I managed to knock 2 really big things off of my to do list thanks to my friend Brandon. He has become my mysql guru for the time being for figuring out to take the most recent posts from my phpbb powered forum and display them on this page. He also modified a wordpress plugin that takes the current song that is playing in iTunes and using a free program that can be found here so thanks a lot to Brandon! :D. The plugin also creates links to the iTunes music store so you can see more about the song, purchase it, or preview them (you do need iTunes for this but it is free and hey you can get it here so you lazy people have no excuse ;))Also, I finally got the load times for this site to be under a second, after I scraped the index.php and rewrote the whole thing from scratch after figuring out exactly what code that wordpress needs to operate and it seems to have done the trick. 
So if you all could put some post in the forum and whatnot (even if its spam from you evil spam bots and spammers:P) so we can see what bugs might appear. If you find do find any bugs either post a topic in the bugs section or leave a comment here. Thanks to everyone that has stuck with me during all the transitions by the way!
news my winter break is almost over. 
I start back at SMS on Monday but at least I only have 2 more semesters after this as start to wind up my umm 5 year plan. 
I think I’m doing much better than I was this time last year even though I get lonely fairly often these days, if your a single female in my area and would like to grab dinner or something drop me a line. 
Anyways, I am going to go chill now and enjoy my last few days of low stress. Take care everyone and if your at SMS good luck in your classes! I’m out!
