Slow news is still news, right?

I still have no idea why I update this thing. Maybe its compulsory, maybe its because I still hold a glimmer of hope that things will pick up and more people will come on-board.

In any case, I really don't have a whole lot to report on. Umm, I went to the gym yesterday for the first time since I got out of school. I have about a month before I start college, so I figured I might as well try to get into shape instead of wasting the days away.

Oh! And today I completed a reservation request system for the Torrey Pines State Reserve. That was a lot of fun, actually, as it was the first time I'd ever done work with someone. Quite to my good fortune, I met a fellow web designer at my hometown's chocolate festival (of all places...) back in late June. Once he heard that I was proficient in PHP, he was immediately interested, as he possessed the artistic aspects of web design, but was looking for someone to handle back-end datbasing and to get him going on learning PHP, too. To make a long story short, Goodkin Design and KaleNet Web Design are partnered up for the time being, and now I can say I've done work for the state of California!

I will say this for partnering with someone; the money is a bit easier to get a hold of, especially if they have an understanding of the work that goes into something like a form reservation system.

And other than that, due to my tie-ins with the city's Traffic Commission, tomorrow I get to go to the ribbon-cutting ceremony of a new road! Yay for politics! I also get to bike about 6 miles to get there. Its the perfect opportunity to break in my new helmet and gloves :D

Congratulations! How did you ever wind up at a chocolate festival? :P

If you're really bored you could bike to NY, you'd get into shape as well ;)

How did I end up at a chocolate festival? Lets just say that girlfriends work wonders on developing a social life. Well, not only that, I really like chocolate!

And I would so bike to NY! Oh man, I would be the happiest man on Earth if I did that...I'd better start training :D

Sounds good. Hope you guys working together works out good :)

I come here every so often. not like everyday or anything but maybe once a week.

By the way, I think the comment sorting still isn't 100%, pretty much the same problem as happened in post 39:

Yup, it made Kale's reply to your comment first then mine went after yours. odd :P

By Matt @ Wed Aug 23, 2006 03:18 PM

Yeah, I've been using date strings to sort posts. Its a really poor way to do it, but when I created the comment system I didn't know about Unix timestamps. I've made the switch to timestamps for the news posts themselves, but I have yet to convert all the comments to them.

Its in the works, actually, I'll let you know when it goes through!
