Ready Set Go!

I spent most of last winter (unemployed) generating the base code for the website. So much of that is done. I started talking to TEDC and TCCOC about the idea last May. Unfortunately it took TEDC 2 months to secure a go-ahead on it; meanwhile i'd found a good job, with Weaverville Fire District. So now i'm way overloaded, and it has to be done by end of september.

But the design is database-driven; all I have to do is 'drop' a business's data (descriptive text, photo, contact info) into the DB, and the PHP code that i wrote will automatically pickup and display the new information to the site.

So most of the effort is i travelling about the county and talking to people. That, i know, will be fun and interesting, and it's that effort that will be documented here, in this blog.

This economy's been collapsing for too long. Lets do something about it.
