I wasn’t able to meet with my mentor this week, because of scheduling conflicts, but perhaps we’ll meet tomorrow or next week sometime. I have been, however, busy with a lot of auxiliary web development projects.
The first is my personal website, which will function as a blog and portfolio and business card and laboratory test bed. It will essentially be all my character posted online, content coming from several sources — including external RSS feeds which will be parsed using PHP XML processing routed through WP plugins, linked into the program’s core — and being aggregated on one site. That site I’ve been putting a lot of work into, because it will be what I hope to use as advertising my services to the world (and perhaps I can make money off of selling ad space on the site itself).
The second is a website for a local filmmaker, which is now completely done and online at http://nervtubeproductions.com. Eric Goldberg so nicely agreed to, in exchange for me doing his website for free, film a screenplay I’ve been working on. So now, he gets a brand-new website (which uses a lot of jQuery, something new I’ve been playing with and haven’t really gotten into lately), and I get a completely produced short film!
Maybe I’ll enter it in some contests.
I found him on the barter section of craigslist, which I’ve been browsing pretty regularly now. Does it make me an anarchist to reject the use of legal tender?
The third project is a project for the Nobelity Project — I will end up probably making a few different websites for them, and earning service hours in the process. I think taking non-profit efforts to the web can really benefit a lot of people, and I hope to help Nobelity move in that direction.
