I'm home from work today (had to have my four second molars pulled in preparation for some gum surgery that I'm also not looking forward to). I thought I'd be out for a few hours and then be alble to enjoy the time out of the office, but it didn't work out like that. I went in for surgery at 9:30 a.m. and didn't get out of bed until 5:30 p.m. I vaguely remember beeing wheeled to my car, driven home, and put in bed. Gina has played nurse maid to me ever since. The pain meds are starting to wear off. I can tell it's not going to be pleasant from here on out.

I entirely forgot to mention that, after a long break from watching anything other than bad TV, Gina and I rented three very good DVDs this past weekend: Best In Show (mock documentary about dog shows), The Gift (a spooky flick co-written by Billy Bob Thornton. The main character is supposedly based on his mother), and State and Main (by David Mammet). Thumbs up, five stars, however you want to say it. They all rocked.

Thanks to the generous coder at foreword.com, I've now included a nice little script on WheatBlog2 that lets you post comments to each post (or, for that matter, lets me post comments to each post). So now you can chime in and turn this passive exercise into a dynamic experience (or something like that). I've still got some extra space floating around in the code somewhere, but I'll try to work that out. So far, commenting is only enabled on recent posts (from July on, I think). I haven't tweeked the defualt look of it yet either, though it doesn't look bad the way it is. I'll eventually code up one of these myself, but I can't imagine I'd do a more economical job of it (the whole thing takes maybe ten additional lines of code and stores the comments as text files [read: no performance hit]).

Humanclock is a fun thing to have running in the background. I mentioned it to Vicki on the phone, so I thought a link here might benefit her as well as anyone else who might want to check it out. My current office setup consists of a Mac iBook, a Redhat Linux desktop box, and a Win98 laptop. I leave humanclock running on the Mac whenever I'm not using it to trouble shoot cross-platform issues.

While doing a little ego-surfing, I noticed that someone has translated the rec.music.makers.bass FAQ file (which I host) into Italian.

My friend Steve celebrated a birthday over the weekend. I couldn't be there in person, but he included some pics at his site. He also has a cool little commenting system in place that I'll be stealing soon for my own site.
If I hit the ground running tomorrow, I'll be able to knock out many of the things on my todo list which have been bugging me lately. And if all that goes well, I'll be able to enjoy my upcomming vacation (just two more weeks of work to go) and ease into the Fall semester. I'm teach a technology class for social work students (they call it "infotech" though it's really a crash course in MS Office and an intro to design). I taught the same class last fall and it went very well. I hope this one is even better.
Nancy has a show this weekend at JR's (warning: f'ugly design). Maybe I'll pick up my bass between now and then (couldn't hurt).

TechCamp is over; long live TechCamp. I was entirely too exhausted to post anything during the entire week (a week during which I was lucky if I had time to check my email, much less reply to anything). Today I'm going to do a mockup for advisornews.com (my latest freelance design project). Today I'll mostly focus on information architecture and a very basic layout. Then I'll do some graphic design for it (and, hopefully, a good idea will come to me between now and then). Remember, kids, friends don't let friends use clip art (especially that corny stuff that comes with MS Office).
I'm going to Dad's today to put big signs that Gina and I printed on all of his cabinets and closets. He and his roomate can't remember whose storage space is whose, and it's causing some angst. I've discovered that Dad stays in pretty good spirits so long as I visit him fairly often (about every third day). And it's worth the time investment not to have to deal with him when he gets upset and starts demanding to move back out to the farm--his place out in the country.

The first day of TechCamp2001 went very well. The kids got a good dose of HTML, PowerPoint, and Photoshop. Tomorow, we dive into Flash and other things. The hit of the day was Photoshop. Some of the kids created some really beautiful stuff, often very abstract but very good as well. And everyone seemed to enjoy working with it.

Nancy played a show at Hendrix University in Conway, Arkansas over the weekend. Sean has been teaching there at the Arkansas Governer's School, a cool summer program that's been going on for over 20 years now. It's geared toward high school students. They come and live on campus for several weeks and take classes. They were a great audience (unjaded, completely into it). It was worth the three-hour drive.
The Tares are going through some profound changes. They're moving to Austin, TX, but the current rhythm section isn't going with them, so they're forming a new one down there (they've already recruted an excelent bassist and have will find a drummer). Their last Fayetteville show will be August 9th (at Powerhouse) or July 28th (if you're like me and prefer JR's). Their last show with this lineup will be August 10th at Sticky Fingerz in Little Rock. I'm going to try to make as manyof these as I can and you should too. As far as I know, I'll still be managing their website even after the move.
TechCamp 2001 starts tomorow. I'm ready to roll and will be teaching a brief segment on PowerPoint 2000 and a longer one on Flash 5. I'm looking forward to it.

