Jeeze. It's really been a while. Two months instead of the normal one month intervals. I had a good holiday break, and got lots done. In the past two months, we recorded 15,000 page views and added about 1,000 pieces of content. See MediaWiki.
Tecker (http://tecker.net) the social question and answer service aimed at tech users is doing really well. We are expanding small, we have about 50 users now. We were featured on net@nite episode 8. net@nite is a weekly call-in show about new technology websites ("Web 2.0") hosted by TechTV's Leo Laporte. net@nite is part of the TWiT podcast network. The TWiT podcast was recently rated as #9 on TIME's top podcast list [1]. As always stay tuned at our development blog at http://blog.tecker.net/.
I am also creating a new derivative, Conflicter (http://conflicter.org). Conflicter is a place for frank discussions on global issues. This is being done in conjunction with my Cultures Project. The site has languished, but I will finish it eventually.
Tecker 911, the video technology help webcast is coming along nicly. The first 4 episodes are up at http://911.tecker.net and are starting to be aired on Channel 11 in Haverford Township. The show is coming along nicely, now I just need to find the time to edit three more episodes already filmed and edit the unboxing of my new cameraphone.
Speaking of busy, I am really swamped. End of the semester is comming up at the end of the year and that means all of the teachers are dumping work on us, finals to study for, and final projects to do. See my groups paper on Globalization. The World Cultures Portfolio also is a nightmare of work.
In addition, the build season for our FIRST robotics club, Team 484 started recently. That is three nights I week. Well, I guess I will make it.
PS. I don't know what happened to the photo section. I think it kinda died. Sorry. I think I will take it off the homepage now ;)
My friend (and Tecker partner), Michael Gdovin, has launched his business, w3life (http://w3life.com) and his personal website Gdovin.net (http://gdovin.net) two months ago. Not much has happened, but check it out.

Site News editNew Minisites Index Page - I have transported from Geocities, my mini websites from 5th and 8th Grade MediaWiki is now reporting times in the Eastern Time Zone. However, DST time is not taken into account, so currently the times are one hour delayed. --Plaz 14:13, 16 April 2006 (EDT) I have categorized all of school reports. See Special:Categories for all categories, or see Category:School List of work that I have posted the grade I have recieved. See: Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Grade% and Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Grade I got a new scanner! This one is in my room, so it should be much easer to scan papers and post them here. That means more of my work posted on ThePlaz.com --Plaz 19:35, 14 May 2006 (EDT) New Homepage I borrowed from [5] It took my three hours and a little CSS to transfer it. What do you think? Tell me! --Plaz 18:49, 17 May 2006 (EDT) Site now running Media Wiki 1.6.5 --Plaz 18:49, 17 May 2006 (EDT) I uploaded a lot of stuff I did for Western Civ. Only 3 more projects, and I will have all of the typed work uploaded. --Plaz 21:47, 18 May 2006 (EDT)
I re-arrannged the Homepage by subject. It was just too hard to find stuff. --Plaz 21:37, 21 May 2006 (EDT) I am testing a drop-down menu in the Sitenotice area. So if you see something weird at the top of the page, it isn't working yet. --Plaz 21:37, 21 May 2006 (EDT) I changed around and built a template system using the round (in Firefox) to match the Main Page style and hopefully the new skin I might build over the summer. --Plaz 17:18, 5 June 2006 (EDT) I added new file icons for .doc (Word) files. I had to change the PHP code to get them to display, and then I changed the custom themed file type icons to ones based off Nuvola icons They are like the ones I use on the main page. What do you think? --Plaz 17:18, 5 June 2006 (EDT) I am done uploading all of my typed work from 9th Grade. School is almost over!--Plaz 11:15, 11 June 2006 (EDT) Did you see that at the top of the page. Show/Hide is working!!!!!!!!!!!--Plaz 20:28, 14 June 2006 (EDT) The drop down Nav bar is finally working! I only got some subjects to work yet. Others may come at some point, but are held up because of a bug. --Plaz 18:27, 25 June 2006 (EDT) I changed the redirect page when you type in "ThePlaz.com" to be faster and more handheld and search engine friendly. I also added a CSS rule to make the sitenotice drop downs not appear on handheld and mobile devices. (Hopefully) --Plaz 16:42, 9 October 2006 (EDT) New listing of old site updates, I've posted. --Plaz 17:58, 9 October 2006 (EDT) There may be delays lasting up to two weeks between the day the work is assigned, and the day it is posted because of a backlog. This blacklog is likely to continue because it makes uploading more efficient.--Plaz 17:27, 30 November 2006 (EST) |
