Open Source Projects /
Its no secret that I’m someone that likes to multitask things into the ground. I pride myself on being able to hold 3 conversations at once without getting lost, or being able to work on up to 4 computers at once.
At the same time, my brain is always thinking of ways to make things easier. At the moment, I’m currently in charge of an Open Source Project called RBE (Resume Builder Engine). Basically a Monster clone for small to mid-sized businesses. While I’ve been working on the DB layout and such for almost 8 months now, I do it when I have time. A lot of the planning and layout is design aspects - everything from how the DB tables layout and relate all the way down to how the application looks to a visitor. I’m about to really start pushing for it to be functional pretty soon. If all goes well, since I’ll have a lot of time free at work soon, I’ll have an Alpha copy of it by the end of August.

The Error
The template worked perfectly fine when testing it with my local copy of MSAS 4.5.2, but my domain just didn’t like it. After creating the zip file, uploading and all that junk, I got:
XML setup file is not for a “template”.

Websites /
A long time ago, on a continent far, far away, I wrote a custom Content Management System (CMS) for a website in three weeks. Needless to say, when I closed the website, I decided I never wanted to do anything like that again..
After re-branding the website, setting up the template that I wanted to use and knowing what content I wanted, I decided it was time to start the daunting task of looking for a CMS. After a few hours, I just about gave up to recode one, but then I found OpenSourceCMS. This was a great website that allowed me to look over all kinds of Systems that had user reviews as well as reinstalled demo’s of each system they reviewed - talk about awesome! Continue reading…
