Over the past week or so, I’ve been getting extremely busy with my normal college workload that is a fact of any Computer Science Major’s college career. Over the past week, I’ve learned 5 new languages in a project for my programming languages class. Those languages are ML, Lisp, Erlang, Prolog, and Ruby. I’ve done limited Ruby in the past, however I have never done any string parsing operations until this project. I’m confident I’ve finished this project fully and I intend on posting it somewhere on my homework section after I receive my grade for this project.
In addition to my programming class, I’m taking French, Algorithms, and Probability. Of the three, French takes about 3 hours of my week for homework, probability takes about 4 hours of my week reading the book so I know whats going on, and I put about an hour a week into my Algorithms course so I know something when the test comes later this month.
Now that you have an idea of what I’m doing for college, lets move onto AdminReference. In my free time, I’ve been looking at numerous design ideas for the site. I’ve pretty much made up my mind that it will contain a main site and a forum. The main site will simply be an introduction to what the site is about, while the forum will be where community members will be able to interact with each other. The service will be free unlike experts exchange because I want an easy reference thats freely available to anyone who needs it. Initially the site will be ad free, however if traffic grows so much that I need to put a lot of funds into the site, I may insert an ad or two although I am not a fan of advertisements on websites (I feel they slow the site down and hurt its appearence). Eventually after some content is added to the site, I may work on making a wiki-like interface where tutorials on the forum (or whatever guides are posted) will automatically be tied into a dynamic electronic reference manual that is easily searchable.
Thats all that I really have time to blog about for today, so stay tuned for the next blog within a week
