Quick catch up!

Posted by Joshua van Aalst in Interesting Stuff, Josh and Friends, Netbeans

Alright everyone…..

Here is a quick catch up of what’s been happening with me.

Gayscene to be merged into Josh and Friends

Thats right very shortly the content of Gayscene will be merged into Josh and Friends. That means I’ll be adding a new Category group. I still need a name for this group so if you have a good idea for one please email me at josh@joshandfriends.com.au . Basically the category will have a couple of options to describe at what demographic the DJ, Event, News e.t.c. aims at. The options at the moment are Gay scene, Lesbian scene, 18+, Under 18.

Their will be a new forum added for Gay and Lesbian events.

Personal Development

I am working extremely hard at personal development at the moment. Normally when I hear someone say they have been doing personal development I imagine that to be someone trying to find themselves. Believe me when I say i’ve found myself, and i’m only describing what i am doing as such because I can not announce it just yet. It’s all very exciting though!

Facebook

Yes, I have joined the revolution with both my own personal Joshua van Aalst page and also a Josh and Friends group. I must admit so far i’m absolutely loving it. I have managed to contact almost all of the friends i wish i would have kept in contact with but didn’t. It’s great seeing what they are all doing on a day to day basis.

If you haven’t used Facebook it is alot like Myspace except with an exceptional tracking system that provides you with an overview of what all your friends are doing. E.g. “Joshua van Aalst is now friends with Ella Parker”.

New version of Josh and Friends website

I have also been working ‘reasonably’ hard on a new version of the website. Unfortunately I did something rather silly. The site is written in Netbeans 5.5.1 (the current production version). I upgraded to the milestone version of Netbeans 6 which is full of show stopper bugs. I have not been able to migrate back to version 5.5.1. I am left with a choice; persist and wait till mid September when Netbeans 6 goes beta or work off a backup and migrate at a later date. As I am doing the ‘Personal Development’ above I have decided to go with the former. This may mean that an upgrade to the site won’t happen till end of September. What’s in this upgrade i’m speaking of? I’ll blog about it in a separate post.

A Night Of Trance

Tennille has squeezed my arm and we are going to run an A Night Of Trance event on September 21 at ARQ. Their hasn’t been one for 6 months and we are very excited about the return of uplifting Trance to Sydney. It has been a rather depressing time for Trance in Sydney and I hope that everyone will get out in force to support the event and show that we still LOVE our Trance! - Make sure you bring a friend to the event.

Swimming

I’m also back at the pool 3 days a week again. As the months are getting warmer it’s time to trim down and get in shape.
