Today has been interesting. The interaction studio got all its furniture moved around again for the better, i think (even know i didn't participate because i'm lazy). But also i felt some progression on the new content management assignment as i decided to brainstorm ideas and came up with a realistic one that could well be possible to do. Even if i had to do it myself.
The idea (baseing it on making the world a better place *puke*) was to make a blog (wow!?) that anyone can sign up to and basically post a link to an inspiring peace of artwork on the net. hopfully including a personal description about it and build up a database of all kinds of inspiring creative work that can be from photography to cleaver advertisment. It really is based on the community and maybe even including a voting system where if that link has 50+ votes, it gets put up the top of the blog as a todays feature or something.
Talking with flo and mark? is it? they really did see potental and talked about how to make some kind of profit from this. This ended up going on for about an hour of different possibiltys but basically i need to research the competition and other simular types of popular art sites and see whats good and whats not. I've got a whole list of things to research its not even funny. It will keep me busy i'm sure but all this thought process made me wonder if learning PHP and mySQL in 4 weeks is possible, let alone this whole money making thing. I'll get the base down and depending on time, i'll build appon it.
Moving onto the other Virtual Enviroments assignment, i downloaded the nessacery program and had a good laugh with it! It's called Vizard, downloaded here > http://www.worldviz.com/products/vizard/index.html and the beginners tutorial is really easy and friendly, so even i flew through it without any problems.
So things are looking up! after my last post of being concerned, i've actually got some ground now. And while i remember, big thanks to Micheal Campbell for giving my a head start on php programing too! http://www.php.net/ has good references on how to bring in data from and to mySQL. Links are below for anyone to ponder at.
