Epic New Website

Wow, I have been so busy actually making the website, I forgot to tell the world about it.  Of course, it isn't done yet, the hardest part is still to come.  Basically, I (with graphic help from x986123) made a website to host stories for my friends and myself.  It is farely basic, but looks really good.  I am happy to see it is almost complete.  The entire thing came together with the visuals, so I am very happy to have that done!

Now, with the adding of content, things will get a move on it.  I am working on the best way to make that happen.  Ideas, ideas...

New Site Idea

This idea has probably been done a thousand times.  But you know what?  I don't care.  I was outside thinking of the many stories I am currently writing, and thought how terrrible it is that most of the never reach an audience besides the person I write them for.  Most are short stories that get read once, never again.  But I still have a lot of fun writing them.  So, I thought, why don't I make a website where the stories would stay, and people could come and read them?  And at that point I got excited and started thinking of ways I could have other people upload their own stories, so everyone could read lots of stories.  Kinda like Deviant.  However, as I thought more, and the project grew, I decided that I just don't have the time to do all of it.  So I will lug it away in the back of my mind (or this blog) and come back to the idea when I have more time.  Who knew summer vacation would be such a busy time?!

Website

I am hunting for people who know how to code PHP/ROR/Javascript or any other web scipting langauge.  I need you for a website I am working on.  I have the ideas, but I can't make the entire site on my own, so I am going to delegate.  If you know someone or can help, post a comment and I will get to you.

Ruby (on Rails)

So, I popped onto IM one day, and I was looking for a person. This person knows a lot about computers, and I know he could help me out to get started. Started on what? On a website. But not just any "Look at my rabbit Bill! He eats lettuce!" website, no, this will be a fully interactive powerful website which has a purpose, and it isn't to show the world my rabbit. I won't go into details now, but it will involve a logging in system, with different levels of access, and it will involve a "Digg" like system. After talking with my friend for a while, he told me the only way I will be able to get this to work is if I used Ruby on Rails. Ruby is a programming language, and a very good one at that. The "on Rails" part is there because Ruby on Rails is a web development language, and a powerful one at that. But it also isn't that hard to learn, so i won't be working my arse off just to type a few lines of code. Check it out, you might learn something. I already have.
