Things are starting to move.

08 March, 2010

Now that I have found new agencies for all my old clients, I have more time to do stuff. One thing that I've been putting off is getting to grips with the foamboard I use for my projects. My main switching layout has a sub base, shaped the way I want, but needs work on the rest of it.

To facilitate that and any methods used, I've begun planning a small micro layout. This will serve two purposes. First, I'll use up those horrible Peco switches and some track. Second, it will help in seeing just how far I can go without breaking the foam core on bends.

For this site

M main domain (ted-hawkins.com) is where I blog more and have free scripts for use on websites. At the moment I'm working on some forum software geared toward those who do not want the heavyweight systems like PHPBB, VBulletin and EBlah. It's aimed for those who just want one or a few forums.

Still in the development stage is a bulletin board where I will have several options for use Eventually I will probably have a copy on the Li'l Lines site (1/4 inch narrow gauge scale specific). One problem will be image handling as my new server has nowhere near the amount of disk space as this one does. So I'm coding in some stuff to handle off site images. Maybe by summer this will be available.
