Harvest the code
Posted in Technicalon May 16, 2007
I thought I would throw a few marbles around about my current personal coding project. It is an object oriented content management system written in PHP. In one of my other jobs, I’ve written something very similar, which means there is a good working proof of concept.
A lot of the ideas for features have come through my experiences with Plone, a content management system written on top of Zope in Python. Plone is an excellent CMS, but it is a little complicated, and my CMS should be quite a bit easier to hack on.
I’m calling my project Harvest or Harvest CMS, I haven’t decided which one yet. It goes along with my domain, peargrove.com which I use for various project hosting.
As the project gets underway, I’ll post a link to the project page or project blog or whatever else comes along.
What is it? It’s a whatsit

For one of my web developer projects, I’ve tasked myself with building a homepage similar to Google’s Personalized Home Page, now called iGoogle. I thought it would be great to provide various modules on the page, and that I could provide a custom set of modules based on audience.

Is the logout button obsolete?
Posted in Technicalon Nov 22, 2006
I must be a nerd because web site security worries keeps me awake at night. Tonight I was worried about particular web site designs that might discourage users from logging out and I was curious about how many users were actually logging out.

Launched my first open source project
Posted in Technicalon Nov 12, 2006
Yesterday I launched my first open source project. It is actually a really small project, and will probably stay permanently in I-mode development. I published it under the LGPL license, because the code base I started with used that license.
The project is just a simple little plugin for Wordpress which displayed related links for religious subject matters.
Update: Unfortunately, the backend which drived this plugin is gone, so this project has been discontinued.
New home page
Posted in Bloggingon Nov 7, 2006
The last couple of days I spent just a little bit of time throwing together a new homepage. I’m not really sure what the idea behind it is, I just thought that I should have something, especially with having three different blogs to keep track of.
So the home page is basically a personalized aggregator of blogs and comments I write or read. It was coded in PHP and makes use of the MagpieRSS parser. The HTML code for the page is also very simple, making good use of some CSS features for a quick layout.
The page is likely to evolve over time.

New BYU Ham Radio Site
Posted in Technicalon Oct 14, 2006
Today I made a post to the BYUARC (Amateur Radio Club) mailing list announcing that I put up a new website for the club. The new site really isn’t really my design, I simply put some links and a title in a header frame while the content frame loads various Google services pages, mostly from Google Groups. The new site (or frameset if you want to call it that) can be loaded up at http://radioclub.byu.edu .
Although I would have liked to have continued with a custom website, I thought it was important to have stability and ease of use with the site. Google Groups Beta seems to provide a pretty good set of services for a club or group to share files or create web pages. I think once they can integrate a calendar into the mix, then they will have a full range of offerings.
