Busking

Ok, it's been a while since my last post, but I've been rather busy. There's been work, X-Collegiates, and various side projects on which I'm always working. These include: finally getting the wireless working to a satisfactory level in the apartment, as well as setting up a nice Squid cache and a music player and reworking my website's code-base. Most recently, I've embarked on an enterprise of moderately greater ambition.

The linked-to website is currently just a place holder, but the description should tell you what it's about. Essentially, the idea of cold asking for money on the Internet has always fascinated me. I know that it has worked spectacularly well in the past, albeit, intermittently. So, I felt I might create a project to help folks with it. Think: MySpace with a PayPal sticker, only more attractive. There seems to be a big demand, (and given the worsening economy, an increasing demand,) so I shouldn't have too much trouble getting it off the ground. I'm actively working on it and a proto-type should be up in a few weeks.

Up and coming: no guarantees.

Website

What about it? It's received a face-lift since I last mentioned it, that's what.

Check it out.

I now have a website.

I've purchased a domain and some temporary hosting. The reason for the hosting, even though I have a perfectly fine server set up on my own computer is that my dad's router is in the way. It is set to use dhcp, and I need static IPs to access the server behind it. It's for the best anyway because I can't connect my computer to the net at school anyway. Come December I may buy my own connection and host my own stuff, but until then I'm stuck.

Anyway, the site is www.alternativehollywood.com. There isn't much there yet, just a placeholder page, but I'll be adding stuff in and out as I mess with php and cgi scripts.
