I am really pumped! I have made my blog based on Blogger (hence the logo below) and integrated it into phpwcms. Well I really didn't have to do much to add it except mess with the template and include it for the article text but still I think it really works well. Also, eventually I should be able to make the editor actually edit the blog as well. I think I would like to have a script to transform the atom feed to rss and a vice versa. I have been reading a little on the subject and it looks like many people are not a fan of atom while others are diligent devotees. I can't really say I have an opinion on this since from what I have seen most news readers will read both just fine.

The next thing I really need to get done is the plugin system. I made some progress but I need to get on the stick and get something really working. Time has not been on my side and I have just been so busy. I am pretty tired of going to bed at 4 am and waking up around 8:30 am. Someday I can ease it up a bit and actually sleep.

On the music front I have been talking to Anna from Hands Up and she wants to put out a record. This is really great news because I really think she will do her best to advertise and make a go of things as far as making a label go. It is also nice to work with someone who is very kind and caring to boot so all in all I think it will be a good combo. Also, I have a bunch of UME demo songs up in the download area. They are all oggs so enjoy the free file format while it last because I will probably take them off at some point.

On the work front I am getting a few projects finsihed this weekend which is good but I still have other projects coming up which will take quite a bit of time. I hope I can find work as well over the summer, since we will be in houston rocking and not really working so I will need to pay the bills somehow. I think we also might be able to get a sublet for our apartment so that will help a ton. I almost forgot, Nittany Lion Wrestling Club will be using phpwcms come May when their current hosting contact runs out. This is exciting because they will move to a new host (Linux of course) where I can run phpwcms for them. This will save them a bunch of money (i.e. read as lose me a bunch of money) and it will make their site updateable and manageable in the future. This is always good to do for a customer.
