I think I say this every so often, but this week I’m definately going to make a concerted effort to start on this project that I’ve been wanting to do for ages. It’s going to be quite a major undertaking as it’s going to involve a few web services. I was thinking about doing it in RoR but I think I’m going to stick with what I know best (i.e. PHP).

I’ve had a database schema in my head now for a while, so I need to get that into a database (or at least the first implementation of it) and then actually start working on the site. There’s going to be a fair bit going on in the background as well, since there’s quite a lot of stuff like video encoding (which is where the web services will come in as I plan to use AWS to do a lot of the hardcore stuff). But that will come later.

The thing that bothers me is that the site is very heavily based on User Generated Content (seems to be a bit of a buzzword at the moment), but it’s content that I can’t put together myself. Don’t want to give too much away at this point, but it involves music and unsigned bands. Now, I’m not a band, so I can’t put stuff up. If anyone has any thoughts about how best to do this, then please please let me know.
