Where have I been doing lately?

6 08 2007

Let’s see.

Finally finished the version 2 of my website, Menace Studio  during this weekend– and finally was able to configure it to connect to the SQL Server of my host. The final layout should be as what it stands at the moment but I definitely will be adding more database functionalities as soon as I come with a new idea LOL. I feel like I just have a need to implement some type of ’saving/database’ functionalities into the new version 2, because for one, it’s using ASP.NET. I like a more dynamic feel since it requires complexity and aside from that, code it from scratch since I insist on using a pre-made CMS like others. It demeans my pride and they’re also not very customizable to the t–and such thing as having no total control is just not my thing.

The next thing that I will implement is to save the guest book sign-ins into a CSV file aside from being stored in a database. It will just take the information from the input textboxes and somehow append it into an existing CSV file (if existing) and separated by commas. That file then can be read from excel or whatever CSV viewer a user is using–in this case, I will be the only one using it. Sounds like an overkill? Well for one, I’ve never done such thing and therefore I will need to do some further research on the subject. And second, if ever I will need to do such functionalities for work or for any future project, I’ll be ready to do the task. I know that these little time-consuming sacrifices will pay off and benefit me in the future. And besides, I love working on my site regardless of how much time I put into it. I see it as a invaluable possession and cognitive asset.

And yea, I’m almost done with painting my living room, which I also enjoy by the way. I just need to get it done though before the school starts. Within next week or so, just touch it up and add a spot light to replace the current light on my ceiling. That shouldn’t be too bad, I hope.
