TrueJournals was originally AIMJournals and it was my first real website project.  It had a big member base (over 500, that’s big for a first project), and I spent a lot of time on it.  Unfortunately, the person who gave me the idea for it wanted to sell it once it got popular.  However, I would not let him.  Eventually, he came up with a fake Cease and Desist letter from AOL saying that we were infringing their copyright by using “AIM” in our domain name.  Even more unfortunate is the fact that I believed it, so I, along with some other people who were working on AIMJournals decided to change the name to TrueJournals and do a complete redesign.

However, the name change failed.  We didn’t let the user base know in time, we had trouble getting everything working with the new template, and I had lost interest with the project.  TrueJournals died shortly after, and has been just blank for a while.

Now, I am reviving it.  Not as the old TrueJournals, but as my personal website.  On the suggestion of a friend, the whole site is a wordpress blog and it is a new experience for me.  Because of this, you might notice some rapid changes in the site.  One day you might visit and suddenly notice we’ve changed themes, you might notice small new features, etc, etc.  While I have worked with wordpress in the past, never this intensely.

This site will be the home to any project I can think up.  From my Rockbox GUIEncode program to random snippets of PHP code.  I hope you enjoy it!
