Life Update

Another semester is close to biting the dust. Whee! What the heck have I been up to? Last Fall, I wrote DawgTransit (a website for viewing the UGA bus routes) and my first Chrome extension (TweetPuller). This semester, I deployed a mini-web app on Heroku called WordPuller. You type a word and it “pulls” (get it? I’m cheesy, sorry) a definition from Wordnik & a randomly selected image from Google Image Search. I’ll work on integrating other definitions from other sources for the future. My latest pet project is Course Scheduler which was an idea I got from an assignment in a Web Programming course. Since I haven’t figured out how to deploy a non-trivial java web app to Heroku yet, I’ve decided that I’ll attempt to port the Java web application to PHP. It promises to be an interesting learning experience.

This summer, I shall be leaving my warm state of Georgia for somewhere comparably warm. Last summer, I was in Oregon which was enjoyable but I’d like to see what else is out there. 🙂

Toying with publishing this post on 5/13 to mark an exact year since I last wrote anything on this blog but I’m impatient.
