Geekee Scrollable Wordpress Plugin

For a couple of months or more now, I have been working on my site GeekeeMedia.com.  There are still a few things needed to be styled and tested before I launch the site, more on that coming soon.  With the launch of the site I will be releasing two plugins that I have developed for the site.

Originally this plugin was just for my site, but I thought it might be something some of you can use.  It’s primary purpose is as a gallery/slider, ideally for portfolio’s.  Thoughts and opinions are welcome.

The plugin is actually is ready to be public, at least the 1st version.  I am however waiting to launch it with my new Geekee Media web site.

Mind mapping Drupal site module structure

Wanted to share something I have began doing to help manage the different Drupal Modules that I use for various project types.  Specifically I am working on a fairly large social network type website.

While a good part of the site has been built, I began mind mapping the module structure and their relations.

I am using the XMind – an open source software for mind mapping.  Here is a screenshot of my progress.

P90X: Day 10

Just got done with day 10 “Chest & Back”, along with “Ab Ripper X”.  Lasting longer in the workouts than before, especially in the ab ripper x video.

Trying to stay away from red meats as much as possible.  But when I got home, Alicia had a grilled burger, beef tips and vegetables waiting for me; couldn’t resist.  Still no soda’s, although Alicia’s case of coke’s in the fridge have called my name a few times.  Bought some green tea, about to have some.

Dang it!!  I just looked at my p90x book and realized i’m doing it wrong, again!!  Geez, this is why you read the instructions first, lol.  Ok, so I was right from the beginning about starting over after Day 7.  There are different phases, and you do certan workouts for that phase, not necessarily in the order of the DVD’s packaged.  Oh well, atleast I have been getting a good workout.  Was suppose to do shoulders and arms; close enough.  Tomorrow will get me on the right track with Yoga X.  1/2 of Phase 1 is over.

See you all tomorrow!

P90X: Day 9

Today’s workout was Core Synergistics (not technically today’s, but read my last post).  Was a great workout, worked the soreness out of the muscles in my back.  Starting to feel better and see some results.  Checked the scale and I’ve lost another 1.8 lbs.  Yay!

Pushed through most of the workout with a pretty intense migraine.  Took two extra strength Tylenol and their just now kicking in.

Several people at my church have been doing P90X.  As far as I know, all are seeing excellent results.  One in particular has made a pretty amazing transformation.  To all my friends working hard, my hat is off to you sirs!

Tomorrows workout will be Back & Biceps.  My two favorite areas to workout.  Love the burn.  Going to try to get to bed a little earlier than normal.  Goodnight everyone.

P90X: Day 8

Today went well.  Had a really busy day at work, “almost” got pulled over for “allegedly” speeding.  Played with Kara until her bedtime and my workout time.

This is the furthest I have came in my last 3 failed attempts to start p90x (pause for applause).  Obviously I didn’t try very hard before.  Wow, 8 days going strong.

For some reason I was thinking in a 7 day workout mindset, so on my 8th day (today) I started back at Day 1 with Chest and Back.  Woops.  I realized after I had done the workout that I was suppose to do the 8th day workout which is “Core Synergistics”.  Well luckily Tomorrow is very similar to what I did today, so I will just do Synergistics tomorrow night. (lost yet?)

The workout was great.  I have discovered that doing the bands, instead of straight pullups, gives me a better workout.  Atleast while I’m still not really “in shape”, yet.

I have a question for the health people and/or p90x people out there.  I am looking for a replacement drink to better my road to a healthy lifestyle.  It has been tough to give up sodas.  Water is a little boring but I realize it is a necessity.  I am not a fan of the light / flavored waters.  So I have been drinking a lot of water, tea, and v8 fruit juice.  I need something inexpensive, maybe fruity.  I am even up for some odd teas (love tea).  So if you have any recommendations or recipes, I would love to hear them.  Thanks.

So far so good.  P90X has been awesome and I can’t wait to see the results!
