What have I been up to?

Well, to be honest. Not a lot! I’ve had quite a large college workload, but I gotta admit. I’m loving the place!

Turns out I have to do two years of Maths, seeming the first year is a “Foundation” course, and the second will be a higher, allowing me to get a grade A.

Ahh well, at the end of the day it’s only a means to an end. If two years of enduring my lecturer’s horribly squeaky voice and extremely annoying, condescending attitude get’s me one step closer to working at Google then so be it!

Anyway, a recent project of mine has been what I call my ‘DevShed’. I do a lot of work on my Linux machine, mainly it’s just stupid project ideas that pop into my head, then I sit down and get to work on it. I wanted a place that I could see all of this work, download all of this work and take it everywhere with me. Hence, my ‘DevShed’.

Well, the DevShed will be coded in PHP and hosted on my Linux machine, that way I can access it from wherever, using a NoIP, so I don’t have to remember and type mine out all the time :)

My idea for this DevShed is that it lists my htdocs folder, .tar.gz’s my sub folders and allows me to download them on request. I’m hoping to incorporate a built-in code editor on the DevShed as well, hopefully using the former Mozilla Bespin (now SkyWriter, but I prefer the name Bespin… Star wars FTW) project. This will allow me to edit files on the fly.

This project will of course be all open source, I’m hoping to make it completely out of Object Orientated PHP, that means I need to brush up on my prepared statements, but it’s all good.

Just a quick update on the job I was going for, not sure if I told you are not.

Anyway, I was ‘confronted’ by a company that I done my work experience for, they are a local Web Design company called Slightly Different, they offered me a temporary work placement for me to fit in around my college time. I was extremely interested(damn right, I love the place!) and I even went down for an interview. I sent them the time I would be able to work on it, like asked. But unfortunately they didn’t have a large enough work load, and thus had no need for me. It’s a shame, but I can live with it.

Anyway, I best get back to this DevShed, so I’m gonna leave here… Has anyone seen that new film ‘The Social Network’? I checked it out this evening, and oh my gosh it was AMAZING.

Anyway…
