Updated Theme

Just realized that I was several versions behind the recent version of veryplaintxt. Updated today and all seems to be doing fine. If you notice anything weird, let me know.

Sharing a Printer Between XP and Ubuntu

This post is merely a breadcrumb for myself. Once I get my home network up and running (could be awhile since I will be gone a lot this summer and I am content leeching from my neighbor), I think it is imperative for Tanya and I to be able to print from any computer in the house. Just found a Ubuntu forum thread that goes through the process. Only stumbling block I see at the moment is that the “host” machine will need to be on to print from other computers. But, that shouldn’t be a big deal since I plan for that host machine to serve as a file server anyways.

Concert Tonight

I’m heading up to the cities shortly to see the Progressive Nation concert. I’m really looking forward to seeing Opeth again. It’s been over a year since I’ve seen them. Not to mention that I get to see Dream Theater again. I haven’t listened to their new stuff yet so tonight should be a good surprise.

Class Project

So, I drafted an outline of this post a long time ago and today I finally am getting around to finishing the post.

In System Design and Analysis, IT 380, it customary for a company to give the class a project that the company will actually be implementing in the near future. For our project, General Mills assigned a recipe management system.

This system is responsible for taking recipe submissions and taking those submissions through an approval process. New ingredients must first be approved before the recipe they are attached to can be approved. The general flow of the system is pretty simple.

Technology:

  • Java, JSP’s
  • Apache Tomcat
  • MySQL
  • Linux (Ubuntu)

We are close to wrapping up the project, with our presentation on Friday morning. We are close to having a functional submission process. Now, we need to work on the approval process and continue work on the user home pages.

Upgraded to WP 2.5

So, I just updated to Wordpress 2.5. Gotta love the automatic upgrading provided by Dreamhost.

If you see any errors, please let me know.
