Diary of site updates for the coleclan.net world

Update 02May08 (12:18):
Rebirth Destiny

The coleclan.net site is going thru a major overhaul and will be changing bigtime very soon... standby.

Update 16Mar06 (18:44):
Lots of new photo albums, 2 Funny videos, Podcasting, Dumb Geek stuff

Well it has been quite a while since I posted an update, so here it goes...
First up, the Photo Albums in the Multimedia Gallery. There have been several new ones added in the last couple of months. To include Bikini Girl additions (for the fans!), XBOX and iPod 5G dissections and the newest photo "section" - Cole Clan Photos. This paticular one will include individual albums for "Clan" members. For starters, my bud for life, Rick is featured. I also moved my album into the section.

A while back, there were 2 New Funny Videos added to the Multimedia Gallery.

Well the next thing is typical for me. I wait forever to try new stuff out. Podcasting has been real hot since about a year ago. I finally decided to get with the program. On my site you will find a Podcast Page with ALL of the coleclan.net world's Podcasts. There are 2 currently available with multiple access methods. One is for Beavis2084, the other is for the ColeClan Coasters. Have a look and subscribe via iTunes today!

I am constantly telling EVERYONE about my little coding improvements and other trivial shit that nobody really cares about. But I did it again. There are several improvements at Beavis2084.com that make it both faster and nicer looking. Comments from my pals on the new "look" are mixed, but I'm trying to find just the right color set to apply. Have a trip on over there and see what it is looking like today. Also, since we are on the topic of my site, I've been contributing more lately, and you should find some boring and interresting - possibly funny - posts there. The other addition there (part of the speeding up bit) is the link to the News Archives. I managed to cut-down the number of topics on the front page to 12. The rest are "archived" and accessable via that link.

Well... that's it for now... lots of stuff.

Update 05Jan06 (14:32):
The ColeClan have returned... and are bearing photos!

Well the trip was very wet but lots of fun! While in Washington, it never let up. Rained every day! Pretty much the same story in California, except for New Years Day. It was sunny and nice, but the area had just suffered record rainfall the day prior and we never made it to the city. Anyway, There are 3 new photo albums to look at on Beavis2084's Dot Mac pages. Click on the photos here in this post to get there. Otherwise, visit beavis2084.com and click on photos. That is all for now. Enjoy!

Update 25Oct05 (17:49):
Nothing Much Here, Beavis2084 Out And Busy...

Hello Everybody! Well... there has been nothing new going on here at coleclan.net since July or so. I've recently changed jobs (see Beavis2084's Site for details) and have not had much time at all to surf, let alone add content. I expect when I get some time, more will come. But for now, enjoy all the site has to offer. Did you know that there are several videos in the Multimedia Gallery? check it out!

Update 22Jul05 (15:30):
Beavis plans a new site then cancels, More Bikini Girls (thanks to the fans), Broken images, Amanda Elizabeth Grant enters this world, Br@626 is blabing and Dimmu Borgir Wallpaper is scary stuff

Beavis2084 First of all, I'd like to explain my site a little: A while back, I kind of got tired of the overall look and feel... sort of. I think what was really bugging me was that it was difficult to add content to it easily. So in my own geeky head, I thought "what i need is a CMS..." which to you non-geek types is a Content Management System. Most of the time it is a simple PHP based website that uses MySQL as a backend for the data that allows users to login and add content from any web access point. All one needs is a computer or any other client that can browse the internet. Well... after I played around with a couple, I thought I'd use one. But after about a day or two, I did something wrong in setup/install, and hosed it all up. It then broke. So it got "canceled" and I went ahead and hand-coded some more PHP so I could do my management a little easier. Not quite as good as the CMS, but still made things better for me personally. So that is why beavis2084.com is now at version 2.x instead of a brand new 3.0 ... did that confuse you? good!

Seems that everytime I check, I have more email containing Bikini Girls in them. So you (at least those who dig them) will be happy to know that there are several new Bikini photos to look at in the Multimedia Gallery. Enjoy!

Broken Images?!? What are I talking about? Well.. back when I was playing with the CMS for my site, I ended up breaking some of the images that were displayed here on the main page at coleclan.net - but since I canceled version 3.0, it is no longer an issue.

