The new version of the Aggregator plugin for e107 is now online on inBlogs, I may be releasing the plugin to the e107 community soon depending on what bugs I come across and demand. Still need to figure out how to set up a cron-job for SimplePie so it keeps the cache up to date so users don’t have to wait for page’s to load.

Also it was my birthday last week, which finally allowed me to have my first legal alcoholic drink (or two??). Not been able to buy my own yet, need to get some ID sorted out.

I am currently outside sitting on the old furniture that was replaced a week ago (it’s better than the wooden bench.). I’m searching Mac websites for any information about discounts for students in Apple Retail stores, I am hoping to be the proud owner of a brand new iMac this saturday. A late birthday present from my mom. I am hoping I can get a iPod Touch with the £85 rebate, seems like I can looking at topics on forums.

Only 5 days after getting it I will be heading down to the Isle of Wight to see my Dad, hopefully I will be able to show off my iPod Touch in first class.

Its starting to rain, better get inside before my MacBook gets drowned. I promise I will try and update this blog more, had alot of new projects starting and a few old ones getting back onto my must-do list.

If you have visited this blog before then you will notice I have added a new site to the screenshot area above. This site was created in a pretty short amount of time, although some features still need to be completed the main community side of things are working and been used by members.

I have gotten pretty good feedback about the site, which is always nice. Especially as I don’t usually like my designs and end up changing them within a few weeks. This one I feel as if its suitable for the site and works well for what the site aims to be.

I have been taking a break to work on this site, and now its semi finished I will be getting back to the Aggregator plugin. I am also actively seeking a full time job focusing on XHTML + CSS. Whether I find a job and actually get one is another matter.

I will try and update this blog more frequently, but if work needs to be done it will take priority.

Finally I have been able to do some work on my own projects. I have managed to install a plugin onto Macommand that will keep it updated for me automatically, so far so good. I have also managed to do some more work on the ever growing Aggregator plugin.

I also spent the weekend cleaning my Macbook from clutter, easiest way was to install OS X again and install all the programs I need etc. So now I have a nice new shiny desktop free of clutter, until Leopard comes out anyway.
