My Projects

Here is a list of projects (in no particular order) that I would like to complete in my free time over the next 12 months or so, if for no other reason then I like to do these sorts of things. It doesn’t quite seem like a hobby, but it certainly doesn’t feel like work.

• Finish my baseball stat sites by the free agency period failed.
• Build a local web server running Ubuntu Linux with LAMP and Ruby on Rails while using a wireless USB adapter(ugh) to connect to my home network. failed, sorta. I have the box running like I want now.
• Create web sites for my parents restaurants, but sites geared more towards the business administration aspect. Having it web based, they could then access the tools from anywhere. Overkill, not needed.
• Develop and maintain my own social web site that is only for people I know and trust, all 8 of them Not really a priority, moved way off the to-do list.
• Create my own version of the Flickr home page, you know, one that is actually useful
• Update the layout code of my web site done
• Create my own php script that can scrape web data to create RSS feeds for sites that have none
• Look into using FreeNAS as a local backup solution and maybe tie in with Amazon’s S3
• Blog more, begin to develop a better personal brand Didn’t happen. Lost interest really.

Sounds like a lot, it isn’t really. I just need to prioritize well. I am hoping by making this public it will force me to work on these ideas rather than just talk about them.
