log4net and Managed C++???
So I tried to integrate log4net into my Virtual Human application. This is mainly a Managed C++ application. I had completly no luck doing this. Everything compilied and linked fine until I actually tried to make a log. Upon trying to conduct a log I would get a compile error (don't remember what this error was), that was related to argument type. I wonder if I'm just doing something stupid or not. Oh well, can't spend anymore time on it so I just worked around it by creating my own logging mechanism based on log4j.

Cool Simple PHP WiKi
If you're looking to setup a PHP WiKi but don't want to deal with much hassel of installing one and you're not looking for a ton of functionality then check out: http://www.lars-ackermann.de/wiki/static. I am now using it for a few projects that I have going on. The easiest WiKi I've ever setup soo far!

On life today
It seems like things are just really dynamic in my life right now. Just when I think that a situation has been settled it manages to turn upside down once again. Guess life is like this. You have to be careful on what you count on being there tomorrow. Guess this is a thing that I have learned in the past, but obviously not well enough. I'm sure that in the future I'll make the same mistake, but hopefully I'll be a little better prepared when it actually happens. Can't really imagine being any less prepared then I am at this moment.
Things changing like this for me is not only unusual but genuinely not good for me. I'm a person who likes thing to be done in a certain way (not to say that I'm stuck in my ways) and if they are not then I don't like it. We'll I take that back...it's not that I like them done in a certain way...it's just that I like knowing what to expect. So this causes me to do things in known ways..to avoid things happening that are unexpected. When unexpected things happen, and even worse things happening that are totally against my expectations, this kinda throws me for a loop. I really don't like being in this loop. I guess I'm searching for ways to get out of this loop and back onto a road. I don't care exactly where this road takes me, but I'd like to be going somewhere. This entry must be totally confusing for those who don't really know me...sorry.

Virtual Human project
I have recently re-kindled my Virtual Human project for my senior project. Senior project is required for graduation. My senior project will consist of enhancing the virtual human application that I have created and letting users create some applications with it. After that I will make some changes and again distrubute it to users. Once this is completed the effectivness will be accessed and a paper will be written about it. All of this in the matter of like 3 months! You can read more at: http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~sih/index.php?misc=seniorProject/main.php.

If I could only say!
There's a LOT of really exciting things going on in my life right now. But unfourtunately it seems like I can't talk about any one of thse things at this moment! The only problem is determining what I'm supposed to spend my time on. I can't believe that there is only 24 hours in each day. There have been times that I wished that there were less than 24 hours in a day, and now is the time of my life in which I truly hoped that there were much more than that in each day. Oh well, I guess we have to live with what God has given us, and just hope that we do the right thing. I hope that I can juggle all these repoonsibilities and take advantage of all the oppourtunities that have come my way in the past week. I am really starting to wonder why they have all surfaced to me. Besides I am still a student who's just trying to pass all my classes and graduate (in August!), but recently I've been feeling like soo much more than that! I guess it's a good time in my life, even though there is hardship still. But I'm really excited about the future and what I can make of all these chances that God has shown me recently. I hope that I don't let anyone down, especially my parents...but I know that they will support me no matter what happens with these projects that I'm currently working on.

Current work
Currently I'm working on a few projects. At work I'm using JXTA to create a reliable messenger. But reliable in the sense of if you send a message to a machine and it goes offline the message will be saved in a queue until the machine comes back online. You can create many different sending strategies, and select the desired one at runtime. I've been trying to come up with a different name besides 'reliable' because it is confusing. The name that I'm currently leaning towards is 'persistent messenger'
Besides that I'm trying to get a lucid dreaming application accepted for open-source development at jxta.org. If you are interested in lucid dreaming joing my google group at: Lucid Dreaming google groupThe application will help users record, maintain, and search their dreams. Now the Jxta part, they will be able to share these dreams on a P2P network with selected peers. Besides that I'm working on another project with a friend of mine....and can't really talk about it...but it is going to be really cool! I'll let you know as more info can be released.

My Jxta article
My first article was recently published, it can be viewed at:
Peer-to-peer applications made easy, Part 1
It's an introduction to Jxta using Java, kinda a simple article. Have to start somewhere. I'm hoping to keep some Jxta notes and some other random things here, don't be surprised if you hear me ranting about how desperatly I need coffee because this seems to happen on like an hourly basis now-a-days. :)
