It is not often that I have a well documented program hang me up for a few hours, but SQL Express had me at just that. What I needed to do was host the 64 bit database on a 64 bit Windows Server 2008 machine that would then receive connections from a remote host through the ODBC.

 I have noticed that I have been making more and more changes to the Statistical Analysis module. Rather than host it here with no commit information or possibility for others to collaborate, I am moved it to GitHub. You can access the code here:

 In my previous post I highlighted that I was working on a statistic module for Drupal. I have not submitted the module to Drupal yet, but thought I would release it in its current state in hopes that some people may find it useful.

You can download the current release here:

Oddly enough I have not been doing too much programming for the past few weeks. I think sometimes you get burnt out and lose those coding until 3 in the morning urges. I feel it coming back though and figured I would drop some updates on my latest projects. 

A couple days ago I put together a beta version of a route planner for Famous Food Finder. The beta is now running live where users can play around with it and report any bugs (if their awesome like that). Basically what the feature does is take in a start and end location. From there it provides you with the standard Google Map directions, but also plots your route out on the populated map.

 Several users are complaining about a recent bug in Google Documents where the last folder in the "My folders" directory is missing its expansion arrow. This is truly annoying to people who heavily depend on Google Docs for word processing and data storage (since users can now upload any file type). 

Today I found myself in need of a quick and easy way to display a Facebook fan box within a Drupal site. To my surprise I found nothing that would just take in the few requirements (API key, profile id, etc.) and output a fan box. It took all of 20 minutes, but I figured I would post the finished module up on here.

Typically I don't spend my time documenting what I would think is common sense, but I found an issue close to my heart worth diving into. I wrote a Google Chrome extension the other day and was so amazed how easy Google had made it. I mean it was literally copying web code into the right file and hitting publish.

 Lately I have been trying to think of ways to make Famous Food Finder more into a service that anyone can easily use and offer on their website. So far this has brought me to the beginning of creating several widget-like versions of Famous Food Finder. Development has already began on a Drupal module and a WordPress module will soon follow after that.
