Gate Posted: 1:39:00 AM 0 comments |
|
In a recent post, I mentioned that I was combining roncli.com, my projects site, and this blog into one website. Well, work on it has begun, and it's called Gate. The name Gate is actually short for Aggregate, which I will somehow work into the main theme. Gate itself aims to be an open source, modular project. The first three modules will be a wiki, a Blogger-supported blog, and a project management module. I've been working on the SQL Server database setup the last week and a half or so and have it just about completed. Now I gotta write the repair script, which is what happens when installation goes wrong. It's been pretty fun, as I've been using jQuery and jQuery UI for the interface, allowing for the installation to be robust and user friendly. The challenge is going to be figuring out how I want to do the modules. There are two problems to solve here. First, I need to figure out how to handle database usage between the modules and the core application. I'm using LINQ to SQL to build the data structures and synchronizing them with SMO, so theoretically the modules could use a separate LINQ to SQL file for the same database, but that might not be very optimal. Second, I need to figure out if I am going to be able to just drag and drop modules into the /bin directory or if I'm going to have to compile it into the main website. The design strategy is to keep things simple for the user to install, so it would be nice if I didn't have to recompile things for every module. I know how to do plugins for desktop applications, as I have in Solar, a TCP/IP text processing engine that I've written that allows users to write their own plugins to process the text however they want to. Would it work for websites, or even make sense for them? That is the challenge ahead of me. The nice part of it, like I said, is that it's open source. I'm doing this mostly for myself, and if others can get good use out of it, that's great. And if I can get others to help out with the code, that's even better. But until I have a functional version, I'm pretty much just going to write the core module plus the wiki, blog, and projects modules myself. Once the new roncli.com is online, then I'll look into releasing Gate as its own project. |

Fastest. Project. Evar. Posted: 12:56:00 AM 0 comments |

I've decided that I'm going to write a website that combines my three main personal sites: Projects, roncli.com, and this blog. One of the biggest features of this site is the ability to easily add an RSS feed to a webpage without having to write separate pages or nasty ASP.Net http handlers. Basically what I wanted was to have URL's that look like "...page.aspx" load the usual aspx, but "...page.aspx?feed=rss" load the RSS feed instead of the normal page. This idea led me to the ASP.Net RSS Toolkit, a very easy to use toolkit with some nice features. Including the ability to quickly make RSS feeds. That, combined with a 34-line class (counting 6 blank lines) that inherits from System.Web.Ui.Page, overrides OnPreInit, and forces inheriting classes to override a GetFeed function, and I'm ready to create feeds not only in RSS, but also Atom, OPML, and RDF as well. Wow. The demo app was more challenging to write than this gem. I want to give it a test run, probably on some Six Minutes To Release pages, and see if it's stable. However, shortly thereafter I will probably release this to CodePlex so that other people can get their hands on it. I am rapidly becoming addicted to RSS feeds since my iPhone reads em pretty good using Byline. I have feeds from all over the Internet, and it's nice to be able to have one central place to find out what's going on in my own little corner of the world.

Five months later... Posted: 6:28:00 PM 0 comments |
|
I don't know if I just get carried away, overestimate my ability, or underestimate my availability. In any case, I finally was able to scratch off Ticket #80 from my projects... about five months later than planned. This is very annoying to me. It should not take me five months to put one section of a relatively simple website together. Okay, so it's not so simple. I threw a lot of bells and whistles in, yes, but in the end the code behind it is easy. What the heck took me five months to complete it? In any case, I'm rather proud of my work at the moment, and invite you to visit Six Minutes To Release and check out the Raids section for the calendar, groups, and all sorts of other WoW-related hoopla that I could throw into it. Maybe I did get carried away. Labels: Coding, Projects, Six Minutes To Release, trac |

CTG Trac Posted: 2:35:00 PM 0 comments |
|
As mentioned in the previous post, I have managed to figure out how to extend trac to make other project websites. My first was the CTG trac. This is simply going to serve as a bug tracking system, and will allow the developers to be able to easily browse the code. The code is not available to anonymous users obviously, but it's definitely a resource the developers can use as necessary. The CTG SVN also exists, but is closed to everyone but the developers. Over the weekend, I made a bit of a change to the way the Reviewer of the Week was handled, but ended up breaking it. The code apparently couldn't handle unescaped apostrophes. Oh boy, the nuiances of other languages, maintaining this piece of joy should be as fun as usual... |

