In case you weren't sure, yes, this site is my personal repository of stuff. By "stuff" I mean literally anything and everything. The majority of it will be portfolio work, blog posts, information about me, and other things I think may be useful. Stay tuned, this site will have things added multiple times per week. Some of which you might find useful.

If you're looking for information that you can't find on here, let me know, and I'll see what I can do. If you're looking for web/software development, PC maintenance, or consulting work, most of that information can be found at the Rivtech Solutions website.

Quick update

Posted on December 12th, 2009 by ben

So, the Fall semester if coming to and end, and I'm anticipating straight A's, which will allow me to keep my 4.0 GPA. I was originally planning to take only about 4 classes next semester, but, two MGMT courses opened up as a directed study, so they'll work with my schedule a bit better.

Over the break, I intend on finishing a couple of side projects I was working on. One is a customized CMS for a comedian's website I had started before this semester started, and is nearly complete. It's not as customizable as I would like, but certainly offers a lot of potential in the way it was designed. I intend to expand upon it for more universal uses.

The other project I want to look at is actually two parts. One is implementing the Zend framework on this site, (possibly leading to a ZF certification), and the other is some more experimentation of iPhone-optimized web sites. I found a framework, jQTouch, that offers a lot of javascript functionality to make a website look and feel more like an iPhone app in terms of display, navigation, animation, and AJAX calls. Thinking I can somehoe leverage that at work at some point.

Speaking of work...super busy is an under-statement, but it's certainly a good problem to have. There is so much going on it's hard to juggle it all, but every single day, I leave there knowing something I didn't know when I woke up. The drive in to work in the morning has never been so exciting for any other job I've ever worked in.

Hopefully, I'll see something blog-like in the Zend Framework to experiment with, and this post will likely move onto a new blag page/section. Nothing is set in stone yet, but we'll see...
