Website

New Site Design

So I have been slaving away trying to make a new design for this wonderful website. I wanted something fresh, simple and clean to replace my copied site. Also I am a huge fan of dark colors with bright highlights. I think this is perfect, well almost perfect, for me. It is still being tweaked but its almost there. Here is a preview of what the site will look like.

Edit: Link gone because it is done.

As usual the whole page is written in PHP, XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.1 with some images made using Photoshop. I made everything larger than it needs to be for expansion. So even though my header is only 200px high, the image file is 400px high. Same with the Footer. This is all so that if I need to change the amount of text in the section, than I can just edit the CSS file to make it larger. Simple as that. Also I made a file for the content part of page so that when content is added, a small 5px high file that repeats untill the element ends. This makes a continuous edge shadow along the full page.

Well soon I hope to get this all up and running on the site.

Changing Site

I have been getting bored with my current website design and have been wanting something different. Well, I finally started to build one. If you want to watch the progress, go to:

Edit: Link bad and it is complete anyway (if you couldn’t tell already).

VWVortex Helps Again

Again this site helps me. The site VWVortex Forums has a nice section for buying and selling all things VW. This is where I managed to sell quite a few items that I had lying around for extra money. One thing I ended up buying was a full used struts, shocks and springs set for my Jetta which I am still trying to have someone help me install them. Now I have my sights on a used column pod with VDO boost gauge for $60. Now all I need to do is sell a few more things and I could get it.

Oh Phooy

So I tried to post a post while I was at Dave and Busters, well at this hour, last night. It turns out that I had a small problem with uploads since it had pictures in it and I don’t think that having a Beta program to blog to is helping.

Well not completely new but now at a new home. I recently switched it to Bluehost.com. So far it is running much better on here than the other host. We will see if i actually post on here.

Busy, Busy, Busy and Such

So as you can tell, I have been quite the busy bee. I have not had the time to post in quite awhile. Currently, Biggs, Ialacci and I have been trying to get a small bidness running. (Ialacci calls Business Bidness for no real reason. I think it is more that he can not spell it.) Anyway, it’s been that, school, work, and just random other adventures in my life holding me back from posting on this site. So here is my almost month old update post.

Thursday, me and Ialacci went to check out a “Virtual Office” off Motor Pkwy and the east bound service road off the LIE. When we first walked into the building, I swear that we both almost, well, I think you get the idea. The whole place was completely new; it was only built like 4 months ago. If you look on google maps, its still under construction. But hey, most places close by are like that. If you look at Island 16 off Nicoles Rd and exit 62 off the LIE, half of the movie theater is under construction and the other half is done. That place has been there for quite a while now. Like a good 6 years or so. Well anyway, this place we found is completely amazing. It comes with everything we would ever need plus the whole building is completely biometric. I can go on for hours about the features and amazingness of the place but I have much more to talk about.

I am still using Windows 7, build 7057, on my laptop and boy, is it amazing. I have to admit, I hate Windows and this is the first Microsoft product that I actually like, a lot! It has a quality feel to everything it does and it runs much faster than Vista ever will. There are still a bunch of bugs that need to get worked out and driver support is still not up to par but what do you expect to a beta product. I think I will actually buy a license for this when it gets released.

I am again working on a new server. In the past 3 weeks, I actually already have rebuilt my server. Right now it has a E6600 Core 2 Duo with 8GB DDR1066. I thought it was complete overkill and using to much power for what it is doing. So I went Newegging. I bought a Jetway ITX socket AM2 board with a AMD Athlon x2 4050e 2.1GHz and 4GB DDR800 Ram. I figure that I will only be using about 60-70 watts average. I am mostly doing this to save space and make my mom happy with the power bill. I got all the parts except the board so I really can’t do anything about it right this second. The one thing I am doing is changing my Drobo from HFS+ to ext3 so I can use it on my server instead of having it on my iMac. I figure that it would be better since it will always be shared over the network and I don’t need to worry about my iMac having to be running. As an added bonus, I also bought 2 more 1.5TB drives for the Drobo for a total of 4.5TB. I mean I do actually need it. Right now I am currently using over a TB and I still have about 200GB more to move on to it. Ill give you updates on how that is going when I get to it.

My mom is selling the family camper. It is sort of sad to see it go. I did not really spend much time in it since we are always busy doing something. One person is doing that when this person is off and vice versa. My mom needs the money so I do understand it but it is still the point. My mom just a few days before said that she would like to take it to Massachusetts for a weekend or so. I am all up for it since I like driving around with the car and such but hey, its not my disission.

Also, I got my new sneakers for my Bora. I don’t know if I have already posted a picture of it on here yet but I might as well do that now. I have had them on it for a few months already.

 Bora Front Bora Rear

Also, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out why my blog page is unhappy near the bottom of the page. If you look, the background is all not right and the sheets overlap and underlap. If you can, it would be great.

Another Site

I started work on another web page for a new endeavor that Biggs, Ialacci, Krass, and I are working on. We are working on setting up a new computer repair business. Biggs is the one that came up with the plan but we are still deciding on basically everything. Anyway, so far I started a template for the web site for the business located at http://BanksHouse.org/Test. It is all written in PHP (as usual) but I started to try to learn something new.

What I did was setup the title tag for each page to use a the file name to write the correct title to the page.

Download it by right clicking and save as: title.php

That’s what I have now but I would like to clean up the code a bit but I don’t know what to do. If you know, please comment with a way to fix it.

I’m Going Mobile!

Today I started working on my mobile site. So far nothing works quite right but I only started today. If you want to check it out the address is http://m.bankshouse.org. If you have a cell phone with web access, really, check it out. I made this for mostly Blackberry’s because everyone I know has one, or soon to be getting one. It is going to be build using PHP and CSS, that’s if I could actually get the CSS to cooperate.

PHP and JavaScript Fo’ Shizzle

Something new for me to work on. Yesterday I went to Borders and bought a few books. Well I am hoping that you can figure it out using the title of this post.

  • JavaScript in 24 Hours – ISBN: 0-672-32879-8
  • PHP in 24 Hours – ISBN: 0-672-32619-1
  • Urban Dictionary – ISBN: 0-7407-5143-3
  • Mo’ Urban Dictionary – ISBN: 0-7407-6875-1

So, to start the story about how I ended up with the books, last night me, Biggs, Forty, Nicole and her sister Kristin all went to The Witches Brew. That is an awesome NY coffee house in West Hempstead that I would recommend to anyone. Well on my way there I happened to read a few lines on UrbanDictionary only to laugh my ass off with some of the definitions so I see on the website that they have a book for it. So while I was at Borders, I found them and two other books for web page scripting and well, bought them. Nothing unusual for me. My advice is to definitely go out and pick them up. I brought them into the Witches Brew last night and well, lets just say I did not get the chance to deflower them.

Also just to let you know, I have been working on a post for the last few days so its not like I am not trying to post anything. Its just taking me quite a bit of time to actually post since how busy I have been. Till then, which should be soon, check out that book. You will LMFO fo’ Shizzle
