The "Picture of the Now" is a picture taken by my webcam every 5 minutes automatically. Most of the time I look like this:
but sometimes I look like this:
And sometimes I won't even be there at all! That's about it. But on occasion I will be playing Team Fortress 2, and I may move the camera so you guys can see the screen. Sometimes I will point the camera to something more cool to look at. If you catch something weird, save it and send it to me, and I'll post it up here or something. I'm going to try my hardest not to pick my nose.
So I have been coding the new blog system because Cutenews (the content management system this blog is currently running on) sucks. I don't know why, but I don't like it. So I am making my own.
Will I release it to the public in some kind of light weight package for aspiring web developers to easily put together a useful content management system for their website, helping thousands of people and earning myself fame at the same time?
Of course not. Unless people want their blog to be held together with a bunch of paperclips and rubber bands.
Recently the forum and the user system have been acting up due to server-side problems. Somehow Godaddy changed some settings relevant to PHP which broke my code, leading the denied access to the user system which means a non-functional forum. I fixed the problem by, for the most part, recoding the entire user system and the forum. The interface is the same, but the back is not. While I was at it I went ahead and did some house cleaning and added some features. The house cleaning part fixed many problems which didn’t even exist yet; if they were neglected they could have lead to some problems down the road.
The original user system and forum was coded about a year and a half ago. Since then I have learned a ton more about proper PHP practices. I went ahead and implemented my new knowledge and got rid of the old, bloated code. I have set the stage and prepared the code for new features, such as
- A Banhamer
- Avatars
- Signatures
- Point Exchange system
- Captcha System
- More Secure Backend
- Ability to buy more things, such as custom color for your username in the forum
There is more to come! Check out the Forums and be sure to register!
Check the projects page for the full list of features and progress on these certain features.
Update:Just added adsense integration to the site, right over there, it's pretty hard to miss :).
Update: right now I am working on coding a new blog system thing which piggybacks ontop of the flashanims user system...I am done with cutenews...It should be up in a little bit. You'll notice when it is.
