Rebuild

2012-10-31

Been jotting down some ideas and now I have almost got an old laptop to the point where I can work whenever or where ever I want, so I should start to be re-coding this site in a couple of days.

Ouch

Well I jumped the gun on my ankle it's still healing after all this time. Ankles apparently take much longer to heal then I knew.

Seems like my ankle is 99% healed at this point. Was able to walk around all day today without any swelling or discomfort. Work is going to be a little busy over the next two weeks, and then I have a vacation lined up so going to be an interesting couple of weeks. In other news I've had time to working on a laptop that I salvaged from my Aunt. Not the a top notch piece of equipment but doing what I can with it. The battery is worthless so just removed it for now. Going to have to replace it for about 100$. The vent where the cooling fan is seems like it gets excessively hot, I've never really had a laptop before but seems like I might have to replace the cooling fan, looks like it may run about 12$. The Toshiba modified WinXP OS had some issues with it, so I replaced with Ubuntu. First time actually using the OS, aside from some playing around with LiveCD's in the past. So far, so good! Still learning how to fully use it, but pretty cool so far. I need to find my old Linux book to start remembering what the console commands are, some sites are just like "type this in to fix it" and even though it works so far, I don't like entering commands that I don't have a 100% understanding of. Really hope I can fiddle around enough to get at least an average understanding of the OS.

Ouch

Well I sprained my ankle Tuesday playing soccer, so I'm just kind of limping around, trying to lay down as much as possible when not at work. Took some more notes on how I want to revamp certain sections of the website. Started looking at MVC for PHP on last weekend, going to have to take another look at. On the plus side I've been starting to use MVC for ASP.NET at work so that should help me a bit in the learning. Wondering if I should get second web host that supports ASP.NET, it would be nice to have the option to code my site in whatever I'm doing my job in. Kind of like a double work whammy! Ah well, anyways I'm going to get back to icing and resting my ankle.

Can't really decide how I want to approach this. I've just started to read up on MVC, wondering if I want to try to implement that within my rebuild. I definitely have learned a lot and want to implement some ideas I've come up with from projects I've worked on.
