Findivo hasn't died... quite the contrary, actually. I've been working hard on the software that I will use to run this place.
Originally, I was going to writ this all up as a custom app (what you see here), then I moved into the frame of mind to use a Content Management System - CMS - to handle everything, and add on my components as custom modules. To that end I tried several systems, but I've not been impressed by any of them. It seems that in order to accomplish the ease-of-use navigation and presentation I have in mind, I'd have to do a LOT more coding than I thought.
Out of this was born "WTFCMS" - I created a family-friendly blog web site:
http://www.wtflolomgbbq.com and I've been adding content pretty much everyday, even as I write my own CMS software. Once I get the basic functionality down (Blogging engine, commenting, forums, private messaging, and image management), and finalize how I plan on doing customization, I am going to set up that software here and start getting this site ready for a full launch.
Please head over to
http://www.wtflolomgbbq.com and register (so you can comment). Make it a daily stop.... I can't guarantee the videos won't be blocked by your work proxies, but everything I post will be "family friendly" and safe for the work environment.
Truckers React to Turnpike Plans
5/21/2008 8:24:29 PM
A leading trucker organization in the state is speaking out against leasing the Pennsylvania Turnpike. They say the deal isn't in the best interest of Pennsylvanians and area trucking companies agree.
Officials with Ward Trucking in Altoona don't like either of the big plans to fund transportation in the commonwealth.
William Ward Sr. says leasing the turnpike and increasing tolls and putting new tolls on Interstate 80 is going to drive their costs up again, and they'll have to pass those costs on to consumers.
Trucker Bob Reviews The Best Stops Along I-75

I do a lot of driving up and down the I-75 corridor, and I think I've tried just about every truck stop along the way! As every trucker knows, good eating is more than food that tastes great, or that's cheap. We can't stop because the burger we ate 20 miles ago hasn't settled down. Luckily, I've discovered the best places to eat that won't offend your taste buds, stomach or wallet. A couple of them are even full service stops, which means I don't have to waste time when the truck is down for some repairs! Heck, one of the stops I frequent even has live entertainment, and that sure beats the usual drone of the radio on some of those long haul trips...
