fXceed

About a week ago, [fxceed.com] started managing http://www.stillwaterkbc.org/ website. Weekly updating church announcements, uploading media files, and developing new website, [fxceed.com] has begun to be tested for its professional aptitudes. This will be the first project of [fxceed.com] which will guide it to learn how to successfully develop a new website.

TASK 20081104: Created a page for downloading media files. Used http://www.box.net/ service for streaming audio files. Had to be careful about copyright issues for certain presentation files, thus changed its exposure from open to closed, only will be available by request.

NEXT: Must find the smooth way to migrate from old way of using CGI to new way of using PHP and MySQL, without causing any difficulties, confusion, or frustration. [fxceed.com] wants to please the customers. Need to develop better board system for efficient and safe use. Realizing how out of date the site has been, this new development will require drastic adoption for new technologies. AJAX perhaps?

Installed WordPress in my computer. Finished only the first setup, doing it twice to make it work for Korean. My first initial idea was to develop my own theme that can be used for my church’s new website. Designing something graphical is not easy for me. And I need to get good help. Trusting people is something I have big trouble with. It’s always problems caused by me.
I feel hasty. And hasty will ruin this project. Please hold me firmly.

From now on, I must spend good deal of time for studying the code throughly to understand the causes and the effects. Sacrificing time for sleep and meeting people. Keep me alive.

Strangely, I just can’t stop dreaming about building a successful website that does contribute and becomes a great Rightful property for so many people. Without not knowing the specific tools to be used, and attained the level of mastery for professional development, I just can’t shake it off. Yet, I know the requirements, the labor and dedication sacrificing some of my comforts. I fear how I will disappoint myself by not achieving the goal, and being regretful for what I had sacrificed. And the anticipatory challenges toward me, attacking my soul, body, and my people. I just don’t have enough courage to respond; react to this call. Please let me do what You want me to do. Whatever it is, build it to be servile, bringing joy to Your people.

New Domain name Candidate: http://c******.***.**t

Maybe I’m forcing myself to think about the project to be too big and ambitious. Probably, I can even attempt is simply making similarly operating website with new design, or interface. Daring to make something great would lead me to be frustrated since there may not be adequate acknowledgement or support, unless I announce it publicly. But most of all, it’s due to my lack of creatively striking idea that will definitely entertain people. Must think simply and in user’s point of view. Never be too proud to do something for contribution. Don’t tempt myself to do something great and expect or command respect from those I should serve.

However, examining the way I use my time like this weekend, I just need more motivation or incentive. Being focused to do something valuable is such a great gift.

1. Find the hosting service: I consider EasyCGI to be the best for it’s capability for support both ASP.NET and PHP

2. Register the Domain name: http://www.stillwaterkbc******.org/ Can’t think of anything really good.

3. Open source: Respect the spirit of collaboration. Since I will heavily borrow many solutions from other developers, it’s my duty to properly keep good reference to their sincere work.

4. Multi-lingual: This is for anyone coming to the website from anywhere. Thus, additional to Korean contents, it will be required to have the identical or at least the similar contents in English. Currently, there is no prospect for supporting other languages due to my inability.

5. Altruistic Intention: Though this site will be developed only by myself, it will not be owned by me. Rather, I will strongly encourage people to particapate in tinkering and reforming. As this project will support my preparation for real professional career development, I hope it will motivate other students and job seekers likewise. By not taking my ownership, this site will be owned by everyone and have much longer life.

After many speculations, fxceed.com has decided to pause maintaining its site for a while. And will start developing an additional, and eventually the substitution website for the Korean Church in Stillwater. Initially, this development will focus on expanding its accessibility to non-Korean speaking church members and future users, whether they are attending church or not. One great aspect of Internet is its unlimited openness to anyone from anywhere.

First thing, is that fxceed.com is not skilled enough to handle this project specification: AJAX, ASP.NET, File Uploading, Applying other professional site types, Security, etc. This is the first project to be considered real professional task.

From this day on, this blog will keep the development journal. Starting from what I cumulatively learn for mastering new techniques, and to actually developing the website for real use.

Good luck, to myself.