Projects now on IIS, SVN available Posted: 2:25:00 PM 0 comments |
|
The projects website is now live on my IIS server. I had to fix some problems with the CGI, but once I resolved those it worked just fine. The nice thing about this fix is that it allows me to create other tracs across my server. I've also made my SVN repository accessable at svn://svn.roncli.com/ronclipro. Currently I have my World of Warcraft Grid modules available along with the initial tests for my Space addon collection. I also added my first attempt at an IRC Bot for Outpost Music, and my ever so simplistic IsItUp application. Both of these I'd like to develop at some point, but it's not something I plan on prioritizing any time soon. The biggest addition to the repository was the source code to the D3TL, the Descent 3 Teams League website. I haven't touched the code in years, and figured that the best place for it would be out in the open, in case anyone wanted to do something with it. More stuff will be added as time and energy allows. Labels: Coding, D3TL, Descent 3, Gaming, Grid, IRC, IsItUp, Projects, trac, World of Warcraft |

Time Posted: 4:50:00 PM 0 comments |

Time seems to have eluded me lately, mostly going to gaming when I'm at home. That doesn't mean I haven't been busy, though. First up is my new Projects site. I've got trac working on my computer, and will be using it to track the many projects I am working on. I have too many projects. Another thing I'm working on is a wiki for Cute Trance Girls (Sorry, I can't help it!). Recently CTG was thinking of shutting down, and I really didn't want to see that happen. So, I joined the staff, where ideas are flowing freely on how to improve the site. I may or may not get into coding, we'll see. But for now my main goal is to help the site stay alive and improve, and if that requires coding, then coding it shall be. PHP, yuck... On Trax in Space, I've been as active as ever. I have just completed my third Artist of the Month article, and listen to every song on the site while compiling my "Best of TiS" playlists. The goal is to take those playlists and make some podcasts out of them. Whether I do that or not depends on how long I can rip myself away from WoW while Kathy's at work.

