Spent some time giving the homepage a new look. I much prefer the earth-tones colour scheme, and I decided that I needed to have a "what's new" dynamic front page to let everyone who's interested know what I've been up to.


I'm hoping that I can keep track of maintenance and other spare time issues here, as opposed to on the enfusion-group homepage, where no one would care.


Hopefully, I'll be able to keep track of things I do, and maybe even write some documentation and HOWTO's.

Well, I'm thinking hard about whipping together an inventory system for all the computer parts we have. It would allow me to keep track of serial numbers, where parts are, and what's left over that I should have somewhere.


Anyways, I haven't started yet, but that should be interesting. Then I could auto-generate the hardware listing per computer that's currently hardcoded.


Off to the market today, to do some shopping, and see what's new!

Starting to write some code for the inventory system I've been dreaming up. The goal is to have an inventory system that ties hardware parts to systems, and tracks each part's history, serial number, warranty info, etc. There are a few systems out there, but they're all a little too heavy weight for what I want. So, I started to write my own. Using PHP -- did I mention that PHP has terrible object-oriented programming constructs? Things like it supports function overloading, but not multiple constructors...


Anyways, I've written the host management side of system, which allows input of basic information for each host that has parts in it.


More to come...
