New adventures in development

So I've undertaken a new project this past fall. I felt compelled to share what few skills I have with the Forest Service. It seems they have some volunteer websites they use to track volunteer hours, trail conditions, plants etc that could use some work.

Initially it seemed like a fairly simple task to knock off the rust from my php / mysql skills and sort out a few pages. Now it appears to be a slightly more daunting task with little or no documentation for the current site and a fairly complete data model for a go forward site. I expect some additional forensic work this week and some real coding soon.

Additionally, I've been reading blogs on SQL Server Central since catching Steve Jones at SQL Saturday #52. He had some interesting perspectives on creating a personal brand and the state of the modern resume. From now on I hope to post with more focus and regularity. I hope that with the new look and some discipline I can share my professional and volunteer experiences.
