Our weekend

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Margret and I went to Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom this weekend and had a blast riding all the rides and seeing the the attractions. It was really fun eating cotton candy again and walking around meeting all the wonderful people out at the theme park. The weather was weather and the drive only took a couple of hours, which went by real quick sinse we brought along our favorite CDs for the trip.

Tammys idea

Friday, April 13th, 2007

My co worker Tammy had a great idea about a steam cleaner that would allow the user of the machine to click a button once, then click it again to release it, and it would allow the vaccum to start to suck. Because in all the current models out today, you have to hold down the button to release water and that can hurt your thumb after a few minutes. Plus 70% of the time you’re putting water down on the carpet and the other 25% sucking it up, so to me this is a no brainer. Of course we will never patent this idea, but would love it if one the the steam cleaning companies out there put it on their next generation of steam cleaning machines.

Worpal

Friday, April 13th, 2007

Getting together with a few friends launching a joint venture project code named Worpal which will be a half Wordpress and a half Drupal opensource project. Without the www. will be the worpdress blogs and the Drupal blogs will be with the www. so for example a a Wordpress blog will be located at wordpress.worpal.com and a drupal blog will be at www.worpal.com/drupal.

We have been scratching our heads on the best way to get this project done and have been going to some local PHP user groups here in town to learn more about PHPs and have logged into Googles webmaster counsel, only to be more confused since it lets you choose only one way for Google to look at your website (either with or without the www). And this is just the beginning it only gets more complicated as both open source projects are at their infancy compared to where they will be in 10 years or 20.
