I need a name…

For an application that I’m creating with a couple of guys from work. It’s going to be a help desk application geared for the IT world, but hopefully flexible enough to be used in other industries that would need software of that type. I’d like to avoid both the words “help” and “desk”, unless they can be cleverly used in some kind of acronym. In case you care, the software will be web-based, open source, built with php, mysql, javascript, xhtml, css, xml and probably somewhat awesome. If anyone would like to help, just let me know; none of those involved so far are expert programmers, web designers, graphical artists, or documentation writers, so we are not looking for someone with “mad skillz”, just people who would like to help out and have fun. More on this, some other time.

This, in a way, is me making up for not being able to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. I have also resolved to do some planning, brainstorming and outlining for a new novel that I hope to actually write at some point in my lifetime–that time is not now. So, instead of writing 1,667 words every day this month, I will spend at least thirty minutes drafting a new story. Yes, you should expect awesomeness.

I played Guitar Hero III today for the Wii, and I now have to have it, as well as my own Wii with which to play it on.

It’s late (early), and I’m not tired

I just installed the Firefox 2.0 RC1 build and so far, I’m loving it. You can try it out for yourself here -> http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/all-rc.html

In other software news, iTunes is really starting to piss me….HOLY $#%@ THE NEW FIREFOX UNDERLINED iTUNES BECAUSE IT HAS A BUILT IN SPELL CHECKER NOW AND DOESN’T RECOGNIZE IT!!!

Ahem…yeah, seriously thinking about going back to Winamp. iHave nothing but contempt right now for iTunes.

This WordPress theme is effen nutz, and I’m seriously thinking about switching to it. Vistered Little.

I have created a tutorial for installing XAMPP and WordPress on your local compys. You can find it here.

I’m planning a (n ill-fated) LAN Party. You can find the planning forums here:

Is that the default installation of phpbb you ask?

Yes, yes it is, and all the other themes look gross to me.

Why can’t I look at the contents you ask?

Because you have to register in order to.

Why you might ask?

Because that’s the way I wanted it, and I am teh admin.

I guess this site has a use now, albeit a temporary one.

Nothing else is really that exciting. I just finished reading a third book on writing fiction. Here’s hoping that I enjoy writing it as much as reading about it.

PHP is still taunting me.

So…
