Upcoming Project - StargateGamer.com

Posted January 19, 2008 0 Comments

Just wrapped up a new domain for the upcoming release of Stargate Worlds, a MMORPG based in the worlds of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Look for StargateGamer in the upcoming month or two for a launch to make sure it’s out well before the game is due to give fans a place to discuss and read up to date news on the release of this sure to be a hit among nerds MMO!!

Look for a blog, forums, and tons of cool jQuery implementations into this potential free-for all site that will let me do what I want in implementing features that I think all Stargate fans will enjoy!

This game has the potential to get me to cancel my World of Warcraft subscription…

Upcoming Projects & Work…

Posted January 18, 2008 0 Comments

Well, as I get ready to head back home in the next few days hopefully, I’ve been looking over some things that will need to be done and trying to prioritize what I have left to do on a few projects, and how to tackle those when I get back to get back in the routine.

First, the most important item I have on the table is the completion of the Drupal project Poodle Breeder Source. It’s a great site, and almost ready to go, I just need to finalize the ecommerce installation again, and work on some of the copy for generic pages, along with touching up the admin panel that advertising/posting users will have the ability to access for usability purposes.

Second, I need to upgrade this site to the latest version of wordpress… should be easy money there.

Third, I need to complete the copy and such for the Himerus Inc. The layout is done, and except for a few issues in IE7 with the jQuery scrollbars,  it really just needs the appropriate information incorporated into the pages that have been created so far. This will be the first implementation of my own custom CMS that will greatly speed up putting out quality, easy to manage sites.

Fourth, It’ll be time to rework the Himpressive theme, and get that set up to work with Wordpress 2.3 and have it installed on the site. I’m really excited about that one, the way it’s going to be set up, It could definitely be a popular theme that gets used quite a bit, and will be my first release of a fully functional Wordpress theme. Included with that will be a few plugins that help some of the functionality that will be implied on the theme. There will be a very slick jQuery calendar that should be eaten up by the community even without using the theme.

So, putting it lightly, I have a lot of work to accomplish, and want to be able to get most of this lined out as quickly as possible once I get back home. Once I get in the swing of these projects, I will probably be able to start posting up some jQuery tutorials and different modifications to Drupal and Wordpress that I can’t live without.

Look for more to come soon!!

Final Dallas Cowboys note for the season…

Posted January 17, 2008 0 Comments

I’ve failed to keep up on my Dallas Cowboys this season for fear my cowboy’s blogging would somehow jinx their chances for a successful season.

However, even on my hiatus down to TX to help settle the affairs of my grandfather, I was able to catch the last 3 quarters of the Cowboys/Giants game. I was ready to cry once the fourth quarter came around and the Cowboys couldn’t seem to get it together. Even after two wins against New York during the regular season…

So I’m forced to listed to the continued nagging from friends regarding the Cowboys. (they are just jealous their NFL teams have never won 5 Super Bowls and probably never will)

I can only hope now with two seasons behind T.O., and the first full season behind Tony Romo, and with both Marion Barber and Julius Jones starting to work very well in a rotation, I have to feel that next year will be our year.

And the fact that they’ve lost now gives me the opporitunity to pull for Green Bay. I mean, after all Brett Farve’s sub-par seasons, who can wish poor on him??? He really deserves to pull of this miracle and get a ring for his team… but on the other hand, it seems like the Patriots are truly on the way to a remarkable season, and a once in a lifetime chance to go 19-0 straight to a Super Bowl win. If it comes to Pats/Packers in the big game, you can bet I’ll be pulling strong for my NFC side all day long, but wont be too disappointed even if the Patriots pull it off…

Rough couple of weeks…

Posted January 17, 2008 0 Comments

Well, It’s been a rough couple of weeks to say the least.

I’m back in the heartland for the time being & had to bury my grandfather this week who was always like a father to me. Now it’s down to packing up belongings, and securing the house he lived in for the past 20+ years with my grandmother who is in the severe stages of Alzheimer’s.

Kinda hard being here without him around sitting at the bar smoking his cigarettes barking orders.

I hope to be back home in the next week at some point, and back on track. My first order of business is finishing up some final details regarding the ecommerce features for poodlebreedersource.com and getting it lined out for an immediate launch. It needs some upgraded jQuery features in the backend, and to have some final layout/presentation issues resolved, and it’ll be ready for launch.

After that, it’ll be the new corporate site for himerusinc.com. I was having some DNS issues with the site this morning. I don’t know how long those have been going on, but all the other sites on server have been working just fine. And I think it’s fixed now, but my stupid Sprint card is caching the site, and so I can’t see for sure that it’s working yet or now…. (fingers crossed)

Anyway, I hope to be back, and active in the next week or so once I have all the family stuff taken care of down here… see ya’ soon!!!
