The madness begins again

I finally finished the new site. WELCOME! Though, I never reached the goal I set out to accomplish, which was to pretty much create my own custom CMS from scratch. Much to even my own surprise, I got it a bit more than halfway finished and it was shaping up pretty well.
But then Mr. Murphy decided to pay a few visits to me. My work schedule jumped from 20 hours per week to over 38. While this was in the summer and I wasn’t taking any classes, I still had the rest of my schedule filled up with activities. Needless to say, I had literally no free time on my hands anymore.
At this point, I’m back to a 20 hour/wk work schedule, but the fall semester has once again come back. I’m not taking a full term, so I do actually have free time, but for the time being, I just gave up on the project. It was consuming too much of my time and I wanted free time away from the computer for a change. And I wanted to actually get back to doing a good amount of phpBB support work.
So I have given up on that endeavor for the time being. I still have the source code and all of the documentation I wrote for it (mainly for myself since I tend to for get things 5 minutes after I code them). I learned a lot, got a ton more experience, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. But it just wasn’t practical.
That brings me to Drupal, which is the new CMS for the site. Honestly, the coding scheme and technique is a piece of crap and definately not my style, but it certainly gets the job done. And it’s relatively easy to customize once you figure your way around the code a bit, which proved to be a difficult task to say the least.
Regardless, I’ll definately be posting much more often. Hopefully at least 3-4 times per week. I have a lot more to say now than I ever did before.
It’ll be fun.
