GITI v2 Becoming Functional, Kinda

Today I for some reason decided I wanted to work on GITI v2 (maybe because I would like to use it in about 11 days), and I think I’ve finally decided upon a functionality. I am discovering tonight that I have learned a lot since GITI’s original creation, this includes about PHP, my usage and […]

Belonging to a Community

As we go through life we all associate ourselves with different communities, usually based on work or study. Since the wide adoption of the Internet as an acceptable place for communities to form, they have. What is funny is that the actual community-based websites, such as Yahoo groups, MSN Communities, and private mailing lists are […]

Matters of Space

1. Tenth Planet – Xena was discovered in 2003 as 2003UB313, but early this year it was given further consideration, possibly enough to give it status of “planet belonging to the solar system of the star known as sun”. I’ve read a lot of articles from places near and far on the topic (thanks to […]

If Chris can use lyrics to convey his moods in his blog, I can too, my current mood: Rush – Time Stand Still. I turn my back to the wind To catch my breath, Before I start off again Driven on, Without a moment to spend To pass an evening With a drink and a […]

Back to School

It would appear that with just 22 days remaining, the fall semester is quickly approaching and my summer is about to end. I haven’t completed as many of my summer objectives as I would have liked to this year. I have several titles still on my summer reading list left that I would love to […]

GITI Technical Update

My pet project GITI is back under the knife again, but I haven’t really let anyone in on the details of whats been happening, so here we go: 1. GITI now has the capacity to facilitate 1-way invitations to schedule events. I hope to add an outside functionality for people who know me to be […]
