Lunar Eclipse

Posted on February 20th, 2008 at 2:44 AM

So there's going to be a total lunar eclipse tonight, anybody else excited?

Just go outside and look up around 9:51 PM or so to see it all go down (Central Time). Apparently, this will be the last complete one until December 21, 2010... which is a year and a half after I graduate. I wonder what the hell I'll be up to?

Facebook RSS?

Seems like Facebook might be able to automatically import my blog via an RSS feed. Let's see if it works...

Feature List

Posted on February 19th, 2008 at 1:04 AM

This is mainly for myself, so I can set some real goals for getting this site working, and watch my progress as I get more things finished. Here is a list of what I've done, and what I have left to do

Features Completed

Everything I've done so far:

  • Blog
    • PHP front end
    • Admin back end for posts and comments
    • Comments
    • Automated email notifications when somebody leaves a comment
    • Sidebar listing
  • Contact information
  • "Green Leaf" CSS design and layout

Features To Implement

What I still want to do:

  • Blog
    • Multiple pages (only shows first 5 currently)
    • Archive browsing/listing
    • More WYSIWYG post editor (instead of plain HTML)
    • Tag system (search, browse, etc
  • Music section
    • PHP front end
    • Admin back end
    • Flash player for MP3s
    • Sidebar listing
  • RSS feed generation
  • Cleaner CSS and better semantic HTML layout
  • Remember site visitor's info for comments
  • User login for viewing private/friends posts
  • Add more content
    • About section
    • Biography section
    • School section, with project/source code info and schedule

What Now??

It looks like I have a lot left... because I do. I'm sure it will take a while because of 1) school and 2) more fun things than writing web apps, but since I'm writing the back end as I go, at least content will keep coming in as the site starts to support it.

We'll see how this goes!!
