I haven’t been programming in a few years and now I’m brushing up on my knowledge and I find it hard and tedious. The only coding I have been doing in the last few years have been web oriented things like php and doing simple web things using CSS and really basic stuff. So im just going to write a simple java application to update a SQL database, but I need to use Ingres to create the database which coincidently I hate using i rather use a GUI like phpmysql or something like that to get the database up and running. Because I have only been using Mysql and similar things when running web forums and wikis for the last couple of years, but hopefully the little knowledge about Java and Ingres will come back to me during the upcoming week or else I’m in trouble.
On a side note I’m probably going to do some updates to the php webforum that I started with last year. I just need to get my scanner working again so I can scan the handouts for the different RPG scenarios and make them available online if the need arises for making use of the forum. But I need to get my flickr account sorted and make more pictures available and find a easy image editing software to edit the images with. As it stands now I only put up the images unedited and without much test and tags, but that Is on my to-do-list. I would like to start using more geotagging and tie-in google-maps. I also have stopped putting pictures up on Facebook and will as soon as my website is ready move all my images over to flickr or maybe host them myself, haven’t decided just yet. Need to scan lots of my older pictures and make them available online and I also have another project that I will be working on in my spare time, not that there is much of that available right now.
I’m just writing a update on what im planning to do for my individual assignment for the digital cultures class. Im gonna make a photoblogg and post it on flickr. I have never tried anything like this before and I’m curious to see how it will turn out, gonna use my Nokia N73 as I always have that with me and It has a decent camera. Hopefully I will publish my second seminar synopsis this at the end of this week, about halfway through it.
Feel like the school work is piling up this weekend, have an business economy assignment due in the beginning of next week. And I have not yet sorted out my usability testing that was due weeks ago. On a slightly lighter note Stephanie got me to start use twitter, and it pretty fun, lets hope I can stick with it. As updating my status is about the only thing I use Facebook for at the moment, not interested in the crappy games and other applications they have.
