We have all had the days where we get so tired and burnt out, we feel like smoke is coming out of our ears. And yes, I feel that way as well.
One of the things I have to start considering is Session State, and how its stored by php. I would love to have a session object that recognizes what computer you are on regardless of browser and the selected tab. Unfortunately, since companies "share" IP addresses and local networks get assigned random ones. I'm most likely gonna stick with a speciallized cokkie that all the widgets read and understand.
Mind as well reinvent the internet while I'm add it. Shades of green. Lol :)

Developing the Username Widget.
We are developing what appears to be a very small widget. A widget where we display the EGT world's user name, if the user is logged in. A example of the widget is shown on the second column on this very page.
Its simple, it just outputs the user name or "Guest (Log In)" as pure text. We are hoping to start adding a web presence widget, a website commenting widget, website rating application, an IM widget and whole slew of different widgets.
Including the possibility of getting the user name via server side code (like php, asp .net), kinda like OpenID. Only EGT World's would control the Log In and Authentication process. All you would have to do is store the user's settings under his/her username.
Kinda neat, but we are far from that. Since we are creating are widgets to intergrate well with your style, and making sure they are secure.

Introducing a Social Network for Websites - EGT Worlds
Hey everyone, I'm Justin Kazmierczak. Owner of the new site EGT Worlds.
It's not like most sites, search engines, web directories, or for that matter it is not a normal social network either. It’s a perfect blend of all the above, at least in theory.
EGT Worlds is the first social network designed to increase a website's appearance, communication, visibility, and social features. That is defiantly a mouth full, but don't count it out yet take a look at the new and exciting website. It will blow your socks away, and have your mouse beg for more... Okay that was a bit lame but you get the idea.
Let me walk you through some if its daring features and you can tell me what you think.
1. The first thing you will notice is the World's sleek design.
EGT Worlds was first designed by a guy from Away Back Designs, and as you can tell he did a pretty good job. After some tweaks from me, it was apparent that I'd have to take the style and mesh it into every page. A bit painstaking at first, but the results were fantastic.
2. It’s a Search Engine - of sorts.
EGT Worlds is sort of a search engine, designed to help you find what you need to find quickly. However its search engine capabilities do not rival that of Google, Yahoo, or for that matter any normal search engine site. The one ‘thing’ it has over any of ‘those’ search engines is its ability to have people comment and discuss the website. As well as allowing people to rate the searched website, right from the search results.
If I did not mention before, each search result comes with a sneak preview screenshot, which comes from my own special application that renders the browser in IE like format. I know you were hoping for a Firefox engine, not a Microsoft IE one. Eventually I'm goanna get a more web compliant browser for screenshots, but it was a lot easier for me to use IE than it was for me to recompile the Mozilla Fire Fox engine each time I want to make a 2 second line change.
3. Website and User Profiles - Yea a MySpace for My Web Space - ???
Okay, it seems a bit awkward to have a MySpace profile for a good looking and already market website. Right? Well if you are answering No, than great you'll love this part. Each Site added to the EGT World's database is given a profile where any EGT World user can comment and rate it. It's like having your own personal User Group, without the extra hassle and assorted problems.
If you answered yes, than you can simple wait for the developing Widgets to be released out of our development site. They are small lines of javascript that help integrate your website with EGT Worlds. For instance, someone finds your site from anywhere, like Google, they like what they see and then they see a section to paste comments and to rate this site. Right from my site? Yes. The user can say how Forshizel your site is, or how totally freak in' awesome it is. You can loath in awesomeness... that is if your users really find your site awesome.
4. Its completely, well almost completely, web 2.0 -ish.
EGT Worlds is web 2.0 (like), web standard compliant, CSS code is pristine clean, JavaScript uses Ajax (the widgets will use Ajax as well), and everyone is happy. It's a webmasters dream, a marketing tool that works for them and that screams, "My Marketing department finally has something to do (Yeah me)."
Cue applause.
