Cameron's Thoughts 3.0 will be the next generation code base that this site will be based on. I started a wiki to track progress and to record idea's and such. When I created Cameron's Thoughts 2.0, I didn't have my idea's well organized and it became somewhat troublesome near the end. I got things together and everything turned out fine, but this project will be way more immense and I have a much better idea of what I am in for now, so I am able to better plan ahead. The following is my current info taken from the wiki. 564@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2008-01-13T23:35:37-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2007/08/comments_are_back.html The comments are now turned back on, though at this time you actually need to register an account on this site to use them. I hope to have guest comments working soon, but I need to get some anti-spam measures in place first. This also means that the account registration feature is now functioning on here. I've spent a lot of time getting this working lately, hopefully I will have some nicer customization features here for people who are logged in. 544@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2007-08-25T17:55:13-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2007/08/comments_website.html I have disabled comments and trackbacks on the site for the time being. I will soon have them back up. I am in the process of implementing my own registration and user system, and the comments will be a part of that when they come live again. I'll still allow for guest comments to be posted, but I wanted the comment system to be seamless with the user logins that will soon work. The new user login system is going to be pretty cool. Setting changes will be able to follow across computers, you'll have lots of control over the site's appearance, such as turning off ads and turning off different sections. 539@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2007-08-12T20:42:31-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2007/06/google_ads.html I have finally surpassed the $100 mark for ad revenue coming into this site. During that same timeframe I spent close to $125 to actually run the site. But, now that I passed this mark, I will at least finally see the money come in the mail. 531@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2007-06-11T05:28:10-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2006/10/need_to_update_site_design.html I'm thinking I need to overhaul the look of this site. The current look is essentially the same since June '05 when I released Cameron's Thoughts 2.0, I'd like this to be more along the lines of Cameron's Thoughts 2.1. I don't want to make any underlying changes to the site, just something to update the CSS and maybe some minor content and layout changes. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. 484@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2006-10-29T21:53:36-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2006/08/revamped_cameronbulockcom.html I have redone my other website, Cameron.Bulock.com. It is now based on some CMS software that a friend of mine, Dan Krause and I have been developing. There are some plans to have a comment system added in the near future, so, it's a possibility that I may replace Movable Type on this page with this CMS. It's pretty exciting at this point because we are adding new features everyday. If you would like your own site to be powered by this software, for the time being it's only commercial, there is no free version. That may change at some point, it's being discussed.. If you would like a license for the software, let me know. 471@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2006-08-06T01:35:49-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2006/04/stylesheet_free.html As you may notice, this site is now stylesheet-less. This will only be for one day as it's the First Annual Naked Day. I'm not afraid to show off the content of this site though. If you can't stand this, there are some style links on the menu above to setup a stylesheet for the site. 429@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2006-04-04T22:01:25-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2006/02/cameron_bulock_com.html There isn't much here yet, but soon I am working on a new site with the tentative name of Cameron Bulock .com. This will be a place where I can do some experimenting with different web projects and things and will be a place where I can do some web-based things outside of the scope of this blog. Any way's, just wanted to get this link out, come by and check back at this site sometime in the future. 411@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2006-02-05T21:10:34-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2006/02/hosting_costs.html Good news for my hosting bill this month. My intentions have never been to make any money off of this site, but I would love to someday break even on my costs for running this site. Each month I get closer and closer to that goal. This month, with the money I got off of my Adsense ads from Google, I only ended up $0.87 short for the month 409@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2006-02-02T20:37:56-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2005/11/christmas_theme.html As you probably have noticed, I setup a Christmas theme on this site. I know, I totally suck when it comes to stylesheets and even if I knew what I was doing, I don't really have much of a taste for design anyway. But, I figured, what the hey. 382@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2005-11-28T19:21:20-05:00
