Huek Tdi

   This is it folks, this is the day. After three years of training, I am finally testing for my Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. Excited? Check. Nervous? Check. Confident? Double-Check. I'm finding it hard to really concentrate on any one thing today (Which is most likely why I'm writing a blog at the moment). Bottom line is, I'm ready for the test despite what the outcome may be. I'm pretty sure I'll pass, but in the case that I don't, I know it won't be the end of the world and I know I will have tried my hardest in the process. Tommorow, depending on time schedule, I will let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!

Getting Closer

   Ahhh, make it end already! I am so close do wrapping up my color belt training in Tae Kwon Do! It sounds like my test for first degree black belt may be at the end of Feburary. I'm not really complaining since that gives me more time to get my act together. However, I wish I had been a little more dilligent in December with it. I could have been done with it by now. I'm relatively anxious and getting quite sick of looking at all the material. Don''t get me wrong, I love TKD, but I'd love it more if I could just get myself to wrap this one test up. I went in to the gym today for a brief period of time to review some of my material. I feel pretty well about the beginner stuff and I am on orders to not look at anything else but beginner until Monday. I can't complain about the blinders one bit. Also, since when did I get out of breath so easily at Tae Kwon Do? Wow, Christmas Break took a lot out of me! Time to start excersizing.

Initiate!

Here's the home-brew blogging tool I've on-and-off been working on the past few months. It's got a few of the more popular web 2.0 features you find around the internet, such as RSS, tags and AJAX, as well as database options for the back-end. Here's a couple of the key features:

  • Simple, clean and efficient layout and design for the website's content administrator.
  • AJAX integration, making for an efficient and seamless enviroment.
  • Tags and Search functionality for help with finding a particular blog, checking popular topics or finding pictures.
  • RSS Feed for readers to subscribe to your latest writings.

For Developers, it is a simple ASP.net user control that you can drag and drop into the desired page. You have the option to either save the content to a SQL Database, or if one isn't available, you may save the data using the supplied XML DataSet. No code needs to be changed, just a simple toggle of your preference in the web.config file.