Year in Review Posted: 2:51:00 PM 0 comments |
|
What a hectic end to 2006, where to start. Work. Metro seemed like a decent place to work. The environment was laid back, the pace was healthy but not too quick. The people were great to work with. It had its problems, though. I never got a salary review, but didn't feel like I needed it, as the money I was making there supported me and then some. It came crashing down in late July, however, when my boss either got laid off, one among 100, to cut costs. We were now managed by a guy out of New York City, a long ways away from Houston. Consultants were hired for a project, sending off warning alarms. Why spend more money when you just cut back? Perhaps the lay offs were done to allow this, I don't know, but it looked silly. Then I started hearing some rumors about the future of the department and the office I worked in, all of which were bleak. Given what I knew within the company and taking the rumors with a grain of salt, I still got the impression that it was going to be a good idea to bail, and that's exactly what I did. Shortly after Thanksgiving, I started a new job with US Interactive, a local company that does defensive driving websites. So far, it's not been bad, I'm just going through the usual bits of getting up to speed. They do C#.Net here, which actually is pretty nice. I'm liking working with it so far, but I have much to learn about how they do things here, and that is a challenge I feel I will enjoy in the coming months. Outside projects. I had started a project with my friend Saurin a while ago. Originally, I was going to be the main developer and all-around technology person, something the HP I've mentioned in earlier posts is being used for. Things quickly went south when it was decided that PHP would be the better path, a language I previously have known nothing about. I didn't put up much of a fight for ASP.Net, as I wanted to keep an open mind when it came to server performance and what not. Another developer was brought on board, and it made sense for him to be the lead. After a couple of weeks of studying and writing PHP, I quickly realized that this project had become something I had no real interest in anymore. Saurin wants this project to move fast, and I can't deliver on that. Now, he's a great friend and all, and he's probably more than willing to wait for me to learn PHP, but quite frankly he's shooting himself in the foot by not getting himself a seasonsed PHP developer that can write more than one page a week. Earlier this week, I decided it was in my best interest to discontinue this project. Another project I've been working on outside has to do with website building, and I'm not really interested in that either. It was another project that started as something big and turned out to be a lot less than what it was. I plan on removing myself from that project today. It seems like with the new job and two less big projects to deal with, 2007 promises to be the year of the fresh start. I have been contemplating for a long time to return to doing a weekly Internet radio program, similar to the TiS Weekly News, which ran as a test beta for two weeks before I decided it wasn't worth it. My format would basically be commentary on the digital music scene, spiced with a bunch of tracks from around the digital music community. Well, I think I'm finally going to start doing this, with the first show airing Monday, January 8th, 6 AM GMT (1 AM U.S. East Coast). The idea is for it to run an hour to two hours, depending on how much music I have to play and how much I have to talk about, including possible interviews and Internet callers. The show would of course be podcasted and archived for future listening. I don't have a name for it yet, but I'm going to be taking care of all the technological concerns this weekend before I head to Buffalo for Christmas and New Year's. As for my personal projects, I've pretty much lost interest in a lot of them. It happened during the 4th of July weekend when I reformatted my computer and had days of trouble afterwards. After that, my frustration with things grew, and I realized I didn't have the patience to deal with making things work, so I passed on the projects for a while. One project that hasn't died completely is OSMusic.Net. You may not see anything new there, but I am working on a basic graphical interface that will replace the clunky-looking boxes that I've grown to hate. No idea when I'm going to finish this project, as it's going to take quite some time to morph all of the tables, but it should look pretty cool. I've been doing a lot of gaming lately, mostly for relaxation. I got hooked on to Aveyond through Kathy's Shockwave subscription. Aveyond is an RPG reminiscent of the old Nintendo RPGs, like Dragon Warrior. Then Kathy got me into Westward, an RTS based in the old west. It's hilarious. Both highly recommended. My latest obsession, though... yeah, yeah, I know it's cliche, but I've finally broken down and started playing World of Warcraft. It was actually something I have tried under the advice of my new co-workers, most of which play, but it's something I've been considering trying for a long time. Kathy was none-too-pleased, largely due to some of the negative stereotypes found around the 'Net. She didn't get Leeroy, either. However, I have found the game to be quite different from what I was expecting, something I'll save for another post. One thing I did accomplish this year was to finally get out of debt. Ever since the end of 2000, I've been in debt, and it's taken 6 long years to finally get out. I almost have the feeling that I can do just about anything now, and even have been thinking about finally getting some real music gear to do some real recording with. I probably won't be doing that until at least the second half of 2007, though. 2006 was crazy, especially in the second half of the year when I probably overwhelmed myself with responsibility, but I've been able to take a step back and recover. Kathy noted in the days up to my leaving Metro that I was a different person, nervous and unhappy. I knew this, and the night after my last day I was back to my normal self. I knew I would be, stressful things like this never last for long unless you let them, and I have a habit of eliminating unnecessary stress. You can't go through life worried and unhappy, you have to do what it takes to make sure that you don't stress yourself out for long periods of time. Right now I am in a pretty comfortable position, and I think that 2007 is going to be a year of new things. I turn 30 in June, and a lot of thoughts about where to take my life from here have crossed my mind... we'll see how much I get to do in the coming 12 months.

Yet Another Update Posted: 9:24:00 PM 0 comments |
|
For a few days at least, I'm going to be able to get back to doing some of my projects. I think the one thing I really want to work on right now is OSMusic, because it's just dead right now. It kills me that such a potentially valuable resource could go so unused. I'm hopefully going to get the projects off the ground to be able to add that for the December update, while fixing some bugs and planning the next community feature. I'm not going to have a good handle on projects as a whole for a while, because I've been away from them for so long. I'll probably spend tomorrow planning everything out and getting all of the ideas ready to implement so that I can finally make some progress on the things I want to do. I've turned in my resignation for Westwood One, as I've got a new job coming up at US Interactive, a company that does online defensive driving courses. They use ASP.Net, and I'm really excited to finally be able to get into .Net professionally. This starts shortly after Thanksgiving. I'm mulling heading to San Francisco next weekend to meet up with Saurin. We've got something going on that I'm pretty excited about, and I think it would be a great opportunity to nail some stuff down development-wise with him. He wants to do some coding, and now that I've got a pretty good idea as to how we're going to set stuff up, we're ready to move forward with actually developing things. We'll be using PHP, so there's going to be a small learning curve. Speaking of PHP, the question of whether PHP v. ASP.Net is still up in the air. Both perform well, but we decided on PHP because of the dollar amount. It doesn't look like it's going to be too bad for me, it's very C-like in syntax, and we have another developer on board who knows a lot about PHP. And I'm happy to say that all that stress from September and October has vanished with the wind. There have been a number of reasons why my stress level has been so high, and most of them were work related. Now that Westwood One's out of the picture, I feel like a new person.

