So people think I\'m skinny Friday July 25th 2008 01:20:16 CDT
challgren	So since I've been out of the game for the month of June after my TIA. People are saying man you lost alot of weight. I still weight the same from when I was in the hospital. I don't know where people are getting the idea but it could be the fact I have been playing the drums alot more which has been some good exercise for me.

challgren	This site is now using SVN for version control to help prevent me from deleting stupid files and having to recreate them.

Ok site is fixed somewhat Monday May 26th 2008 06:36:48 CDT
challgren	Ok so the past 4 days have been a coding frenzy. I ended up deleting a couple files on my site. One was for the editprofile for users. Then I started working on a patch for eTicket. The patch was to move from an old method of storing settings to a newer method. There's some other details I won't go into. But pretty much I had to write the patch twice. While using PHPed I ended up uploading the eticket project to my main site and deleting the index page and the rss feed generator. So I learned about the value of backups. And because of that I setup my fileserver at home to accept FTP connections from the server so I can keep backups of all the sites on it. So just now I finished regenerating the index page and rss generator. So now I can sleep well tonight.

Finished category support Saturday May 17th 2008 02:04:07 CDT
challgren	So category support is finished. You can view entries by category. I also optimized some of the back end code and reduce some files sizes. I found out that I was duplicating a lot of code so I elimitated it and made functions for retrieving icons and tag for entries. The site is coming along. I plan on making the pages bio, contact, wishlist, programs, and hardware all database driven instead of being stored in files.

New feature added to my blog Friday May 16th 2008 19:52:15 CDT
challgren	Just added a new feature to my blog. I add support for tagging entries with a category. The code you can't see because it is part of posting entries. But the code uses a bit of AJAX borrowed from Yahoo. It allows me to tag the entry and pull up previous tags I've used. It's really cool.

Update on my life Sunday May 11th 2008 23:23:03 CDT
challgren	So I figured I would update on the past week. So Monday, I was experiencing some visual disturbances in my left field of vision. I was sitting watching TV eating Chicken Tenders. I called the IL Eye Bank and spoke with my friend over there. Her husband told me to go to an ophthalmologist because I was only seeing a tiny spot in my field of vision. It progressively got worse. I was on the phone with an ophthalmologist and he told me to go to the ER. So I called over to the immediate care center and they told me to go to the ER. So I ended up doing what the typical health care provider does and drove myself to the ER. When I got there I was almost immediately seen.

Accused music pirate turns the tables on the RIAA Friday May 2nd 2008 00:36:22 CDT
challgren	Check out Accused music pirate turns the tables on the RIAA on my favorite site Geeks are Sexy. Finally someone turns the tables and sues these fucks. I personally refused to purchase any music or even download it. The only music I download is from Dance Factory and the money you spend goes straight to the artists.
