NASA World Wind is a program that I recently discovered while working on guestMap ideas. World Wind is an open-source program that NASA has created that allows the user to place different types of overlays on an extemely high quality globe of the Earth. The user can spin the globe and zoom in on the Earth at a street level.
Overlays include landmarks, borders, weather, hurricane paths, the Lewis and Clark trail, USGA maps, and many other downloadable add-ons. Since World Winds is open-source, add-ons have already started popping up on the internet. A [Read More]

Alright, alright. I know it took way to long for me to get around to updating guestMap, but I finally did it. Mainly, I put the code in process.php back into a function, inside a class due to the fact that IE has a problem with the code if it's not inside a function.
Still having a major issue with Firefox displaying the infowindow, so if anyone could give me a hand figuring that out, I would appreciate it greatly.
Take a look at my newest project over at www.pinnacleguild.com. This is the Everquest 2 guild that I am a member of.

My first trip to Uwharrie was last weekend. I planned to leave at 6am and make the 3 hour drive, and meet up with SORA by 10am. I got up about 2 hours late, took the doors off the Jeep, loaded Raz in the back, and headed out. I didn't grab a jacket or gloves, but I did have a sweatshirt. Amazingly enough, it quickly turned into a "Thompson Vacation." It was about 45 degrees out, so Raz(my faithful sidekick) and I froze the whole way up there.
The trip up there went quick. Mapquest must not know that Hwy 74 is being turned into Interstate 74 so most of the trip was on a [Read More]

We started work today on a custom module for Copper Project. Copper Project is a PHP/MySQL project/client/employee management web application. The code is written in a manner that would suggest that the creators intended to allow users to write custom modules.
After spending all day today trying to find basic parts of the code, I have come to the realization that either the creators don't want it to be easy to make a module, or they want it to be impossible. I have written modules before for web applications such as [Read More]
Southern Offroad 4wd Association is headed to Uwharrie National Forest this weekend. SORA is a fairly local club that we will be wheeling with this weekend. The trails are about 3 hours from where we live, so Katie isn't looking forward to the drive.
Knife of Dreams, the next book in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series comes out today. You can find more information about the series at the largest fan-based website [Read More]

Today is my first day back to work since the surgery. So far the car ride here was the hardest part since the pain medication I am taking seems to make me motion sick at the drop of a hat. Other than that, everything at work is pretty normal. We'll soon be getting a web marketer(whatever that is).
Still looking into why guestMap hasn't appeared on Google when someone searches for "guestMap". I should be able to get a new version released by the end of next week. As you can see from my demo map I have added linking of marks and I have a good amount of backend coding that has been updated.

I found a great tutorial for easily adding a calendar to your blog system. Luckily, I planned ahead for adding a calendar so I have been inserting dates along with the blogs that I make. The tutorial can be found at Zend's website. I am still having problems linking the calendar to the blogs, but it does create and draw the calendar with no problem.
As you can see I haven't changed anything about the calendar from the tutorial, but I will be rewriting it soon to reference the blog id instead of the blog date to create the links from the calendar.
I went to the doctor on Monday because I was having stomach pains. After 10 minutes of them poking my stomach and looking at tests they had run last week, they decided I needed to be admitted to the hospital to have my gallbladder removed.
So yesterday at 3pm I had my gallbladder removed. Everything went well. They only made 4, 1/2" cuts on my lower chest. Recovery time should be a week or so.
We are still planning on going to Uhwarrie later this month for the 2nd annual "Fall Crawl". The Jeep did well at the beach last weekend. Still need help putting on the 1" body lift, but that will have to wait until my stomach heals.

Well, as you can see, TBD has a new look and feel. Since I am a web developer by trade, I am constently looking for ways to impove my own site. I recently got ahold of Dreamweaver 8 and Adobe Photoshop CS2. Both of these pieces of software are must haves for anyone that does graphic design or web design.
If you are here and the site is kinda broken, just check back later in the day and I'm sure you will find what you are looking for.

I've been fighting with IE and FF for a couple days now, trying to get a JavaScript "onChange" to work. I wanted a table of employees to be automaticly updated when someone selected an option from a form drop down menu. I had no problem getting it to work in one or the other browser, but never in both browsers at the same time.
After searching around the net for a way to get this done, I finally found the correct way to get the job done in both IE and FF. By simply putting a 'onChange="Javascript:document.form1.submit()"' in the <select> tag, the form will automaticly submit the [Read More]