I've logged in here a few times but have then stared blankly at the window w/o knowing what to say (or where to begin). There's a lot going on in my life right now, but most of it isn't worth discussing here. I'm working hard to make sure the group of students I'll have on campus next week has a good time and learns a lot. Teaching is the easy part for me. It's all this preparation (to make sure the instructors I've hired get paid and that everyone has food to eat) that's the hard part. I'll likely be doing that into the evening and all day Sunday. I'd also be doing it all day Saturday, but Nancy has a show in Conway.
The vet is putting a heart monitor on my dog, Josie, today. It will record heart information (EKG-style) for a 24-hour period, so they can figure out what's going on with her. We hope for the best, of course, though it's hard not to fear the worst.

I just noticed that these cheezy guys are a band called "Wheat." I haven't heard them yet. I do recall seeing them listed at the CMJ New Music Festival 1999 (the year I played it with The Tares. I figured they weren't still around, but they are. This means that if I ever get the time to record my first solo project, I'll have to call it "Wheatbread" rather than "Wheat" (which is what I was planning on anyway)--that is if I don't decide on somethign else all together. Decissions, decissions...

Made several updates to nancyband.com (including a nice PHP/MySQL polling script that lets you vote for your favorite song from our CD). More is in the works, of course.

Okay, it took longer than I had wanted, but WheatBlog is finally available (along with a working demo). It's the first of several wheatapps that I'm going to be offering. Each one is a small open source web application that you're free to download and use on your own server. A link back is appreciated, but not required. (Note: Just to confuse matters, I named my content management system WheatBlog even though this blog you are reading goes by a very similar name).
I'm going to try to get at least one more WheatApp up tonight (there are about five so far). But first I need to do some work on the Nancy site.

Today, my father moved from the geriactric-psyc unit to a nursing/retirement facility here in Fayetteville. It seems like a nice place. It was definately the best of the ones my sister, Gina, and I looked at last week. He was a little confused at first, but we had lunch with him today to help make him feel more at home.
I'm trying out some brighter colors on the text of this blog and my entire site. Hope they make things easier to read. The latest redesign of saturn.org is a joy to behold. The same goes for haughey.com. Simple doesn't have mean boring.
Plans for the weekend: clean house, do the dishes, walk the dog, finish the redesign for nancyband.com, learn as much Flash as is humanly possible.

All of the stuff hosted at wheatdesign.com (which includes the homepages for The Tares, Nancy as well as the BassBook, the rec.music.makers.bass FAQ file, and other assorted projects) gets, colletively, about 10,000 page views per month. At least half of that is generated by the BassBook, which has been around since 1996. I've never made a single dollar off of the BassBook and I've never ran any advertising banners on any of my sites. So when I created an account with the Amazon Honor System a few hours ago, it was with some trepidation. So now, in exchange for a not-entirely ugly box on my page, you can make a voluntary donation to keep sites like the BassBook free. Am I a whore or what?

I'm releasing he first beta version of WheatBlog today (v.01b). I tried in vain to get it quickly released using the packaging tools at Sourceforge, so I'm going to upload it to my personal account and link it from there as soon as I can get the databases and tables created (I worked on it for a little while, but something still isn't right).
A little over a month ago (June 3rd, to be exact) I got an email from my high school sweetheart, Lisa, whom I lost touch with sometime prior to 1995 (not sure exactly when). We had a good time catching up on things, and with the miracles of modern technology, I think we'll be able to stay in touch (god bless email--the best invention since letter writing). Anyway, Lisa stumbled across this blog and thought she deserved a mention (and she does) so here it is. :)
Also to be filed in the "long lost" department, I've recently been in contact with my birth-father, Tawn Rose. When I first met Vicki, she passed his email address along to me and we exchanged a few messages. But we really didn't talk much until recently, when he too stumbled across this blog and heard that my dad (that being my adoptive father, Jack) was ill. He called me on the telephone about that and we've exchanged a few emails since then. In fact, I'm probably going to be helping him to launch a web site for a new magazine he's publishing (he publishes magazines for CPAs dealing with software. His last one, CPA Software News has been going for a long time and is very respected in it's field). He's also looking into helping me find a publisher for the BassBook. So I'm going to buy a copy of Finale and work up some nice standard notation + tab music examples for it.

Long train coming...: Yesterday, I finally received the certificate for my Master of Arts degree in English. I felt pretty proud of myself for about ten minutes. Now that chapter of my life is (thankfully) behind me. If I ever start a Ph.D. (in anything), slap me.
Today I've started streamlining the WheatBlog CMS app for its first beta release (maybe next week). The code is in much better shape than I thought.

