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.

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.

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.
