Mr. JMW

A minute ago, I wrote a post explaining and introducing http://places-to-go.us . Well somehow Wordpress created three of my new posts and managed to created three of the previous latest post. I tried to delete two of each so I would be left with only one of each. BUT what happened instead is that it erase (all three) of the post I just did.
Anyway, check out the above site, it’s my latest project. And know that this is all messed up and I’ll get around to fixing it up sooner or later but it’s not a priority of mine at the moment
Peace!

I was too!

I went to a few different tutorials (Tutorial 1 , Tutorial 2) on how to set it up for an intranet environment, but I couldn’t get it to work.

It seemed like it wasn’t working because IIS wasn’t properly authenticating the user. But when I went to my IIS settings everything was right according to the tutorials…

(Like this…)

Everything was right! But still no luck.

To make a long story short, I found this article and it did the trick…

Forcing NTLM Authentication (IIS 6.0)

Now I can enjoy Windows Authentication in ASP.NET for my Intranet Web App!

I’m looking for a project and I’ve been meaning to make a WordPress plugin and make it available to the community for a while. But I need some ideas. I want to make a great and useful plugin.

Go ahead and leave any ideas in the comments. I can’t promise I’ll do it but if I find the right one I’ll do it.

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. And low and behold, my host (Dreamhost) offers a one click install source control system called Subversion. Here is a nice tutorial on how to get it set up…

Setting Up Subversion With Dreamhost And Windows

I can’t wait to really start using this!

To continue the clasifis.com story…

My buddy went ahead and started the company and is working on it as a side project. It is a corporation now and he has a budget to work with from an investor (from what he tells me). I have left the project because I have a full time job now and I’m persuing other side projects.

Yaclasificados.com is the new name and it is no longer powered by the C# / ASP.Net app that we wrote (”clasifis”).

Right now there is no live example of the application code-named “clasifis” but I may implement it under a different domain in the future.

I worked on the application powering guitarcentermerch.com while working at BandMerch.com.

This web application allows you to upload a custom logo (it must be black with a full white background) and place/size it on a shirt and choose the logo color. The overall goal of the project was to provide a web interface to order a one color custom logo silk screened on a tee-shirt.

This was done by one other developer and myself. And it also ties into the native shopping-cart of BandMerch.com. The major parts that I contributed to were the image processing and the work-flow of the pages. The image processing part was done using Java Advanced Imaging and Java’s standard imaging. The work-flow part was done with Javabeans, HTML, and Javascript.

UPDATE 04/24/2006: This project/web application is no longer live. For the rest of the story, read yaclasificados.com

Clasifis.com is a project a friend and I are working. We met in school and after I graduated, he helped me get a job at MiCasa.com . After I worked there for two months, he left and then I did too. Why? well the owner of that company still owes me a months pay. That is why I left.

So, we were out of work and we started talking one day about project ideas. He had the idea to make a clone of Craigslist.org in Spanish. We started talking about hardware and software schemes we could setup that would allow us to Read the rest of this entry ?

Simple Battery Timer is a little program I wrote sometime during the first quarter of this year (2005). It is basically a utility for timing your laptop’s battery life. All it really does is show you what percentage of the battery was drained over what period of time. It shows you a few more battery metrics, but nothing extraordinary. Also it won’t start timing if your laptop is plugged in and it will stop timing automatically when you plug your laptop in.
