So I have neglected entering anything in this for a while, I am going to hide behind the fact that I hate trying to post to this over our crappy wireless at home, but that is only an okay excuse at best. I have been working the past two weeks (and two days now) doing JavaScript development for my company’s advanced interface. It is a web interface for a browser dependent attachment to our IP and Analog camera server software. I have been using the JQuery library (which I hope to later advance into this site more) and also designing the API for the JavaScript end using raw JavaScript. It has been a productive two weeks, but I am now in the period of complete overhaul, as I was beginning to realize how convoluted the “hack a feature on” strategy was making the code. I want to be able to use the code for other development off of this platform more, so hopefully this overhaul will be fruitful. I am about 50% through the overhaul, as I had to spend the past two work days installing a new OS on my computer because Vista took a crap. Hopefully this will be getting updated more, I plan on updating it more when I eventually get around to moving.
I am in the midst of pricing and contemplating buying a new computer. I would like to turn this older desktop (not too old) into a Linux machine that I can use for development, while also being able to use Windows and learn to develop on it too (since I am so unexperienced with it, as I learned this past week trying to develop in Vista). I then can use the Linux machine as my web server rather than the very old and very slow ClarkConnect box I am using now. The new computer will have an i7 CPU, because the architecture is just too good, that uses DDR3 RAM. I am still deciding on the Motherboard and the quantity of RAM, so I shall see.
I had to get a new phone plan as my family was moving on to bigger and better things (aka Verizon). I wanted a smartphone and based on the plans, available models, and networks available, I concluded on AT&T (it hasn’t really disappointed me yet) and have an iPhone (sadly I got it before the price cut, so I paid $100 too much). It is actually a very polished device, but I hopefully plan on moving to an Android phone in a few months, whenever AT&T gets a model and it seems polished enough. I think they are going to have one of the new “Rosie” UIs from HTC for theirs (Google it, its beautiful).
I will probably post again in the coming week to add more of the going-ons of my life. Don’t worry I am still sort of alive.