Round Up Posted: 1:15:00 AM 0 comments |

[Listening to: Nonpoint - The Truth - XM 48 Squizz]
First of all, what the hell's wrong with Blogger.com? I had to log in to post this. I hate doing that. Anyway, since I haven't posted in a while, I figured it would do me well to give a round up of what's been happening.
Finally, a link to drop. My sister is the lead singer of If Paige Wins, an alternative rock band out of Buffalo, NY. The website doesn't have much yet, but you can listen to the band's music. It is really good, she sounds like a cross between Amy Lee, Sarah McLachlan, and Alanis Morissette. Hopefully I won't keep to myself as much as I have, I really don't like neglecting this blog, it's the only place I get to consistantly communicate with a lot of you. So, until next time.

Not too much going on right now. I've taken on another project that should be picking up really soon which will probably take up a lot of my time. In the meantime, I've stopped work on everything else to work on a game in C++ using SDL and OpenGL... goodness, the horizons I'm expanding with this project... which should be relatively done within the month. I'm having a lot of fun coding this one... it's a simple point and click game, and I've been challenging myself to use things I haven't touched yet, such as operator overloading, templates, vectors, and other simple concepts. At the same time, it's a fun game to play, so most of my time has been actually playing it. Yes, I have a working alpha, so it shouldn't be long before I wrap this one up. I have a trip to Las Vegas coming up. I've studied up on my Blackjack game and will cram some more on the plane so I get my hits, splits, and surrenders down pat. I've had some good trips and I've had some bad trips, so it'll be interesting, if not fun, to see how I do this time around. Labels: Blackjack, Coding, Constellation, Las Vegas, Life, Projects |

Well, my decision to stop doing projects has lasted for almost a month now. I have absolutely no energy to get back into it again. I have played with Cent a bit, but for the most part gaming has taken up my free time. I like when I can relax. I'm sure I'll get back to working on the projects again sometime. But for now, I'm doing okay. |

More work! Posted: 11:40:00 PM 0 comments |
|
Does the catching up ever end? More questions than answers today, it seems. Despite doing extra work, I slacked again on the weekend and have forced myself into catchup mode. Right now, I'm an estimated 14 hours of work behind, with STILL most of it being in the Pwned Print category. There's no way in hell I'm getting that done by Australia like I had hoped. The good news is that the 14 hours are spread across 3 tasks, one of them being a 2 hour progress review, so I'm really hoping my time estimations are on the high side. What I am going to get done for sure is the roncli Productions website, with the official launch planned for Monday, June 26th. Backup and Due Process will be the site's first two offerings, with a new project, Sitemap Generator on the way. Yes, I decided to write my own, simply because I can't be bothered with adapting other people's ASP code into something that doesn't time out and kill my web server on my larger sites. In fact, that's going to be a primary feature of Sitemap Generator: you can run it on your own webserver and specify a delay between page reads so that it won't completely destroy your server. There are also plans to be able to include or exclude specific pages or directories, and I'm hoping I can manage to write a nice scheduler for it, complete with a little taskbar icon in the corner to be able to control the application. It should be a fairly complete application, and I plan for the free trial version to be able to index up to 100 pages, which is perfect for bloggers and smaller personal sites. I'm wondering how I'm going to be able to deal with ASP.Net pages, though, something I may challenge myself to accomplish should it come down to that. It should be a fun app to create. I've left both Saturday the 17th open (I leave around 7 PM) and Sunday the 25th open (We return Saturday). Hopefully I'll be able to dedicate some of that free time to projects. But for now, sleep.