Congrats goes out to Sean and his wife on the birth of their new daughter: Amanda Elizabeth Grant! As my way of sending a "new baby gift" I registered the URL amandaelizabethgrant.com and setup a gallery for them to use to post photos of their new pride and joy! I know it's kinda self-serving (I love photos of the kids), but hey - I'm a geek... that's what we do, and what better excuse to play in my box then to register another domain! You should checkout all the domains hosted by coleclan.net today! They are listed on the left.

Br@t626 is currently providing aid to her grandmother over the summer. As a way to communicate with family and friends, I updated her site and turned up a Blog for to do so. Check it out and see what ramblings are happening!

Dimmu Borgir was one of the heaviest bands at OzzFest last year and by far the scariest! I've recently added some Wallpaper of the band in the Multimedia Gallery. Have a look and get ready to freak out... you have been warned!

Update 06May05 (16:41):
Random Photos, Mac Wallpaper Grows, Sri Lanka Photos, The RUBOT and Galleries Merge

The first thing one should notice upon visiting post 01APR05 is that there is a "Random Image" at the top of the main page. This is actually a built-in function that is a part of the Gallery application. I found it usefull, so I implemented it into the main content area on the page. It is a nice way to expose some content to visitors.

Like the Mac Wallpaper we have? Good! There is even more for you to see now. I added several new ones in early April. Go have a look HERE.

A co-worker of mine recently went to Sri Lanka with his church to provide aid to the disaster stricken country. They built a new home for a large family while there. You can see a photolog of the trip to Sri Lanka in the Multimedia Gallery

RUBOT What is a RUBOT? It's a fantastic robot that the students of the Florida Institute of Technology developed as a class project. It is simpily amazing. It solves a Rubik's Cube from any random configuration. More information is available on the RASSL page they made to document this and you can see the video in the Multimedia Gallery.

Lastly, I've completed the "Gallery Merge". All the seperated galleries (Wallpaper, Photos, Videos) have all been moved to a single gallery installation. This makes it easier for someone to find any type of multimedia that the coleclan.net site has to offer. Of course the search function is there, so it is truely simple. You will find the access to the new Multimedai Gallery listed as such in the left hand menu.

My Mother-In-Law's Story, Content For And By The People, Links, Geek Clean-Up and Dimebag Contributions.

Shirley My Mother-In-Law has had a lifetime of suffering. She has been generally unwell for many many years. My anger reached a major level the other week when I got the latest update on her condition as she was diagnosed with cancer for the second time in her life. Read the full story and post your comments. I am trying to get this out to as many people as possible. Please read the story and tell a friend.

You may have noticed the new tagline at coleclan.net - "Lots Of Different Content For Lots Of Different People". The decision to change the tagline was made after I realized that in coleclan.net's evolution, the site is not simpily a place for all the "clan" to meet and share ideas, but rather a place for ALL people to do so. Along with that idea, I've implemented some added benefits for those who contribute on a regular basis. Read HERE for more details.

Need a link? Well we have some, not a ton, but they are growing. It got to be an unmanageable task to add links to the list. Also, it was hard to associate them with a specific part of the site and keep context from crossing boundaries. Whatever that means. The result: MySQL is now serving the link content and PHP is drawing it out on the pages. I've only managed to take care of the Corvette and Coasters sections so far, but I will finish all of them soon. It is really nothing you SEE that is different, but behind the scenes, a much more effecient way to handle the links.

The Geek section was ignored when the other sections and pages were getting dynamic treatments. In this case, the menu was still static and had to be changed on every page if I added a GEEK item. It is now a dynamic menu and it "Included" instead. Another internal imporvement.

Who believes that there is Live Television Broadcasts still around to see? I think that with the increasing FCC regulations and the "Programming Delays" being implemented means that there will be less and less of it in the future. NoLiveTV.com is a new community driven site dedicated to documenting verifiable live television broadcasts. The content there will be provided by the community and shared by the world. Visit today... perhaps YOU have something to share.

Guestbook? Yes... we have one. And yes... it realy works now. For some reason, it was broken for what seemed like forever. I had no idea! I fixed it, and now you CAN post in it. Go visit it now, sign your name and make a comment. Thank you!

Were you a huge fan of Pantera or Damageplan? Did you groove on the riffs that Dimebag Darrell hammered out on his Washburn guitars? Well we at the Cole Clan sure did. Miss him dearly. The dimebagdarrelltribute.com site has a Photo Gallery that is now open to the public. You can register and post your own photos of the late Dimebag Darrell there. So if you have some cool stage shots you grabbed with your cell phone or camera or any other pictures of Dime, go ahead and upload them today.
