Remarks

These are either Works in Progress, or will be coming very soon.

A check mark (or radical actually) next to an item indicates completion of that project ${ent['mdash']} although nothing is ever really complete at $LAZ as I am constantly updating or improving things.

Project Status

1. ${ent['radic']}$dnews Past, present and future: all in one day.
2. ${ent['radic']}$drx all phases complete. Ongoing additions to the database.
3. ${ent['radic']}${dbrowse}: My${abbr['SQL']} Database Browser.
4. My${abbr['SQL']} $Lab Article Series.
5. ${ent['radic']}Site $Help resource (filed under $Toolbar_Menu).
6. ${ent['radic']}Syndication with ${abbr['RSS']}/Atom ${abbr['XML']} $Feeds.
7. ${ent['radic']}Finish coding my blog and start adding content.
8. And about a million other things.

$note Regarding #7 above, I${ent['rsquo']}ve taken a slight detour from my original intent, which was to design and hand-code every aspect of this Web site. The new approach involves the use of existing packages, but only if these packages meet certain prerequisites. Namely that they be open-source, produce valid XHTML markup and otherwise fit the overall theme of $LAZ. Two of the newest addtions that fall into this category are the $Vanilla_Forum, and my $Serendipity based blog, $blogZero.

$note $dnews completed in one day. Previous records for productivity shattered .

$note $drx all phases (for now) complete, see the latest $announcement for more information.

$note $dbrowse released for alpha/evaluation purposes. Please have a look at if you${ent['rsquo']}re interested, and consider sending me some feedback.

$note Regarding the dbrowse article and series on MySQL development. I will most likely be writing and publishing this piece on another Web site. I have to mull it over a little more. Stay tuned.

$note Items 2. and 3. are closely related. I am very nearly finished with the browser itself, which is a total rewrite of the original. The new version uses an $XPath like syntax. I${ent['rsquo']}m very excited about this project. The Lab series will include complete documentation of the application as well as some history and background on dynamic Web applications and databases.
