Well I have had my nose buried deep in code lately only coming up for air occasionally. I have been busy at creating a new tool to be used for research and blogging. Currently you can use it to search Youtube, Flickr, Yahoo, Google, MSN Live, Amazon, Ebay, Google Product all on one page. I need to spend time revising my code to optimize it. I also have been working on methods that will allow the service to be faster through continued use. You will be able to create lists of information and embedded the information into an e-mail, text message or blog with one click. I have also made this application with mobile clients in mind. I have implemented SWX to make my methods easily available in Flash and Flash Lite (Although I have yet had time to build the interface). I also have plans to make this web site have not just one skin but a variety so the user can customize it and utilize it how he or she chooses. I am currently integrating Jabber IM and OpenID. I might open source this project but that will not be done anytime soon. I currently have an alpha available to see and I assure you; you are not seeing the best features it has because they will only be available when I am finished. I have also been thinking about using Amazons S3 and SimpleDB for greater scalability. Everything I have done here does implement REST web services. So this is what I have been up to and I have had a great deal of fun working on it along the way. I have also taught myself a variety of new skills in the process. So I will look forward to showing the public more as it becomes closer to being finished.
Lately I have also been preparing for our Wedding as well I will look forward to sharing the website with you soon.
I am now also a member of MSDN finally got my first MSDN developer magazine! The MSDN network is great for developers because it allows its members to download and play with any Microsoft Technology! Lately I have been experimenting with .NET 3.5 / MS Blend / SharePoint so I have been putting my MSDN subscription to good use:)
Mashup (web application hybrid), a web application that combines data and/or functionality from more than one source.
The next wave of web applications will use existing services to mix and match information. With web 2.0 you had AJAX and SOA. We now have many web pages that offer services to developers this allows us to consumer the information from those services on our websites! There is no need to reinvent the wheel. All we have to do is hitch a ride and develop some code that mixes those services. Even google is mashing their own content. Web 3.0 will also utilize mobile devices. Think about this you have a facebook event you map it with google maps and you have your phone remind you of the event.

Well I have been very busy working on my blogging engine. I have made great progress! The basic blogging engine is working and I am currently working on special features that utilize various apis… Think mash-up. I currently have many working examples. I will need to add a great deal of polish because it is still very rough but it is getting their! I can give you access if you request it. It will be a “web 3.0 application”..
I have also installed the gusty gibbon and it flys. It has the best support for graphics cards out of the box, I have ever seen on Linux. It is lightning fast and wonderful to use in general. So if you have not tried out ubuntu yet I strongly suggest giving it a try it. I thought Fiesty Fawn was great but the latest version of Ubnutu is by far the easiest to use and most efficient version yet.
