Quarter 5 here at Neumont University has started. Luckily I got into golf class so at least I get to have a little fun in between all of the work. This is what my schedule is looking like this quarter.
- Golf
- Game Programming
- Calculus
- Algorithms and Data Structures
- Development in the J2EE Framework I
- Projects IV
I’m pretty excited for the Projects class. This quarter I’m working on the PHPGedView project. Which is currently ranked #2 on the list of most active projects on sourceforge. My group is responsible for creating an Open “Source” Repository so that people can easily find more sources to look up information about their family tree. It’s a very interesting project and I can’t wait until we get past the database design and start the coding.
I also landed a grading position this quarter, so I have some source of income. I’m grading the Topics in Software Development, which is a class that all of the new students have to take. It’s pretty interesting to see the different things that get turned in and the different ways people decide to do things.
I’ve started playing World of Warcraft again after giving it up for about a month. I’ve decided that I’m going to finish leveling my Rogue and transfer it to Kalecgos since they’ve opened realm transfers. Most of the people that I used to play with decided to give the game up, and I have some friends on Kalecgos, so.. goodbye Tichondrius.
That’s really all that’s going on right now. Since it’s 1AM and I have Golf bright and early in the morning, I’m going to bed.

Care to elaborate on the PhpGedView work?

The database we are working on will hold information about a specific source that will hold multiple records. For example, a source can be the birth records from Berlin, Germany from the years 1800 to 1850. If someone uses that source to find information about a specific person in their family tree, it’s currently stored in their GEDCOM file associated with their PHPGedView site.
What our site will do is allow people to upload their PHPGedView files and parse out all of the source information. It will then allow people to query the database. For example if someone wants birth records from Berlin, Germany from the year 1837, it will provide all of the sources that’s currently in the database where that information can be found.
It’s basically a central repository that can be used to find genealogical information much easier.
