Written by okay, i have decided to play with seaside for my next round of goofing
around with web development. i wanted to make sure that i was setting
something up that would lend itself to a web app rather than a web
site. so, in order of appearance, here are the thing i am gonna play
with writing in seaside.
- asset management system – where i work, we have about 12
machines. each has software that has licenses, and we sometimes
transfer those licenses around. it’s a good idea for us to keep a
track record of what employee has which machine, and any
permutations of that information. although this would be totally
easy to do with pretty much antyhing, it would be a good candidate
to try with seaside.
Pharmacy blog - rhapsody scrobbler – i use last.fm like crazy. i also use rhapsody
like crazy. unfortunately, they don’t mix. what you listen to in
rhapsody does not count on your last.fm scrobbles. so, i decided to
fix this. i wrote a library of functions in ruby that take the xml
feed from rhapsody and scrobble it, all the while keeping track to
make sure there are no repeats. by adding a multi user interface to
this, i bet some folks out there would like to have something like
this. - amateur radio log – yes, there are millions of them, but i think it
would be fun to make one that uses google maps and calculates
distances, etc. it could be run locally, or on a multi user
server. it might also incorportate LOTW i would imagine. i dunno
how crazy i will get with this, as i currently use paper and pen
for logging, but it would stil be a good exercise.
the only thing that i wonder about is how the multi user and multi
role systems will work. i tried this before, and seemed to have some
trouble with it, but i will keep you posted.
