My dog…also a test

Kinda a scary thought, isn’t it? But yeah, you can see what sort of links I have on there. Not all of them are deep, theological, or funny or technical. There are a random assortment of things on there as I come across them…..I come across a lot of the links through stumble. Man, has that become one of my best friends for finding information. Information that I didn’t think that I would be able to find otherwise…..

Speaking of random…..

I am now in the PGS program. My classes start in Feburary. Its kinda a bummer since they are on a Thursday night(youth group night) but that is ok. I have to get my degree, and I already talked to the youth leader about it, and he’s cool with it. It’s not like I am cutting out fully on them and leaving them or something. No, I will still be involved as much as I possibly can, although what that will look like now, who knows.

Still setting up my laptop after turning in my old one. Man, this thing is gonna need a memory upgrade to keep up with what I would like to do. I ain’t that advanced, and I need more than the 512 that the computer comes with…I wonder how much a gig stick would cost? Nah, too expensive!

Well, I refound out why I like PHP Designer 2005(2006 beta) so much. Maybe I should list why here….

1. The interface is nice. A little cluttered at first, but really easy to remove the clutter
2. It can use the php interpreter on the computer(php.exe) to run your php code without having to upload it to a web server….even nicer….
3. Built in FTP program. This would be nicer if my computer could not directly connect to the computer to place the files up on there(its on the network at work/school)
4. Syntex highlighting depending on which language you are prgramming in.
5. Ability to copy the files and synchronize them for offline use. This is handy, especially if for some reason I loose my connection to the share drive which I mapped which has the files. This wasy I can then go in and still work on the files, and then when the connection is re-established, be able to send them back to the server and have my content automatically updated….

Ok, this is enough for now….time to go….and cause havoc on the world.

Its amazing to think how that one event which has occured has changed my life so much.

I know I haven’t updated this blog that much. Been a little on the busy side this past month or so.

So what have i been busy with?

School, work, trying to keep a social life. Trying to continue to convince people that Me and Angel are not dancing—although they always fight me and say that we are dating…….it will never stop will it?

Well, the only thing that is really going on right now is that I am doing some projects for work. Yeah, thats about it.

Anything other than that? Students are leaving the school soon, so I will be having a little more free time to update the blog soon…..yeah….coming up—-more blogs–maybe….

I neede a break from PHP(currently in the process of revamping almost all of TIMS to go with suggestions of people to make it better!) so I decided to try my hand at perl a little. And guess what. My first program is done on it. Now it is nothing that big and special. In fact, i’m kinda ashamed about how simple it is. But it works. It relies heavily on Linux and its ability to read information from the battery. Basically all it does is read information from a text like file in linux, and displays the results/computations on the screen. But hey, it works, kinda got an idea how perl is similar and different to php and other languages I know. I like pearl. I wonder if I can get this to work in php well. I have some more fun things to research now!
