For those of you that will be attending the wedding, it starts at 2:00pm on Saturday. Plan to be there about 10 minutes early. Also, remember that this is a race weekend, so there might be a considerable amount of traffic since the JP's office is so close to Texas Motor Speedway.
The JP office is [...]

It's been so long since I've written anything really personal here. I just feel like this isn't the place for it anymore — like I need to go somewhere else to get those personal aspects out. I feel like this has become the part of me that I'm not afraid of showing people, and that [...]

Why do I always do this? I've made such great progress with Inklog and then I stop because I become frustrated with the outcome.
I really like Blosxom's method of keeping everything in the file system. It's easy to use, easy to edit, and easy to backup. And, after careful consideration, I decided that many aspects [...]

Inklog, the weblogging system that I am authoring, is stuck on one small (yet, oh so large) point, and I need your help to decide what to do. I'm pivoting between MORE flexibility and MORE usability and I need to know how you would prefer your weblog, image gallery, content manager, todo list, DVD collection [...]

I've worked out some of the Inklog kinks I encountered and things are back on track. The system will still be a full framework. However, I've made a decision that will drastically effect the future of Inklog. The system will require Smarty. In order to make a truly simple, flexible and usable system, certain features [...]

Jess and I are going downtown to get some exercize and take some photographs. Call or text message me (pager AT revjim DOT net) if you'd like to join us.
(We've been doing this a lot lately, haven't we?)

The framework portions of Inklog are not working out as well as I would have liked them to. The framework itself is starting to become too cluttered. Additionally, the blogging module is becoming more and more difficult to use.
So, this leaves me with two choices. Continue to plan the framework in hopes that I'll figure [...]

If you need someone with a truck to help you move something from point A to point B, I am no longer capable of being that individual.
On the other side of that same story, I am having a serious case of buyer's remorse.

After looking into Blosxom so heavily lately, I've decided to scrap the portions of Inklog that I've written so far, and start over. Blosxom has been a true inspiration by showing the benefits of using existing infastructure in interesting ways to create an easy to use, flexible, efficient system.
I know what you're thinking: "another PHP [...]
