I’ve been in the Software Development realm for about 5 years, and it has been along time since I’ve actually looked back at the theory behind the whole life of Software Development in general. Every now and again you just go back to the books just to check yourself and make sure that you are still on track.

Found a nice blog post revisiting Boehm’s Spiral Model to Software Development.

Just 1(one) link that I found that is quite informative for someone looking or investigating abit further into Sharepoint technologies.

Wow, how I wish I had time to play around with the Google Visualization API.

Today, after briefly watching the the following video, I was really itching in getting my hands dirty in creating gadgets that one can use to represent data in an Google Docs Excel sheet.

So many things to do, and so little time.

Last night I decided that It’s been quite a while since I’ve done some PHP or basic web development and decided to at last look into what Joomla Templates are all about. I’ve been working with other CMS(Content Management System) frameworks lately like the enterprise solution WSS(1|2) and MOSS 07, but always have had this love for open source and the LAMP implementation. Obviously Joomla and WSS/MOSS are in totally different categories, Joomla is excellent for personal and small business use and better for public facing internet sites, where I see WSS/MOSS for intranet and intranet collaboration although it can easily be an open site as well, at a cost that is.

Anyways, to get back to the Joomla Templates and how they work etc. I quickly did a Google search to find out where to begin and how to learn exactly what goes on behind the scenes when one selects a template, where are the files stored and how it is made to be easily moved from one implementation to another.

The first Google ResultI found gave me a tutorial on Joomla’s site and I started going through this tutorial as I saw it as the most authoritative as it was on the Joomla domain.

You can almost call this tutorial a CSS tutorial instead of the Joomla tutorial. At the end of the tutorial I knew how to create my own templates and the basic functionality of it. But more importantly, I learnt so much about neat CSS tricks to get simple stuff done in really cool ways.

I suggest taking 45 minutes and just reading through the whole tutorial, you could maybe learn something, I certainly did.

Yesterday I went past one of my friends on my way home to pick up some DVDs, one of which I was itching to watch again was Hackers(1995) . One of my favourite movies.

So, Cindy and myself watched it last night in bed. Wow - brings back so many good memories from when I was in school - haha. Being a “Geek” since when I was 6 this really was a movie that appealed to me.

And Angelina Jolie was not even that famous yet. And the soundtrack with Voodoo People(Prodigy), Halcyon & On & On(Orbital) and One Love(Prodigy) was really awesome!
