This is a video blog continuation of week 2 (see the previous post).
Background: I was asked by the IEEE student club at UB (http://wings.buffalo.edu/sa/ieee) to redo my lecture series on developing websites. I know that my website isn’t the best visually designed website in the world (and I’m actively looking for talent that can help me fix this in exchange for my programming skills), but I do know a lot about how to code websites well. Anyways, here are the videos from Lecture 3. There will be a fourth and final lecture next week. As always, thanks for reading!

It seems like its been a while since I last posted to my blog. As usual, the mid semester grind is hitting my time hard, so I don’t have the resources to write here as often. Thankfully this is my last semester as a Masters student, *yay*. So coming up soon, I will be writing a blog on regular expressions, I’m still in the process of making it, so it might take a while. I’ve also got a great blog for April fools day, so stay tuned for that!
Now onto the topic of this blog. This is a video blog (go figure, right?). Actually, I was asked by the IEEE student club at UB (http://wings.buffalo.edu/sa/ieee) to redo my lecture series on developing websites. I know that my website isn’t the best visually designed website in the world (and I’m actively looking for talent that can help me fix this in exchange for my programming skills), but I do know a lot about how to code websites well.
Being the kind of person who likes to share knowledge, I agreed to give the lecture series with updated information. John suggested that I video tape the lectures and post them to my blog, which I thought was a great suggestion. So in the next 5 to 6 weeks, I will be posting youtube 720p HD recordings of the lecture series to here. Feel free to watch it and make comments about my presentation skills. I know that I’m not perfect, so I’m always open to suggestions!
As always, thanks for reading!

After a lot of pressure, not only from Jordan but mostly everyone, FamousPhil.com now has a new, shiny look! *at least for the most part*. Sure, I could improve the navigation buttons a bit to make them look “web 2.0,” but that will come in another project down the road after I finish up the rest of this never ending to do list.
As you’ve probably noticed, over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been very tight with my blog releases after posting almost every day for one stretch there. The truth of the matter is, when I get highly involved in a site redesign, I like to spend all of my time and effort working on that redesign and forgetting about everything else. I do admit that its tough for me to get into working on a website design in the first place, but once I’m in the process of working, I generally do not like being distracted.
For me, a distraction of any kind, even that 1 second hi to a friend passing by can throw my mind off by a huge amount. To me, distractions can end up costing me a few hours (sometimes an entire day) to get my thoughts back and continue working on the problem I was focusing on at the time of the distraction. Sure, this is annoying, but I’ve learned how to slam the door and tell people not to disturb me at all unless the world is on fire when I begin such projects. Its just the way that I work I suppose.
