Summer of 06

Posted on May 21, 2006, 10:57 am EST

So what am I doing this summer is one of the repeating questions this summer. One thing I can tell you is that I switched my days into nights. But what else am I doing?

Currently I am doing a big web application for a company overseas. That webapplication will act like an internal network for that company. Its complexity is so big as in building 10 dynamic websites in one area. My main problem was to do a proper design since the client loves to change the requirments weekly. So one of my main goals was to think out of the box. The website currently is running PHP 5, MYSQL 5, CSS, javascript, XHTML, and of some AJAX.

I am taking a course in Carleton University, which is Analysis and Algorithms. That course seems tough, but you can't let a course be ontop of you :). That will kill some of my time, but oh well...

Oh and I am still thinking weather to contribute in the opensource community. I am thinking of programming for eclipse or php.

I am volunteering to help my professor do his opensource project as well. It is called uced, it is pretty nice tool for software engineering to gather requirements and it will do all sort of stuff :)

I am still browsing in my regular forums and irc networks :) I would never give that up :x And I started to play F.E.A.R. and Tomb Raider Legends. I started to play The DaVinci Code but when I saw the movie, it was an easy game.

Yes indeed, what a chilling summer!
