It's nice when things work... ya right!

31 Oct

So i have not been updating my site that much, been very busy. I was at one time reading about 3 books a week, now i am lucky to get 1 finished. I have new pictures of Simon i want to get uploaded soon. I was just now looking around my site seeing what things needed some attention, and i was surprised that some things are already working. That was good news. Then i tried to update this post and realized that the update feature was not working. Grrr!!! So it was off to fix that. Once i got into the code i realized that it was using the old way of me doing things, so i wanted to update that first. So i have moved part of it to the latest Eve framework. It's allot better, but still needs attention. Also i fixed the categories, but was debating how i was going to handle sub categories. I think i have a way i will still approve of months down the road, so i am going to work on that here soon. I have already started to add new categories, and need to update my public website code.

Also getting back into the database i realized that it needed some attention as well. I am now using UUID for record id's. It makes it easier to store the record in memcache, and i personally like it.

I have still been working with the PHPEclipse project, but it's slow going. Just got a clients website finished a few weeks ago, and the first 30 days have been nice to me. It was a big project that took me longer than i wanted, but it's up. You can visit it at www.maloofcom.com. Some things will get updated over time, developers know how that goes. I really want to see the site go to Eve 2.0 framework. It will get all the memcache goodness and be faster. I need to meet with the client about that and present the benefits of updating the code.

My DLZSync project took a major setback. While i was writing unit tests to validate that the software was working the way i expected it to work i found a serious bug with Berkeley DB code. So i need to strip the code down and start working it over again. Good news is the Postgresql and MySQL versions are working very well. So i am going to spend some time on that as soon as i can.

I want to spend some time in the PHPEclipse project working on DBG and PHPUnit. I really need PHPUnit support, i have become addicted to writing unit tests. It has helped me so much. DBG needs to work with RSE and also not terminate after each PHP page is parsed.

Also noticed that my blog has more draft posts showing up then published. I think i am using it more for a scratch pad then a blog system. Oh well.

 

Till next time.

New Year

02 Jan

Well it's the start of a new year and not much has changed. It was a good time in 2007, and things went well. I started a new job at a place i really enjoy working. I enjoy my job so much i fear that they will fire me.

My wife is doing good, and the baby is doing good. She went to the doctor today, and our little guy measures 3 days ahead of where he should be. So that is good news i hope.

My book reading has been crazy, i have started to read more about science, evolution and the Bible. Some of the things i am reading about have me thinking allot. I plan on posting more about what i have learned later. I still have more research to do. I have some friends that kids go to public school, so i have asked them to check there Science books about evolution. It will be interesting to see what they find.

I still plan to publish the new code for the blog system, just spend more time reading and researching things, and not actually coding.

Well this is a short post, but i will have more interesting stuff sooner or later. Hopefully sooner than later.

Demon Hunter

07 Nov

This band simply rocks. I have all their albums and with the latest "Storm the Gates of Hell" they get even better. What i do like is finding the "Behind the song" stuff. I am not sure if all these links are correct, as in there content is really from DH, but i will list them here. If they are wrong let me know. Here is the link to the lyrics and story behind the song. Don't forget to check out Demon Hunter on MySpace. Get the album and rock out.
