Sproutcode

Currently playing with gnome based twitter clients… starting with gwibber. Definately more convenient than the web interface so far.

I need to integrate twitter, facebook and my wordpress site in a reasonable fashion if I’m going to make use of any of the three.

…are okay. We all catch up to ourselves eventually. Excuse my personal notes

• Integrate this site with twitter and facebook in some reasonable fashion.
• Join LinkedIn?
• Send more resumes…
• Something else I’m forgetting.
• Install CentOS in vm (again) – also recently switched from ubuntu to fedora just to see. I had attended a job fair for the Blue Cross and it seems knowing the Redhat (and Oracle App Server) environments will be useful knowledge to have. (fingers crossed for the interview)
• More jquery goodness to spiff up this site?

I just wanted to say that any random person from the past or not so past who happens to find this site is welcome to drop me a line.

Life is fascinating… and mostly weird

I need to add my Resume to this site – I wonder what the best format is for its online incarnation? Probably depends on who you ask.

Update demos! I have a substantial JavaEE shopping cart demo that needs to be re-hosted and polished.

There is also a PHP based (specifically cakePHP) web application I would like to demo that was built as a working (mostly) prototype for the Edmonton Historical Board. They asked that it be gpl so I plan to continue work on my copy and I’ll upload the sources and a hosted version with test data as soon as time permits.

Trying to make the most of it…

Thinking that if I I actually have something to say I’ll say it here first:

I started new courses this week: Project Management/Career Development and Oracle.  Should be interesting.

I’m trying to decide whether to work on the oracle labs at home via VPN + VNC or install Oracle on my own laptop (ubuntu -64bit).  I had no trouble in a previous semester getting the MySQL and JavaEE stack up and running locally, which saved me a lot of hassle while developing.  Oracle and form builder shouldn’t be any worse should they?  Doesn’t hurt to experiment.

UPDATE – Oracle 10g and Sql developer work just fine after some initial config changes. I’m also done the first lab.

UPDATE II – The Oracle Development Suite proved to be too much of a pain to install in ubuntu. No deb package like there was for the database. I’ve set up a CentOS vm to see if I can get it all up and running there. I should probably just use the VPN connection to finish the homework. Or I can continue to mess with this…

Deciding what to do next.

Damnit… So I’ve been suckered?
