Pointless, non-sensical, sugar-induced rantings of Travis Tubbs 

Boxee Application Development Posts Moved

Those that came to this site looking for posts about the ABC News Local and GameTrailers.com RSS Boxee applications will now find them on my new projects web site, InternalServer.net. Anything related to these projects, other Boxee applications I create, or any other project I'm working on will now be located on that site.

This site will now be strictly for me to ramble on about who-knows-what.

Reintroducing travistubbs.net and Introducing InternalServer.net

After building a couple of Boxee applications, it made me feel really good and have a little more confidence in myself. It also got me thinking.

Since I am currently unemployed, I don't have a lot of money coming in (read as: NO money is coming in). This means I am having to put myself out there on the market, one that is rather crowded. I am going to be having to convince employers I would be a valuable asset to them. Most employers are pretty tech savvy now and will look up anything and everything about you on the web.

As this would most likely be the case, I decided I need to be able to showcase my talents to potential employers. Instead of putting my talents on my personal web site, I decided it needed its own web site. Thus, InternalServer.net was born.

Now, I had already owned the domain internalserver.net and used it to test things on internal servers. Most recently, I used the domain to start hosting my Boxee applications. I figured if I was going to be using it to host Boxee applications, I might as well open it up and use it to showcase all my talents.

I have done a lot of projects, web sites, and more in the past, but I never actually kept record of those projects. As no record was kept, it would make things a bit tougher to show others what I've done. This should be a problem no more.

While I was at it, I went ahead and redesigned travistubbs.net. Although it's going to be a separate site from InternalServer.net, I felt it needed a good cleaning up as well.

So, there ya go, kids. One new web site and one new redesigned web site. Now that those are done, time to get to work on some other projects.

Boxee Application Update: ABC News Local - Day 3.5

NOTE: You can also follow my progress of this app on the Boxee forums - http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?p=84633

I got a little impatient. Maybe it's just excitement from this app visually coming together. I know I still have a long road ahead, but I couldn't wait to get the next part of this app going.

Boxee Application Update: ABC News Local - Day 2 and 3

NOTE: You can also follow my progress of this app on the Boxee forums - http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?p=84633

WARNING: Lots of rambling and incoherent thoughts ahead. You've been warned. :P

After fiddling around with the ABC 7 News app's code, I finally said "forget it!" and threw it all out. I'll still be referencing it once I get to the actual "actions" part of the app, but since I'm still in design/layout phase, I decided to backtrack and put my focus on getting the elements of the app into their place.
