This week was full of mayhem and I don’t really know where to begin. First of all, I had half of a tree fall down on my cable line in my front yard. It was pretty wild, but ultimately we got over it and met some new neighbors along the way. Nice guys, nice guys. They came over with the chainsaw and took care of business. If anyone wants some kinilin, let me know.
On to event two. I went to the greek fest last night and got to see the gin blossoms play. My mid-nighties rock dream finally came true. One of the first songs I ever learned on the guitar was hey jealousy. I gotta say it was really fun until the rain came. Then, in my punk rock prowess, I tried to get adam up to crowd surf and apparently you cant do that. So he was kicked out and I was toast for the remainder of the night. But hey, for being fifteen years in the past, the gin blossoms made it fun.
In my third venture, I have to say, some people just could be a lot nicer. I went to a vegan barbecue and apparently some people don’t take liking to the fact that I think airheads is the best film ever made. Seriously, schindler’s list was not that good and if you want to go apples to apples, let focus on the the eighties. I watched pretty in pink today and must admit that it might just trump both of them.
And for my final awesome part of the week, I cut my hair. Well not exactly. The detroit red wings won the STANLEY CUP. Thats right, the wings took the steel city and it was totally awesome. I guess the shitty part about the whole thing was not hearing the detroit fans in the crowd once was all said and done. When Nick Lindstrom picked up that cup and skated around with it, I was waiting for the roar of the crowd but it wasn’t there. My theory was they would win in five which probably should have happened but what are you going to do? Wings win, I shave my face, and all is good in the fearnley house hold. My sister is turning thirty next week and I am having a party. The kegs will be flowing and the bar will be hooked up. Come on over. Once is all said and done, I wont remember a thing.

So now that I have proven to myself that I can configure a linux server, I decided it was time to move on with my projects. Actually the whole server thing feel a bit like a waste because its not real accessible because I am trying to conserve energy cost and never have it on. Anyway, next stop, web applicationville. After months of badgering, I have finally given in to jeff’s idea to create a college housing site. I jumped on this thing for two reasons. First, I am finding myself stoked to design another website. Second, after lending a hand with dave’s homework, I found an urge to sharpen up my php skills. Try somethings I never have with php before and hopefully learn how to develop with it really well.
My vision for this site is fairly simple. I figure it will contain two major segments. One being a search able database of housing around college campuses. It should as accommodating as possible for the end user. All the necessary filtering and navigation options and even offer things like suggestions to certain searches. The next segment would be a application for landlords. This landlord, or house administrator, could log on to the site and maintain a list of houses he or she has available. Essentially it would be a database maintained by the landlord that search able by the end user (or college student).
Is this thing going to have any appeal or even be marketable? Who knows, I dont really care. I just feel the need to get my hands dirty. Assuming the wire is not on television at the moment.
