Silliness in Siebel

Chalupa, Part 3

There goes the diet.

Been at Siebel for about 9 hours.

Instead of looking at the business-related “documentation” I’ve accumulated over the past couple of days (I cannot believe how useful my Entrepreneurship class notes packet is…), I’ve decided to go and wear the coding hat again.

More and more, I see these two natures battling within me. I really want to be able to wear the two hats well… do I really have to pick? Can’t I be both?

To-Do List: Blog

Few ideas that are running through my head that I can’t implement until I’m done with “work” work.

  • Delete ALL old Xanga posts

  • Would much rather want the readers to go through the site at joshkim.org rather than going through Xanga

  • Lots of extra metadata that could be used for the readers (relevant posts, popular posts) going to waste if Xanga is used

  • Xanga/Facebook as a “platform”, and nothing more

  • Recode Croissanga to implement deletion of all posts through cURL.

  • Make partial posts show up at both Xanga and Facebook

  • Didn’t realize that posts on Facebook were linking to Xanga

  • If reader wanted to comment, he or she would have to go to Xanga, only to go to joshkim.org

  • I didn’t think this one through… sorry guys!

  • Make only the top 3 partial posts available

  • Full posts ALWAYS for full feed subscribers, but to encourage feed usage… and to discourage dependence on the “platforms”

  • Facebook will now be using an alternate feed from feedburner, Xanga will be using a modified version of Croissanga, which I will post the code to later

  • Redesign

  • Create my own template, Restructure categories, Retag, Upload old blogs, Fix broken image/links from old posts

  • This one’s going to take a LONG while…

Just thinking about doing these things… makes me excited. Need to find the time… oh, time… why do you run away from me?
