I just suck

    So I enjoy fiddling with web stuff.

    I really enjoy using Open Source things like Joomla and Drupal

    I dont know why. It is an addiction I guess.

    I think I have a knack for putting pieces together (must be my grad school chemistry training)

    but I can never seem to finish.

    And here is why.

    I don't want people to think i am making site just for money. I just like to do it.

    Like i made http://forums.mychemistrytutor.com so students could ask questions but I don't know what the rest of the site should say.

    I made shareyourexpertise.com because I wanted to put a bunch of scripts and modules together.

    and now i have done it and don't know what to do with it.....

    You can basicly let students tutor and help each other through the forum. Why stay with just chemistry, why not any acedemic problems. Who would better understand students, than students themselves.

    It's a nice site, but the only chemistry question I have is why men get so much gas.

    It looks like it really has some potential.

    I'm actually not doing anything with it right now. The arrival of the baby put all my plans on hold, but within the next year or so I hope to go to pharm school.

    i only have three sites i am interested in making

    www.mychemistrytutor.com

    forums.studentloanrelief.org

    and shareyourexpertise.com

    I have a list of things to do as long as my arm - ok, maybe a bit longer. It may be some time before I get to it, but I will try to drop in.
