<p>I've only had a short time to play around with this framework today, but so far I'm very excited about it's potential. Being able to create some very clean graphics that work with the dreaded IE browser is a big plus. I'll post more on this library in the coming weeks, but until then, you can check out this great tutorial to get you up and running.</p>

This new online service will help you keep track of all that wonderful amount of information you have to deal with in your day to day lives.</p>
<p>The first version of the service contains a Issue Tracking system along with a CRM solution. The interface was created with simplicity in mind, so that it's easy to pick up and run with. The next solution to be added to their system is a Reporting Center, which will "<em>allow you to slice your information any way  			you need, allowing you to assess your business while giving you a leg up on the competition.</em>"</p>
<p>Here's a small blurb from their website:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>SpiralTrac was built with a simple goal in mind:  Allowing easy and powerful tracking and  						  analysis of information.  In today&rsquo;s world, information can be your most powerful asset.   						  That is where we come in.  With our resources, the cracks that information used to slip  						  through will be sealed.</p>

This has not only helped me to remember why I bookmarked this site but also with narrowing down my searches when I need find something very specific.</p>
<p>Tags are great for keep bookmarks organized, but nothing beats having a personal note related to the website to help your future needs for that site.</p>
<p>So when I have a free moment I'm going to start randomly adding notes to all my previous bookmarks. This process may take a while, since as of this blog entry I have over a thousand (<strong>1,000+</strong>) bookmarks on the system.</p>
<p>Here are some useful links to some of the bookmarks I have:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>jQuery</strong> - what can I say, I love this javascript library. So many great add-ons that people have created for this thing.<br /><a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://delicious.com/drofnas/jquery" target="_blank">http://delicious.com/drofnas/jquery</a></p>
<p><strong>Design Inspiration</strong> - the best way to get over a mental block when designing webpages is to take a look at other designers awesome work. <br /><a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://delicious.com/drofnas/inspiration" target="_blank">http://delicious.com/drofnas/inspiration</a></p>
<p><strong>Photography </strong>- one of my favorite past times is taking pictures. Here's a bunch of photography related sites I came across, from Photoshop tutorials, DIY Lightboxes, and how to take some awesome pictures.<br /><a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://delicious.com/drofnas/photography" target="_blank">http://delicious.com/drofnas/photography</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That's it for now, I hope you find some useful links from my previous stumbling around the web.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.johnsanford.net/journal/2009/10/30/boondock-saints-2-shrug.html"><rss:title>Boondock Saints 2... shrug</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.johnsanford.net/journal/2009/10/30/boondock-saints-2-shrug.html</rss:link><dc:creator>John Sanford</dc:creator><dc:date>2009-10-31T01:33:00Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Movies</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was so looking forward to watching this movie when it came out. But it seems it will only be available in a few locations in New York and Los Angeles.</p>
<p>This saddens me, the first movie was great. After hearing a sequel was going to finally be released, I was super duper excited for it.</p>
<p>But it seems that excitement will have to be saved for another day.</p>
<p>That's it, just my random thoughts and excitement about a movie I was SOOOOO looking forward to seeing. Maybe I'll just go watch <a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.astroboy-themovie.com/" target="_blank">Astro Boy</a> or something.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.johnsanford.net/journal/2009/10/23/how-to-install-php-on-windows-xp-iis.html"><rss:title>How to install PHP on Windows XP (IIS)</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.johnsanford.net/journal/2009/10/23/how-to-install-php-on-windows-xp-iis.html</rss:link><dc:creator>John Sanford</dc:creator><dc:date>2009-10-24T05:38:00Z</dc:date><dc:subject>IIS PHP Tutorial Windows</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[For some reason the "automated" installer that PHP.Net has listed on their site has never worked for me.

<p>Well, this is the first post of my new site&hellip; No real content, just a little bit about what the heck this site is going to be used for.</p>
<p>First off, this is just going to be related to things that I program, simple little scripts, maybe some full size projects, and of course my 2 cents about some programming ideas. I&rsquo;d also love to hear what everyone would like me to try and work on. I have plenty of stuff that I&rsquo;ve writen over the years, so I will start posting some of those scripts, ideas, projects, on here and hopefully it will come in handy for someone else out their.</p>
<p>I love getting feedback from users that make use of anything I create; ways to make it better, how you&rsquo;re using it, and just anything else you can think off.</p>
<p>Well, that&rsquo;s what this site is going to be about. Hope you enjoy it.</p>
