i just wrote my first proper ajax widget. i’d fiddled with ajax before, but just using “responseText”. i finally took the effort to figure out how to parse xml using DOM. i chased my tail for an hour or so, simply because i hadn’t set:

header(’Content-Type: text/xml’);

last week i had a lecture for DI at tony’s office. tony is a guy from church who’s the managing director of a software company. it was really cool being able to pick his brain about business.

it has left me thinking a lot the past week or so. mainly about victory one. i think i’m going to have to sit down and re-think quite a bit of what i though victory one was going to actually do. i think i went on a tangent for a bit, thinking it was going to be this great big web site. which is probably why not much has happened. because while it’d be cool to have that sort of audience, i really don’t want to build a site like that myself. i’d rather get on with the business of creating music and art.

which actually might prove to be more realistic anyway. having this abstract whimsicle idea of creating this incredible piece of web real estate out of a market that i’m not sure even exists was going to be difficult at best.