Catching up is hard work Posted: 12:05:00 AM 0 comments |
|
Now playing: roncli, The Nightstalker - Awakening (5:01) I made the fatal mistake of not doing any projects this weekend - that's 12 blocks of 2 hours each that I had not completed. My reward for this was spending this entire week playing catch up. As of this writing, I am still behind an estimated 16 hours, most of it residing in the PwnedCars category, although I did catch up a good 6 hours on one task today, designing a form I thought was going to be hell to design in a relatively short amount of time. I also ran into a stumbling block when working on the roncli Productions forums, not being able to use the DataGrid at a rate of speed I'm accustomed to with classic ASP. But fortunately most of that is out of the way, the only things I am behind on is making a search page for the support section (I'm having an issue with Google AdSense for Search on that one) and forum subscriptions, which I'm not terribly looking forward to. The good news is that I went ahead and scheduled the rest of the week, leaving nothing but simple-to-accomplish tasks to do through Saturday. Hopefully this will string enough time together to get some of the major tasks I have out of the way. roncli Productions is almost done, although I am having trouble with the Backup software not deleting things again, so I may have to work on that before I officially open roncli Productions for business. Oh, and there's that PayPal thing I keep avoiding... OSMusic.Net has actually had some excellent progress on the minor changes I've been wanting to make, and hopefully completing the next big thing won't be too far behind. Finally, I am hoping to give Outpost Music the forums that have been largely absent for a couple of months now sometime early next week. Things are beginning to look up as various projects come to completion, and even though I am behind further than I'd like to be, progress is always a good thing, no matter how slow it may feel.

The Long Weekend Posted: 2:13:00 AM 0 comments |
|
Well, the long Memorial Day weekend has come to a close, and to be honest, I have amazed myself with how much I got done. I found the bug with Backup that causes it to run at 100% CPU until you kill it and squished it. That allowed me to repackage and finalize the MSI that will be distributed once roncli Productions comes online. I've also found the bug in Due Process that causes it to tell Windows it didn't startup properly when, in fact, it did. I still have one more feature I want to add to Due Process before I finalize its MSI, which is the ability to never allow a process to run (&%*#% ctfmon.exe!). That shouldn't take terribly long. On the website front, the forums are slowly moving along, I anticipate 12 hours worth of work remaining before they are online. However, once that's done, I have at least two sites I can port them to, including Outpost Music, something I plan on doing before I leave for vacation. The problem is that Pwned Print is slipping further than I had wanted it to. I've been quite ignoring this big 8 hour task for the simple fact that it's... well, 8 hours. And overdue. I want to sit down and at least start it at some point, maybe I'll do it tomorrow after work or something. Overall, I've managed to not slip further behind in my projects than I was a week ago this time, and I'm more optimistic than ever that I can follow these projects for some time to come.

So Much To Do Posted: 3:15:00 AM 0 comments |
|
I did some research as to where I stand for four other projects today... holy crap, do I have a lot to do on so many things. I'm trying to take it one project at a time. I see the light on Backup and Due Process, as all that needs to be done for them is to fix bugs and make the final package. But the roncli Productions website is just going to take forever. I got some good work done on the forums today, but I got a late start and didn't get as far as I had hoped. Most of that stems from the complexities that exist in my classic ASP forums code. Translating it over to ASP.Net 2.0 is going to be interesting. I also decided to add the bug fixes necessary for OSMusic.Net into the projects, and hopefully I'll slowly get to those. I'm surprised, after 5 months of nothingness, 8 songs have been added to the site within the past two weeks. I don't know if it's going to become a more active site as a result, but the activity is quite welcome. I took a good look at Outpost Music, and decided that, when the time comes, I'll simply copy the forum system from roncli Productions into Outpost. In the meantime, there's some additions I want to make to the site to make it more functional for me and the other members of the group. Finally, I looked at The Nightstalker page, where my music is supposed to go. I decided that I'm going to add all of my current releases there, and eventually I'll go back and add my old tracked releases as well. Maybe some day I'll convert them to Reason, but each song is a project in and of itself - I can see that taking years. There is no shortage of work for me to do, I have stuff planned out to July 1st, and some of that work is set aside to plan out future work. There's so much to do, and I wish I had more hours in the day to do it with. Labels: Backup, Coding, Due Process, OSMusic.Net, Outpost Music, Projects, roncli Productions, The Nightstalker |

