I'm enjoying the seemingly structureless musings of Daedelus.

oh and I finally picked up a copy of the last Harry Potter book.. No one has ruined it for me yet..

First cakePHP project: a CMS

I'm going to start coding a CMS in cakePHP.

Also, instead of just having a text box for the user to input information, I would like to use fckeditor. This will allow for a Microsoft Word-like interface and make it a little easier to input page content..

NSIS development on Eclipse

For some time I've been developing my NSIS installations for Appian using Notepad++ and the NSIS code completion library for quick dev. It turns out there is a handy NSIS development plugin for eclipse that I should be using...

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/EclipseNSIS_-_NSIS_plugin_for_Eclipse

Complete with a visual tool for InstallOptions custom dialog screens for user interaction with the installer itself.

Overall, I think that NSIS is a very good alternative to the mainstream Installshield and Installaware applications. Hopefully the foreign exe's that NSIS generates don't get targeted as a minority that Vista or further MS OS's target as bad installation implementations. They are pretty "gung-ho" with their windows installation services msi directive...

Setup steps:

(need to install this plugin on Eclipse 3.3 or later..)

Just about everything should be handled through a client side javascript validation. Stuff like

The next router I will buy..

The Linksys WRT350N

I used to do strictly Netgear products, but I've had some issues with the WNR854T Netgear router in a client's office.

Newegg's got them for 150 right now..

NSIS - .Net 2.0 check and install

I found this module that will check for and install if necessary the .Net 2.0 runtime..

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/DotNET#Including_the_Script

Looks really great. I will need it for Appian's installers..

Connection test services

I have a client that I need to monitor to make sure they stay online. I will probably need to make a two part application for this:

• A server that will send out something of a heart-beat signal and wait a specified interval to make sure it gets a reply back.
  
• A client that will answer the heart-beat at a specified interval.

If the heartbeat isn't answered, then I think there should be an event that occurs.

• The site downage is recorded to a database
• an email should be sent to parties responsible for the sites up time.
• An email should be sent to aboveSHIFT
  

MediaWiki easier???

I want to start using wiki's more often for internal document structure, but there's really no great solution out there. FCKeditor for MediaWiki

Maybe this could be a good project..

• Internal office information with access levels (you don't want marketing people into common IT passwords..)
• Media wiki would be ideal, but its just too hard to use..
• need something more like a blog interface.
• office document modification would be a plus
  
• open up and edit .doc, .xls, etc...
• Google has an ideal solution, but I do not believe its portable (exists only on their servers..)

On a side note, wordpress is starting to talk about integration with Wordress and PHP Wiki. Looks kind of interesting...

Ideas for Zencart add products structure

Make a full screen application that will allow for multiple tasks...

• Maybe there should be a bar of things to do on the left side of the screen?
• instead of tabs on the top of the window..

A fondness for Rails

I have been wanting to get into Ruby on Rails for some time now. I haven't really had the time to dedicate to learning the syntax of a new language, however. I've heard all about CakePHP though, and am going to start a new project in it over the course of the next few weeks. CakePHP has borrowed the Ruby on Rails MVC structure for coding projects.
