Tim Ginn’s Personal Blog

My mother’s website is up now. It’s Marion’s Doll Clothes (she’s been updating it a little bit each day for the past couple of weeks). Today I set it up to use Paypal for her and did a test purchase from my account. The site is powered by Zen Cart, which is a nifty free Open Source shopping cart thing. So, with that site up and running (and Mom being able to do maintenance) that’s one big thing off my TODO list. If you’re interested in hand made doll clothes or fabric that can be purchased by the meter I suggest you check it out (of course, I’m obviously biased :-)).

Well, I’m ready for select people to start testing some of the new FIRST Blogs features. For those of you who read this blog, Here’s a sneak peak at one feature (topics for organisation). Those of you who have been invited to test the new stuff can create your own topic / reading list (which has an RSS feed associated with it, too), so, you can choose only those blogs/topics you’re interested in and subscribe to them all at once. If anyone wants in on the testing let me know.

Since my last update I’ve started full time work throughout the week. I’ve written my first essay for English 110 (I faxed it in on Wednesday). I’ve been working on the Queen’s Orientation Week 2006 website (at the time of my writing this the new copy isn’t up yet; but, I have submitted it to be posted). COMPSA stuff is going well; though, it’s difficult to do certain types of things when I’m not in Kingston. I haven’t made much progress on the FIRST Blogs TODO list; but, hopefully will this long weekend.
