Much progress on the “Stealth Project”. The programming is done, and the documentation (for those that read it) is completed. The demonstration page is ready. Next step is to finalize the installation package, plus finish up the web site pages.

Did some work on an OSCommerce web site for a client. A bit difficult, as it’s hard to work around the add-ins put in by the previous web guy. OSCommerce can be a bit convoluted in how it is coded, and how you add features to it. A lot of code modifications, and some add-ins are better organized than others. OSCommerce doesn’t seem to be very well maintained, although their web site seems to indicate a newer version is in progress. So anything that is done with the program is a bit difficult. But I am muddling through it.

Another project is adding e-commerce to a partner site. I’ve decided to go with ZenCart, which seems to be built better, and has more of features that are needed for this application. It also looks a bit easier to modify the look-feel of the store. I think that modifying ZenCart will be much easier than OSCommerce.

And I got some outside work done also, so I don’t turn into a pasty-faced geek (any more than I already am). The lawns got mowed on Monday, and I put another round of fertilizer on. (Although, on retrospect, those two things seem at cross-purposes). I also did some more planting in the garden. Grandson Dane (3) helped me plant some pea seeds. I then put a plastic tent over that garden section, since the weather here is turning a bit cold. The tomato plants seem a bit stressed with the cooler weather; it may be that they were planted a bit too soon. The strawberry plants don’t seem to mind the weather; there are a few blossoms on those plants.

A busy next few days: more on the stealth project, client web sites, some volunteer work, and some support for a church member’s funeral on Saturday. In retirement, I am still keeping busy.
