Alrighty, I'm super stoaked, I got 16 months of netflix (3 DVD Unlimited) for $100 :) If anyone wants a couple months let me know and I'll sell them to you for like 20 bucks or something? Anyway netflix is
great, and I've ordered a few movies already. I'll update you on some of the awesome things about netflix. It's late, and I'm going to sleep...
Finally this beast is all killed and cooked up. It took a lot of time due to Christian finishing up school, me starting work, and finishing school; but it's finally done. Check it out, there are some really neat images on the site. Let me know what you think. I coded the whole site with no intentions of using flash, and achieved a beautiful and functional site. Check out the 'Projects' Gallery. There are some really neat long photos that look great with the photo viewer. Anywho drop a line and tell me what you think. And check out the portfolio page if you would like a little more information about the site.
Posted on 13 Jun 2008 by fsk141 in: Fsk141 BackendI've spent hours yesterday and today working on the backend to the site. I was working on making the site all up to par, and making it W3C valid. I ended up taking the task of making it XHtml 1.0 Strict, which was a ton of work, but I guess it's cool. It's the newest standard, and I feel special. I first tried XHtml 1.1, and validate against it, yet I needed to change some mime type crap, and decided to just go with 1.0. I spent a ton of time working on this for the homepage, yet haven't followed suit with all the other pages. It should only take another hour or so to finish it up on all the pages, yet I think I will make myself a little php template system before I go and make all the pages validated. Currently I'm using some modular php snippets for the site. I have multiple php includes that include the different static sections of the site. I hope to have a fully modular site in the future, and might end up making a php backend so that I can edit one place, and add new pages and whatnot?
Well not really, but I got on the radio today. I called in on the John and Ken show at around 6PM today, and in about 8 minutes I got on the show. I was nervous, and tried to get my point across, and they (John and Ken) understood what I was trying to say, but it was hard for many people I would figure. I kinda stumbled with my words... Anywho it was kinda neat, and I just thought you might want to know.
Well I added google search >>> Look to the right. It's pretty swell, yet the options that I'm left with are minimal to integrate into the website. I would like to make it fit the center portion of the site, yet the minimum width of the final page is 800px. I don't have 800 px to spare, so I just choose to have a blank white page with the results. Oh well I guess, but I will try and integrate it into the site when they make it modular, or size requirements are made a little smaller.

Just added captcha to the comment section because I got some spam, and hopefully captcha will work?
After a short time of leave from the blog, I'm returning with a vengeance to give 'content' yay! Anywho check out the How-To's link. I hope to have actual links soon :) For now all that's there are hints of the write ups. Also I added 'Recent Desktops' to the previous barren right portion of the site. I plan to update this once a month with new screenshots of my miscellaneous computers that I use on a day to day basis. I might add a wallpaper link so that you can download my wallpaper. As for the first link I'm using a picture that I took with my lightbox.
Today was kinda cool. I ended up selling http://www.minifsk.com
to an Irishman named Patrick. Anywho I ended up selling it for 500 dollars, and I'm going to put the money into something awesome, prolly a new business adventure, or just a new router/PBX (Internet Phone). I'm still researching the project, so it seems so far off at the moment.