A Day Off... Kind of Posted: 10:33:00 PM 0 comments |
|
I decided to take a bit of a day off in my catch up, doing only what was needed to complete today's tasks. Both of them involved working on the upcoming roncli Productions website, and both were completed sooner than expected. My body aches from tennis, although after only 3 times out I'm feeling a bit more athletic. Imagine. Me. Athletic. Heh. It almost turned out to be a day off at work. A power problem caused there to be no power at work when I arrived, so our computers and everything were off. We were contemplating what time to leave when the power came back on for good at about 10:30. Oh well. Labels: Coding, Projects, roncli Productions |

Still Catching Up Posted: 11:58:00 PM 0 comments |

After falling behind badly in the first week of my committment to do 2 projects a night, I feel I'm making a lot of progress. That's good, I didn't want to have to scrap the idea entirely and end up with nothing ever getting done. The progress for Pwned Print is finally coming along nicely with all but one of the 5 tasks I had scheduled for last week being finished. Yesterday, I cleaned up my desktop and my god does it look empty. But it looks really nice and gives me a lot of space to work with. I was able to review my progress on roncli Productions and scope out another week or two's worth of work in it. I've also been able to figure out what I need to do with Backup, and after this I'll probably do the same for Due Process. Tonight, after doing a little bit of Pwned Print, I finally sat down and figured out how to backup files in SQL Server 2005, and went a step further by scheduling monthly maintenance on the indexes and database size. Then I dove into Linux, compiled and installed BOINC, SETI@Home, and Einstein@Home (not in the plans, but remarkably easy to do), and wrestled with getting that to run. After a bit of a scare (yes, you CAN accidentally type in rm /*/*), everything was running smoothly. The three things from last week I still haven't done is correcting the NATd and IPFW configuration for Reborn, a single form for Pwned Print, and review what's left to do for Due Process, which I should get to before I head to bed. All in all, a pretty full Monday and Tuesday, and I'm finally making some real progress on these projects.

Catching Up Posted: 12:07:00 AM 0 comments |

Well, on Sunday I managed to finish up the stuff I was working on for the upcoming roncli Productions website. I had a few frustrations with ASP.Net again (as usual), but got by them after a while. I look forward to designing the rest of the sight. However, I got nothing else done on Sunday, as most of the day was dedicated to fixing my damn NAT. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, the ipfw.rules and natd.config look right, and most things work. However, I can't figure out how to open up ports like I was able to before I last formatted the machine. It will be an open issue for a while. In the meantime, today I got quite a bit done, including specing out the rest of what will be needed for roncli Productions. I will be, for the second time, writing forums in ASP.Net. This time I won't be building the HTML as I go, I'll actually be using the contrals as they were meant to be used. I also got two completed forms for Pwned Cars, speced out the rest of what's needed for Backup 2.0, and even got some time to play with BONIC on Linux, as I'm wanting to get SETI@Home running over there. What I had speced out to be 10 hours took me 4 at best. All this while spending an hour playing tennis after work... and man am I sore. Good thing it's time to sleep, I need it.

Not going well Posted: 1:35:00 PM 0 comments |

Seems the projects aren't going as well as planned. The messaging system in roncli Productions is nearly complete, though. I did finally get some time to work on that last night, despite wanting it done on Wednesday. However, it's not 100% complete. Further, I never got a chance to fix the NATd and IPFW support on Reborn, and absolutely no progress has been made on Pwned Cars. I also wanted to clean up my desktop and compile and install SETI@Home for both the Reborn and ModPlug servers so that could be running in its idle CPU time. I doubt I'll get to backing up the SQL Server on roncli.com any time soon. Fortunately, Sunday is a long day, and I've got a lot of time to do a lot of things, and I'm in a good working mood. Let's see what can get done! Labels: Coding, Projects, roncli Productions, SETI@Home |