I decided to try runnin X windows on top of Cygwin. I got it running (with the default window manager, twm). I also downloaded a few other window managers, but running X programs on top of Cygwin is fairly slow on my Win98 box. It was a fun experiment, but for me Cygwin is better utilized as at the command line. But here's a screenshot for your pleasure.

I worked up a little page today to showcase my PHP/MySQL web apps (as soon as I find time to polish them all up). I'm calling them, collectively, WheatApps (my ego sometimes knows no bounds). So far, there are four or five of them and I have a new one in the works. I'll have them up (with working demos and downloadable code) soon.
Today, I continued the hunt for a decent nursing home for my father. He'll be discharged from the hospital next Friday. And I need to find a good place for him. I liked one of the three we visited today. I'm going to try to hit three more tomorow. Take my advice: put some money aside for the future (and keep the payments up on your health insurance). You can have a nice pad in midtown Manhattan for the cash it takes to share a room with a stranger in a typical nursing home in the midwest.

Gina and I had a happy fourth of July with fireworks and the whole nine yards. Someone on metafilter said the fourth is an excuse for unabashed nationalism. The poster was probably right. But nations can probably do with one day a year devoted to that.
I have a lot of improvements in mind for many of the sites I manage but I haven't had much time to code lately. I'd love to take a week off of work and do nothing but freshen up everything. My WheatBlog project (a PHP/MySQL content management application) has been on the back burner for months. And with what I've learned in the interim, I'm considering rolling it from scratch. But it really is a good start, so I probably won't do anything that extreme. I have several other small things ready to go but no time to impliment them.
I'm going nursing home shoping tomorow with my wife and sister. We need to find a place in Fayetteville for my dad, who is currently at a short-term treatment facility here in town. He's doing better, actually, but his stay there is less a matter of rehabilitation than of damage control. It's also been a time of adjustment and reframing for me and for everyone close to him. Dad has some form of dementia (probably of the Alzheimer's type) and also (possibly) Parkinson's disease (an affliction which his oldest sister also had).
On a happier note, I ripped mp3s of several Tares tracks that I recorded with the band during my stint as their bass player. None of these versions will appear on the new album (assuming it actually surfaces sometime). I'm considering adding them to the bands page. I might have a chance to do that tommorow. I'm also working on editing some live tracks from two Nancy shows that we played earlier this year. I bummed a minidisc player from a friend and have dumped most of it into SoundForge. Now I just need to find two or three good tracks and export them to mp3s (that's one more thing to add to my list).

Today has been a good day. I spent some time in the classroom teaching a group of Upward Bound students how to create presentations with PowerPoint and how to edit down their graphics files with Photoshop. It felt good to be teaching again (even just a one-shot seminar) and I did a good job of it. Sometimes I get so stressed out that I forget to take pride in the things I do well.
David, the other computer guy here, paid me high compliaments on my OPRT web application (the UB/UBMS Online Progress Reporting Tool). He said he's leaned a lot from looking at the code and was greatful that I'm commented the hell out of it. He said he was amazed at what I'd managed to pull off in that app in only 88 hours of production time. It made me smile. I'll have screenshots and a demo eventually. Right now, it's all password protected.
Geek out: Cygwin is an API and a set of ported apps that lets you run a Unix/Linux-style operating system on top of your crappy Windows 98 (or whatever) that you're still using for whatever reason. I got it originally so I could use navigate my Win32 file system using Unix commands rather than DOS commands (and if you come to DOS from a Unix background, you'll know why I'd want to do that). First, I looked into some small collections of Unix utilities ported to Win32 (things like "ls" and "more" and path translators that turn "c:\whatever\whatever\foo.txt" into something useful. I was scared of Cygwin at first because I figured it would be slow, but it's not. It's a pleasure. It's a quick download, a quick install, and it makes me smile every time I'm fire it up. I found out today that you can run X Windows on top of it (and KDE on top of that, if you're brave), so I'm going to look into that sometime soon. Until I can afford enough hard drive space and ram to run Vmware, this is going to work just fine (and, hell, it's GPL, so I might just keep on using it).

Good news (for a change): The kind sysadmins at comp.uark.edu (the home of personal home pages at uark.edu) has decided to up all of our quotas from the measly eight or ten MB up to a whopping 100 MB! This means the mp3 files that I had to take down due to lack of space on my privately hosted account can go back up (and, in fact, I can use that extra space at comp to add more of them). I no longer have any web pages hosted on comp, other than meta-refresh pointers to pages that are now at wheatdesign, so there's plenty of space again. Suddely, it feels like the early days of the internet: which six meg seemed like more than enough space to host anything you needed to host.
More to come...
