I always get a little bit nostalgic this time of year. It always seems to be the perfect time to reflect because this particular season of the year is so unique in different ways. Individuals from many different backgrounds and beliefs unite on the belief that this is a season defined by joy, charity, and love. It penetrates wherever you are, and whatever you’re doing. If it hasn’t done that for you yet, I certainly hope it does soon.
Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!
Yes, you're seeing that correctly. That's an old school car with a jet engine mounted in the trunk, dubbed the "Hemi Jet" (WIRED)
Someone once asked me, “Why do we bother driving hybrids?” My answer today would be, “So we don’t have to feel so guilty about enjoying this guy offset all the gas savings over the last 10 years in 10 seconds.” See the full story at WIRED.
So, I decided that it would be wise to post an update to follow up the previous post about my MVC. I’ve taken most of the last several weeks to dedicate time to my school work, which is now complete. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much luck pulling in contracts because all potential clients seem to all be strapped for cash. I understand, that’s just how it goes in a recession.
But, hopefully I’ll be able to start building a client base over this next school year? Perhaps.
Anyway, the MVC project has been on hold for the most part since my last post. Currently, the controller and view portions are working perfectly. Now, what is left is to flesh out the Model code, which has been giving me a little bit of trouble. Part of the problem originated from the fact that I used functions that only exist in PHP 5.3.0, whereas most everyone (including myself) is using 5.2.8 or 5.2.9. So, some of my code had to be rewritten. My current challenge centers around getting the Model to run searches of the databases on a where clause. From what I can tell, the Model generates a valid query – but the query results are not actually getting passed back to the controller for some reason. Things press on.
I’m developing the MVC alongside the new OSAN project for Leadership Macon. Why, might you ask? The OSAN project embodies some of the most difficult database concepts in order to do what Leadership Macon needs done. It has relational data out the wazoo. So, if it works with OSAN, the MVC should be able to scale to virtually anything without much trouble.
I hope to be back underway on both projects soon, but that’s my update for now. Peace.
So I’m still not sure what was causing the problems at ASO, but I think that it’s time to move to another host again. If I’m as good at this as I think I’ve gotten, then you should notice no downtime. In fact, if you’re seeing this now then you’re viewing the copy of my site on the new page! More content coming soon.

Greetings. This post is to make everyone aware of a data center issue that has been going on for the past few days with regard to my web host. The effect of the issues has caused my page to intermittently fail to load for many users. I have been in contact with my web host about this problem, so hopefully someone at the data center will fix it up soon. Bear with me guys! I’m crossing my fingers to have this fixed, too.
It’s been painful to be forced to configure my WordPress installation with such a shoddy connection, but it’s only from locations that run through a specific GNAX router in Atlanta. All other traffic is just fine. I hope to have things up to par soon.
Greetings, and welcome to my newly redesigned and organized site. Now powered by WordPress!
I’m looking forward to providing you with all your web development needs. I’m continuing to get my portfolio completed and get a detailed outline of what I’ve done so far. More coming soon!
