Alright, so the title for this entry really should be "Under Construction," but for me those words splayed across a web page with the obligatory yellow hardhat, and perhaps a flashing orange light, bring on too many painful memories of Internet years gone past. I just can't bring myself to speak of it, the pain haunts me so.
In reality I am working on tweaking the layout and function of this site, not to mention playing with Serendipity, the power behind the pretty screen. Thus far I like what I am seeing with Serendipity as a backend, and am quite content with the choice. Now granted with the PHP applications developed by myself and others who have worked with Proverbs in the past, we probably could have come up with something that would have been exactly what I wanted. The main problem? I have no idea what I wanted for this, and still don't.
I am also horrible at designing nice layouts, as anyone who has used Helpdesk ver 1.2 or the original design of the Proverbs Web Calendar can attest to. Function always comes first in my mind, but I digress from the substance of this entry. I settled on Serendipity for a variety of reasons that will eventually, one can hope, be a blog entry of its own. It seems quite powerful, secure (well as secure as anything on the Internet can be), and versatile. Of course I broke it within 48 hours.
So now that I set it all up, made a post, tweaked it, broke it, attempted to fix it, wiped it clean, reloaded it, tweaked it some more and am finally getting around to my second posting; I guess you could say I have a little bit of time vested into this application. And, by-golly, it is going to work for me and be exactly what I want it to be. Whatever that is.
As such, if you (all of you, any of you, anyone, "Hello, is this thing on?") are reading this, expect a little virtual dust, and perhaps a few flying cobwebs from the part of my brain that contains PHP knowledge, while I go through and over construct this new web site. Did you see how I brought that right back around to the title? Sorry. Anyway, thank you for your patience, whoever you are.

I Am. When?
I had decided a while back to do something with the Proverbs webspace, to put it to some use other than wasted Internet space. Not that Proverbs, LLC is gone, just that the purpose of the company's website, to provide "off the shelf" software via the Internet, is no longer needed. For quite some time the only item available through the Proverbs website has been our Event Calendar and I have been musing over what to do with the space.
I have also been mulling over writing further magazine or Internet articles for publication, if not a book (I know grand designs and all that). Unfortunately, life has always had a way of stealing my time away, as is the case of most everyone I imagine. Or is it that I, we, have refused to free up the time to do these things?
Perhaps, perhaps not. What I do know is that there are many projects which I have been tossing around in my head, some started and stopped, others put to the back of my mind only to resurface at another interval along this road we call life. These projects are important to me, such as my writings, or in some cases ramblings, yet I, we, always seem to find a way to push the majority aside to pursue other aspects of life. Never taking the risks, never tasting the rewards, or the failures.
And this is what IAMWHEN is about. For all the times I have been asked, or have asked myself, "Are you going to do this?" and responded "I Am." For all the times I have, to that very response, found myself asking "When?" Well... Now. So without further rambling, and on behalf of myself and Proverbs, LLC, I present IAMWHEN.COM
