew some efforts to add new features to a Church Web for which I have found little time to go beyond mere “updates”,  there may be a “synergy” that can happen by applying some of the “code” used for one business Web project to enhance the features of Continue Reading
