Finished with summer classes!
Sunday, July 29th, 2007I just took the last online exam for my business class! I now have all of August to do whatever I please. I’ll be using a large chunk of this time to work on the aforementioned project, I’m sure.

Current undertakings
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007I’m currently continuing (well, starting, rather) development on a website for my computer science capstone project. I won’t have to present the finished product until sometime in late November (tentative), but it’ll be good to get a head start during the month of August, when I don’t have many obligations. The site is being built completely from scratch. I’ll be utilizing Photoshop, XHTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, and Javascript/AJAX, so it’s definitely a big undertaking. The site will include both a front and back end. More to come later, I’m sure.
Oh yeah? Well… Web times infinity!
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007I just did a double-take while reading a job listing on Craigslist for a “Junior Web Developer”. From the listing:
Would you like to be part of a development team working on the newest web 2.0/web 3.0 concepts?
Web 3.0?! People sure love their buzzwords these days… Wikipedia was slightly helpful in lessening my confusion with this article.
Goings on
Sunday, July 8th, 2007I finally booked my trip to San Francisco yesterday. I’ll be there between Saturday, August 11 and Wednesday, August 15. Hotwire came up with a great deal: roundtrip airfare (United/Frontier) and 4 nights in a 4-star hotel (Hyatt) for a mere $450.00! Not too shabby at all. I’ve never been out to California, but the purpose of this trip is to see if it’s somewhere I would like to live and work after I’m done with school in December. Lord knows there isn’t a shortage of web-related jobs in that city!
Jill and I went to a Royals game with my mom on Saturday. It was a great game, with the Royals winning by a run in the bottom of the 9th inning. Got myself a lovely green ball cap while I was at the stadium.
In freelance news: I’m continuing work on a large project that may or may not still interest the customer that requested it. I figure if he still wants it, great; if not, it’ll still be a good site for my portfolio since everything is being built from scratch. More details later, perhaps.
I’ve started re-reading all of my Terry Pratchett books. I’ve accumulated so many that I’ve forgotten most of the stories. It’s like having new books all over again! A picture of most of the collection: http://flickr.com/photos/kschaller/759053096/.
Bye for now.
