Talcum you work at the SRC?

I got half the files I need from pH, the other half should come tonight.

Well the other half of the data was corrupt, so I need him to re-zip and re-upload again...

Sooner or later I will get the stuff! I know it, I can feel it ...

Anyway attached is a current pic. The blogs and the site news are going to look a bit different mainly because the site news will also show cooling news coming up, and also the blogs may display only the newest post per user.

Work is such a strong word....
 

I sit in attendance here - work is SO over rated.

I will probably never have a "real job"

I am state "worker" myself ;)

pH, enough with the negative vibes...
 

Reality is also over rated....

I found out some stuff tonight when working with the old site data that pH gave me today.

And that is: I cant really move forward unless I get the back end for the online article posting portion done. So this is going to delay me getting the site updated probably a week or two.

But its ok, the longer it takes the more bells and whistles will be online when it does come online ;) infact in 2 weeks I may have the Reader workBlogs ready to go also, since some of the back end uses the same stuff.

Good progress was made this weekend, I am pretty much short cutting the back end design just to get the site up, and I can refine the back end as I get more time to develop it. (as most people who write website stuff know the administrative side is normally more complex than the user side, and this site is no different.)

I am getting close to the point where I could get the site up by next weekend.

Woot!

Joe I have a couple reviews I can hammer out too for when the new site goes live. I assume there'll be a way to preview/edit them for staff prior to the actual public viewing? We can test the site out with the reviews already written then I guess?

Hmm that portion of the site is still a bit off (prolly 3 or 4 weeks maybe less), I am just trying to get the site up with the legacy articles for now, then concentrate on getting the new article posting system up. I have the database structure in place for it, I just need to get the back and front end up and running and figure out how I want to use the vbb system in that mix.

hmm I may do a few head down and write code all night sessions to see how far I can get on stuff, it would be nice to get that system in place sooner than later.

whew
for just a second there I thought a review was going up

We will turn on the warning sirens well in advance of such

Really this is the first real change for ProCooling in 6 years. It hasnt changed much since it came online back in December 1999. So This is a big thing and I want to make sure I get it right when it goes online ;) I am taking my time on some areas to make sure it looks/works as I wanted it to, and thats slowing stuff down a bit on my end here. Sooner or later we will have this thing up hehe ;)

Hey Joe is there space on the new site for a Pro/Testing banner or link or something?

Yep, in IRC tonight let me know more details about what you want it to link to and such.

Gahh.. I just realized a big issue with the legacy pages... looks like I will need to get them into the DB afterall.. time for some fun code work ;)

I didnt get shit done this week, either I was at work late working or working from home on some new issues at work.,..

But this weekend I am making some progress...

Hey Joe,

since you are tweaking things for eventual change, I thought I'd chime in with my biggest gripe about the forums.

The search function requires part of the user name, and won't take wildcards. I know you've got a nice new post query, but sometimes like a dumbshit I close the browser window or hit the back button too many times. It would be nice if I could just do a search for all posts in the past x days.

Progress report Joe? For my part, I mostly plumbed a test loop sans dP xmitter, and otherwise haven't done jack

I pretty much found out I am broke. The money I thought I would be making on this new job just isn't there. I guess employers have to do a PR job to hire new people aswell.....

So all I am doing this weekend is rebuilding my test bench with what I have and going to have to call it good for now. The only thing I will try to buy soon is a dP transmitter if I can find one cheap (as in dirt) on ebay.

~ $25 - 40 + shipping
I'll e-mail you next time I see one
I guess pH also as his seems inop

That would be good.

I am plugging along, doing more reading than coding though trying to learn some new ways to do things. But I have also been a lazy ass and been distracted with some R/C stuff this week. (actually more distraced, selling lots of my R/C stuff to pay for real car stuff.)
