Man it's 1:50am and I have work in about 5 hours. It feels good to crunch in some major debugging when working on an app. haven't done something like this in some time. I got most of the kinks out of the template design converting a strictly XHTML/CSS/JS document over to something that is readable and workable in the app I am working on was a good challenge but like I said I have worked out most of the kinks.

Now that I have the design in place it's time to do the major coding now. Also a good idea to create a design, then build a simple foundation for the design and then add the things that need to be added ... kinda like what 37signals does ... it's the same way I have been doing my stuff since high school. The users experience is always more important then the features of an app if you can make it visually pleasing and yet simple to use then people will enjoy what you have made.

Also once you build a simple foundation you typically are open to changing the design more easily since the code has changed since you did the design so moving around the code will be the same from the first day you did it.

Okay time for bed I have more work to do tomorrow on the app for work.

Not me! I am working all day today. :) Upgrading the blog (to 2.0.5 and maybe a new look?) and working on a company project which I might be releasing out as open source with a MIT license ... still thinking about which license to use if I do decide to release the app I am working on.

What's the app? Well it's a simple catalog really but with some advance features. I am intergrating mootools into it :D and using a framework which ill work on any server and nothing extra will have to be installed on the server.

I have been reaching a lot of frameworks out there right now and I believe I found one that is perfect for what I need and I believe a majority of the people out there as well.

I will write more about it later on but right now I need to get ready heading out to Costa Mesa visting my dad.

Fusion Powered? What the heck?!?!?!

I have installed Vmware Fusion on my iMac Intel here @ work and I am currently installing Ubuntu 6.10 and it's painfully slow and from the looks of it ... it has locked up at validating zlib1g (17%) ... great!

Here is a screenshot of it:

This is nothing like the VMware we are used to on Windows or Linux it has a different feel to it. It's a beta I know but I thought they would stick to the same interface that is being used on the other OSes.

All I can say is it is a work in progress and it needs a lot of work :) . Now to try to install Fedora Core 6 :D . Will report on that once I attempt it ;) . Wouldn't install Fedora Core 6, it didn't find a hard drive and Windows XP Professional it installed just fine but it again painfully slow.

VMWare you will be hearing from me :D keep up the work though please.
