Halloween 2011 (Mike got me a pirate bandana in Bermuda!)

Insanity is a fun place.  I like to vacation there from time to time.  It has recently come to my attention, that I have been away for too long. A month or two back, I started some discussions with my good friend Jeremy/Remy/JJ/Jage/Whatever about a massive update / overhaul to the TRC Website.  Since then, I’ve been too dang busy to really put any thought into it.

<dramatic pause>

Until now. (this is where the insanity comes in)

I started thinking about this project again today.  Its something that really needs to be done, quite honestly. TRC was designed over 10 years ago, and since then its only had some minor updates, additions nailed onto the side, and a few new coats of paint.  We once attempted to rebuild it from the ground up. Well, we DID, but it didn’t look any different.  We kept the same look, just cleaned up all the code, which was still outdated.  Now, the site is horribly old, clunky, and outdated.  It needs more than just a facelift.

So, we’re going to do some stuff.  There is a lot in the works. I can’t even figure out how much quite yet, but its staggering.  Right now, I have one major dilemma staring me down.  Separate domains or sub-domains.  Right now, we got several domains.  trcmaine.org, milohistorical.org, threeriversnews.net, and milo.lib.me.us.  We’re already looking at one new domain.  www.threerivers.me  Isn’t it shiny?  My dilemma is whether to keep all the separate domains, or just move them to say news.threerivers.me, milolibrary.threerivers.me, so on and so forth.

Opinions?  Please?

And yes, its a completely unrelated photo.

I finally got on Google+ !  As of Friday, they opened it up to Google Apps users (finally).  I rejoiced.  Then I signed up.  Its pretty darn dull.  I have found very few people on it, and the few I did find are hardly using it.  I wanted to try out the Hangout feature, the thing with the multiple webcams, and nobody else was on.

So far, its turning out to be a disappointment.

The Thompson Free Library Website is now live!

http://www.thompson.lib.me.us/

I’ve started working on a new website! If you’d like to check out my progress, here’s the link.

Thompson Free Library

One $5 Apple Remote, and an install of a program called Plex, and I have a media center of doom!  Its one app, does everything.  Downloaded television, downloaded movies, music, picasawebpictures, iphoto, itunes, hulu, netflix, all the major networks, and more I haven’t even figured out yet!  Its intense.  I can watch TV, movies, all kinds of stuff now.  Its like having cable, but free!

Frustrated am I.  My Wordbooker thing is grabbing random pictures, and I can’t make it stop.  And it doesn’t seem to post any posts that I make from phone.  I’m pretty sure it used to….

I tried out another plugin, and it failed just as horribly.  Apparently I have the best already.  Guess I just gotta wait till it gets updated.  BLAH.

Mmmmmmm dinner.
