Life & Updates
Well, its been a bit since my last post and I think its time for another update. I'm still looking for a job, haven't had any luck finding much yet. Might have a part time job lined up until something else works out though, so that's good 
On the other hand, I've had some time to work on dev.php-oop.net So far its been mainly backend work, so there's not a lot more to show for it, but I've taken some time to implement a new password hashing using crypt and blowfish. I'm also trying to work on the password reset form to make it work better. Currently it just resets the password, but I want it to e-mail the user, then the user must click a link before the password is actually reset.
On the other hand, my jogging is going well. I'm not keeping up with it as good as I would like, but I have managed to go as far as 3 miles in one time. I also went this past Sunday and jogged with my friend, we both ran to see how fast we could do a mile and half. I managed to run it in 12 minutes and 51 seconds! I just hope I can keep doing it and keep running further. I would like to participate in a marathon sometime soon as well. I'm also, starting this week, lifting weights with the weight set I just got moved in. I'm hoping between that and running, I can make up for the last few years of my life that I just haven't tried anything to get into shape. Hopefully I'm making up for lost time at this point
Life & Changes
Well... things have been changing in my life lately. I've had to move back to my home town and look for a job in the Kansas City area. I'm currently living in a house my parents own until I can get a job and a place of my own. Kelsey had to move back in with her parents for the time being until sometime in late January or early February of next year. Its hard on both of us, but we'll make it through it. I'm currently looking for employment in the St. Joseph, MO or Kansas City area, so if anyone knows of anything, please feel free to let me know.
On another note, with the lack of work I've had lately, its given me time to work on php-oop.net again. I've actually been working with the dev site to get things going. I started with a total rewrite because I wanted to take a totally different approach to the back end of the site. I didn't want to use a framework, but I wanted the same structure. I wound up using my own SiTech library for the back end to make it more MVC like. I think the approach is working wonderfully. I've learned new things and made tweaks to SiTech to improve functionality and how it all ties together. If anyone is interested in participating with either SiTech or the development of php-oop.net, please let me know. I could always use some extra help.
A couple of other things I'm trying to do more/better is writing in my blog, and jogging each day. This is the first post after a while, so we'll see how that part goes, but the jogging is already going great! I started Monday (the 19th) by jogging almost 3/4th of a mile. I can say that Tuesday, my legs were so sore that it killed me! Wednesday I went jogging again, but I'm not really sure how far I made it. Thankfully after that my legs weren't as sore, but still hurt Thursday. Yesterday (Friday) I went jogging again and actually made it a full mile! Since we ran on a track, I also did a lap of sprint/jog where I sprinted the straight parts, and jogged through the corners. It was really great, and I'm happy to say today my legs don't hurt at all. Hopefully next week I'll be able to push it up to where I can go every day instead of every other day.
Well, here's to hoping things go as planned... I'll update again later this week.
