BubblesSOC

Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 27-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Bubs’ Button Board

I’ve decided to release my first WP plugin to the public :nod: It’s a customizable plugboard for your WordPress blog. You can see it in action here at BubblesSOC. BBB features button moderation and cache… I wouldn’t want an ugly broken image to mess up your nice layout ;) Of course both of these features are optional.

New Quilt

Bees — just in case you didn’t get my email, here it is:

You’re receiving this email because we traded patches at the Quilting Bee. I’ve decided to make a new quilt since my current one is full of holes :) I don’t have time to prune the retired bees.

If you’re still a member, please trade with me again! If not, just ignore this email :)

What’s On the Agenda

My personal web to-do list:

  • myQuilt Admin Version 3.0
  • Visitor content (Wallpapers, Pixels, Smilies, Icons, WP Plugins/Themes, Caption Challenge, Birthday List)
  • About content (Creations, Collection, Library)

Bees — Let me know your suggestions for the new version. You can find the current suggestions at the BBS :)

Oh So Random

Do you have a scratch pad? I always keep a notebook at my side so that I can jot notes, sketch ideas, write reminders, etc. I usually keep a pen (preferably Uni-Ball Vision) in its spine for easy access. Right now, I’m brainstorming ideas for the Perfection forum on paper. The members don’t seem to like the Vanilla one I’ve currently installed, so I’m back to writing my own script :P If you have a personal website or weblog, you should check Perfection out…

Perfection is a community sort of like YourSite.Nu or Design Snack, but not just anyone can become a member. Applicants must go through a review process conducted by the current members. If accepted, you get to review potential members, too. If not accepted, you can now request your reviews so that you can improve your site and try again. I’ve met a lot of new online friends through the community :D

Beta Plugboard

I finished my plugboard plugin… wanna test it out? The sidebar isn’t finished (obviously) and I know the design looks a bit wonky in IE 6… I’ll worry about that tomorrow ;)

After testing it on my site, I’m going to release the plugin. I don’t think there is currently one available. I added a couple of features such as button moderation and cache. I wouldn’t want a broken image messing up my layout! :roll:

Expanding Horizons

Last night I was sifting through my Akismet spam and noticed that one of the spammers apologized to me for his following spam comment :rofl:

I’m currently attempting to write my first WP plugin. I want to integrate my plugboard and Caption Challenge into WP pages, but these scripts need to be plugins before I can accomplish this.

Working Hard

Consuming 3 Lean Cuisines at once kind of defeats the purpose of eating Lean Cuisines in the first place x_x I was really hungry but too lazy to go get food so I raided what was left in my freezer.

I’ve been feeling really light-headed and dizzy lately. I wonder if it is related to the fact that I’ve been staring at the computer non-stop for 2 weeks now…

I’ve completed my Contact page. I used Jem’s tutorial to write the form processor. She’s a web security guru :roll: I would love for my lovely readers to test the form for me before it goes live. Be sure to try and break it :devil: Also, check out the design in IE (6 and 7) because I don’t have access to IE at the moment. If you test the actual form, please leave me a comment to let me know so that I can check for your email ;)

Back, Finally

Well, sort of. None of the content pages are up yet. You’ll probably notice bugs in the layout, such as irregularities between browsers… I’ll work those out asap. I felt like I needed to get something up because I miss blogging so much!

I have a lot of catching up to do, but first, I want to thank those who exchanged Christmas cards with me…
