Your awesome Tagline

Oy. Going back and forth from AS3 to C# while sick makes me more sick.  Mostly the IDE’s don’t snap in place.

Okay did some cleaning up. I got rid of the AJAX loading of images with the welcome page when you log in. Now you’re automatically directed to your profile, I’m going to be adding removing pictures that you created later today, *needs some resting first after coding all day yesterday and a few hours today*. 

Any upvote you give an image will be placed in your profile personal view. Along with any comments / status updates you make and any new images that you make as well. Uhh. There’s also an “Other People” view, people can post to your profile, but it won’t be displayed on their main stream. Instead if you want to view what other people have said about you, you click that linky directly below the comment box and it switches the view. 

The site’s really shaping into a tumblr + facebook-e + deviantArt thing, but you doodlers have your own flare :D

I changed the way to change your profile image, when you hover your profile image on your profile page you’ll get a little link to “Change Profile” and that’ll redirect you to another page. I couldn’t have consistent css layouting with the image submit box being on the page w/ limited room courtesy of fragmented html / css browser standards [yay]. 

Uhh. what else, Oh yeah! For those of you who haven’t noticed already, Paint Lonely is a new app that lets you draw by yourself, and you can save the image to your profile. The mobile app for that is currently being reviewed.

Anddd lastly, I recorded the Kick-starter commercial this weekend. I’ll be making the project public this THURSDAY March 8th in the evening. And that campaign will run for about 60ish days. So pleaaase stay tuned for that! The future of PaintAcquaint depends on this!!

Programming Endurance

In attempt to beef up my project portfolio I will embark on a project - a - week type deal inspired by Jonathan Coulton’s ThingAWeek [where he made a new song a week and put it online for free].  Part of the irony of this all is he actually quit programming to pursue his musical career while I on the other hand have just really started my coding profession [kinda].

I too will be putting the desktop versions online for free, but in attempt to not go bust I’ll be selling the iOS and android versions for specific applications I make [simple games will be ported mobile, while flat out sites won’t be or at least during that week span].

Hopefully I’ll stumble upon and create a gold-mine application or at the very least learn some new tricks orrr rush through all the programs transforming myself into a sloppier programmer.  Who knows.

Technologies I will be using:

I’m an advocate of adobe flash.  It’s a great platform for RAD versus WebGL + html5 just don’t have the consistency like it or any o.  webGL isn’t supported in IE.  Porting a flash / air game to mobile is straight-forward.  And it’s nice to have a platform with oh you know 99% desktop penetration <http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplatformruntimes/statistics.html>.

PHP, MySQL, JQuery [for web development].  I have to really force myself to learn some ruby though.

C#, Java and possibly MASM-x86

——————-

But here’s a couple of projects that are part of my 52 list:

1).  real-time notepad editor

2).  math flashcards

3).  music composing software [listens on input and writes the sheet music]

4).  CAD type system

5).  Create your own comic-book

6).  Memory Testing Game

7).  Management of Programs, limiting time on programs for your kids.

Along with minor updates, such as server updates to include ACK will count as a week-long project or implementing a log-in feature for my mobile apps.

I built the first version of PaintAcquaint.com in under 2 weeks so it’ll be interesting to see how I handle the load.  Also, I’m working so I’ll be nightly hacking away at these projects.

A break-down of the week will be

Monday: Planning / Deciding what features to include

Tuesday: Coding

Wednesday: Coding

Thursday: Coding

Friday: Coding / Deploy to desktop and mobile

Sunday: Left-over push-through

So I’ll give myself roughly 4.5 days to really build the application.  Anywho, I will formally start once I finish recording the video for my kick-starter project.
