An update
It's been quite a while since I've blogged, and it's mainly due to the massive amount of homework I've had up to my exams.
I've just finished my written exams and is currently having a week to breathe before starting the orals. In the meantime I'm puzzling with a new firm with the friend I did TULM with, THP44. We're currently in contact with the owner of the domain we wish to have for our company, but he was kind at initial contact so it's looking promising.
Our goal with the company is to sell web solutions with a highly customizable CMS, which I'll be blogging a bit about over the summer, starting today.
New project in the works
The two biggest projects for my exam has been finished, with just a few touches and documentation left on TULM.
This means that I'm having more freetime, and I've therefore started a new project based on CodeIgniter v2.0 even though it's not official, but only a dev version.
Hauglin and Sturgeon have both written about this new version and their blog posts can be found here:

Wether this new project of mine is going to be TexoNovus or MMHQ has not yet been determined, but since they're going to share the backend, the final decision is being put to rest for a while.
Another thing I'm really excited about is a dedicated server. My NAS is currently sitting at 3TB storrage, but only ~400GB is free. After looking at price tags for a new NAS vs a server, I've found that a server can be found for a little less than 50% of a NAS price. Of course a server won't have all the fancy features my current QNAP TS-219P has, but considering the Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD I have and the possibility to completely decide what's going to be installed - I think that's the best way to go.
Alot of the features the QNAP has can be brought to the server. Web server and MySQL is most likely to come from WAMP, which also makes it a whole lot easier to enable and disable certain modules. As far as I know, there's also alot more programs, guides and help to find when it comes to windows servers vs linux.
So.. A windows server for 400-530 EUR vs a NAS for 1150 EUR - I'm going for the windows server 
Too much to do, too little time
Am I the only one with too much to do and too little time?
It's so damn stressing to live today < .<
I've the kind of guy that have 200 ideas on his mind, but doesn't have 200 hands to live them out.
Right now I got 4 projects on my mind, which all is rather big;
- TexoNovus, a new CMS
- TULM
- A wallpaper site (Who doesnt love wallpapers?)
- Movie database
THP, which I'm working on TULM with, suggested that I made a website which to manage all his movies and at the same time tell him when a new trailer/movie were released so he could easily get that. It could also be used to let friends know which movies he has, so they could borrow them and maybe even stream them.
I'm really hooked on the idea of a personal movie database - might even be able to easily modify it to a music database too for a web version of my uncles .mdb database.
TULM is a project I think is really cool. When development started, we found an old project called ALP, which was last updated somewhere in the beginning of 2006. Unfortunately the code was so bloaded and lacked organization, that we couldn't use any of it. We did however, get a few cool ideas for TULM, which is using OOP PHP5, istead of ALP's one class that's handling half of the work while single functions is handling the rest.
A wallpaper site, is something I've wanted to make for a while. I was inspired by wallbase. I've tried getting in touch with the owner of the site, but it seems his mail is malfunctioning - so now I'm playing with the idea of making an even more feature-rich wallpaper site than wallbase, but with less AJAX and more permalinks for easier linkage, paging, searching and bookmarking.
God I wish I had more time.. 30 hours in a day instead of 24, or more vacation wouldn't hurt 
Welcome
Haithar, and welcome to my newly installed blog.
I've considered getting one for some time, and now it's finally here.
It's going to be used for updates on my projects, portfolio and my work at organizations I'm a staff of.
