Design slacker - My Design Project

I know I have been the biggest slacker when it comes to the re-design and layout of this blog. But there is good reason behind my slacker ways.

Basically I've been working on over drive to finish my clients sites. Well I'm currently experience a lull in my work load. I plan to take full advantage of this lull and create a new design that hopefully will be consider "innovative", "fresh" and all those special things.

I hope to create something like that so I can compete in the Layer Tennis matches.

Hopefully I'll be able to do that.

Cheers.

My PVR Project - The Beginning

Roger's Cable TV and Bell Satellite TV both offer PVR units with their digital television service. Their packages are price competitively and the promotional deals have almost swayed me to buy a PVR unit.

As I considering these promotional deals I was curious to see if there were any other PVR options available. To my surprise there are plenty of options available. One of the options that I found I really liked because I can use my old PC, which is sitting in storage collecting dust, as the PVR unit.

Using Ubuntu, MythTV and a video capture card I can turn my PC into a PVR.

Here is where my project begins. I'm creating the plan to execute this project and successfully start PVR-ing all the television shows I want to watch.

My PVR Project plan:

1. Buy a video capture card that has a TV port and drivers that support Ubuntu and MythTV


2. Install the new video card


3. Install Ubuntu


4. Install MythTV


5. Start recording TV with my new PVR

I'm sure executing the plan will be a lot more complicated that actually planning out the steps that are required to setup a PVR.

Be sure to watch for the next "My PVR Project" entry. I'll have pictures and a lot more information to share.

PHP Brush Up and CakePHP

My previous PHP programming experience has been a blessing this past week.

Quite recently I've was exposed to the CakePHP. CakePHP, in a nutshell, is a Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern. It provides a structured framework that allows PHP programmer to rapidly develop robust web applications.

Currently I'm in the process right now of writing some custom helpers that will retrieve images from a database and provide an easy way for the "View" to use those images.

I'll be sure to add more details when I have a working example.
