ThinkSoJoE's Thoughts

I got a new job.  I don't think I've made any secret about that.  I have not, however, mentioned that I am so not used to overnights anymore.  This job is going to kick my ass.  Quite frankly, I want out of the hotel business, and I want out soon.  Fuck it, I'm going to bed.  Good night everybody!

If so, we're finally re-launched here at ThinkSoJoE's Thoughts!  It took a while, and I haven't gotten everything I wanted to implement into the design (I'm still trying to get this Trackback thing figured out), but I think we're at a point here where everything is perfectly acceptable for a live site.

Please comment on this post if you find any bugs in the site.  Thanks!

I'm actually almost done with the redesign project.  I just have to get the pages (about, gallery, gear, and projects) finished up.  Not exactly sure how I'm going to do it, but I'll get it done.

I've actually done a lot of stuff over the last few days that I hadn't done before - I created a working RSS feed and a working RSS agregator.  I've even managed to get one of those lightbox things to work on one of my sites without the aid of a CMS.  I'm almost done, though I'm still hesitant to set a launch date.  I just got a new job, and I'm not sure when I'll be starting, so I don't know for sure when I'll be able to get a lot of work done.

I've gotten a great deal of functionality implemented in the redesign, and since it's being done from scratch, I can always add more.  I'll keep you guys updated as I get closer to launch.

I’ve done immersive PHP/MySQL projects before, but this is definitely the most in depth that I’ve gone.  I have an admin panel where I can control every single aspect of the site, at least the aspects that I control on a regular basis here.  There’s a couple of more functions I need to implement, but the project is coming along nicely.

Some of the permalinks are probably going to be changing around here.

I’ve been extremely bored sitting around my house in between job interviews and applications, so I started designing a new blog from scratch.  That’s right, no WordPress, no e107, not even CodeIgniter.  Purely hand coded with PHP and MySQL.  I know this isn’t the first time I’ve said I’m redesigning the site, but I’m actually half finished this time.  I need to code the admin section and finish building the user management system.  Then I need to finish the design and the menus.  Don’t really expect a drastic change on the front end, I’m keeping the same color scheme and a similar layout.  You will notice the difference, but I think you’ll all like it.

Expect launch in a few weeks.  I’m hesitant to set an official date, because you never know if I’m going to find a new job anytime soon.
