It's been nearly two years since I built this site and it still said hello world here. Oh well...anyway like it says I'll just post "status" updates here. Twitter is overrated anyway...besides who really wants to follow my mundane life that closely.

4/2/2009: I am working early so I can go to a gourmet "Whiskey Roundtable"" dinner at a local Indianapolis fine food and spirits retailer and restaurateur, Vine and Table. The dinner will consist of four courses each accompanied by specially selected single malt from the Gordon & MacPhail line of spirits. This will include Little Mill, Benromach Organic, Glenesk, Ardmore, and a mystery rare dram after the dinner.

4/1/2009: Finally got the Helicon ISAPI Rewrite3 installed on Synovia's web server. Combined with the UrlRewriting.net rewrite module (for web servers running ASP.NET) I am able to achieve the same type of rewriting tricks Nathan was doing over at Klipsch for the Mirage and Energy web sites...

3/10/2009: My former supervisor at Klipsch informs me that my last web project (that I completed just before the lay-offs) just went live, finally. Sort of a posthumous honour so to speak. It is a "semi-static" (but still completely ASP.NET / MSSQL / business objects dynamic) legacy site for the discontinued Klipsch Group brand "athena TECHNOLOGIES", check out the site: www.athenaspeakers.com. Essentially I took the former standing PHP site (which we didn't have the source code for and that was out on a remote hosted server that we didn't own) and pulled all the content off of it, images, PDF, text, etc... Then I performed some PhotoShop surgery on the content images and came up with my own site layout (based loosely on the Mirage website). I then executed it with a layer and css based dynamic ASP.NET site using business objects. I think it turned out pretty well.
