My website works again!

New content soon.  I've done some interesting things in the last few months.

Oh look, I finally updated my website!  Hooray!  I added a projects page.  This reflects my change in interest from software over to hardware.  This doesn't mean I won't write anymore software, just that with school and work I have been getting involved in more hardware projects.  As my college career continues, I am positive I will be working on various side projects that interest me, and they will be posted here.

I posted two recent projects I have worked on, although it's really one really cool project.  It's a kiosk for my room.  You can read about it on the new projects page.

I like RFID stuff now.  I'm looking into building my own reader/transponder setup.  Maybe even checking out some of the latest Mifare hacks.  It looks fun.

I should probably work on D++.    You loyal readers are awesome.  We should have another PageMac Conference again soon.  Maybe we can get 4 people this time!  Hey that reminds me, I will be in Europe this summer, studying at GT's campus in France.  I will have lots of 3 and 4 day weekends to travel around and do stuff.  I know some of you guys live out there.  Anybody want to meet up maybe?

One of the tables on the forums crashed, rendering them unusable.  Took me a while to notice.  Then it took me a while to realize I actually do have access to the database to fix it.  Didn't take me that long to fix it.  They are back up.  Rejoice.

I've finally gotten around to fixing registration issues and upgraded the forum.  New members no longer require activation and a CAPTCHA is now being used so that bots can't register.  We've been getting about 20-30 bot registrations per day, which floods the registration queue, and so I never approved any new members.  I have also deleted all accounts which had zero posts.

Also, I'm probably going to mess around with the site design and content as I continue to shift it to a personal website and place to write stuff, which I may or may not be updating lots in the future.  (Of course, I plan to, but you know how procrastination gets to you)

Sorry about the downtime everyone.  The pagemac.com domain expired on us and caught me off gaurd.  You see, I got the "warning e-mail" that my domain was expiring way the heck back in October.  And I'm thinking "I've got plenty of time, it doesn't expire until February!"  Well, I forgot all about it in that time of course, so when it came time, it expired, and we got this 3 days of downtime because of it.

I think this has happened every year.  Heh.

Anyways, it's been registered for 3 years now, so this shouldn't happen again... for a while at least.
