			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well&#8230; I&#8217;ve been part of a really cool community called the <em>Titan Network</em> since October of 2008. It&#8217;s a webring of great sites and services for the <a title="City Of Heroes Official Website" href="http://cityofheroes.com" target="_blank">City Of Heroes</a> players.</p>
<p>I was brought in to help SuckerPunch/Dan Cunha make his original script known as &#8220;SuckerPunch&#8217;s Online Planner&#8221; even better than it was before by bringing in a series of useful calculations that would normally only be found in an application.</p>
<p>Well&#8230; a few months pass and Titan founders Sean, Terry and Dan all go into &#8220;semi-retirement&#8221; and leave the network to TonyV, the founder of <a title="Paragon Wiki" href="http://paragonwiki.com" target="_blank">ParagonWiki.com</a>, and myself.</p>
<hr />Now, I don&#8217;t pretend to be the originator of these sites, but I am responsible for a lot that goes on these sites. We also have a few of extremely knowledgable developers to backing us up. SaintNicster (Nick Fajardo) and Fleeting Whisper (Brain Shields) I could name of the top of my head&#8230; but there are more and there will be more and it&#8217;s just an awesome group of people.</p>
<p>With that said, let&#8217;s get to the point I&#8217;m posting this.</p>
<p>Current Titan Projects:</p>
<ul>
<li>PvPEC (Titan Events)
<ul>
<li>Changing the name from the PvPEC to Titan Events, because I plan on making it to support more than just the PvP aspect of the game</li>
<li>It will be a script the utilizes the characters listed in City Info Tracker and allow users to start events, T/S Forces, tournaments, etc&#8230;</li>
<li>And very to user calender script to export into what ever application or device they wish to use this information in</li>
<li>Possibly a module on Glycerine to let people know that there is an event they&#8217;re signed up to about to start(?)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>TNA Revamp
<ul>
<li>Well, my first script on Titan was the TNA &#8220;Titan Network Administrator&#8221; which was literally me just attempting my first stab at using and utilizing the <a href="http://codeigniter.com" target="_blank">CodeIgniter</a> Framework, so it didn&#8217;t work as well as I (and everyone else) had hoped.</li>
<li>This new version features an array of ajax scripts and much friendlier navigation and UI for the moderators and admins to administer different aspects of the network.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Flagship Revamp
<ul>
<li>The main site (http://cohtitan.com) has been in dire need for an upgrade for awhile&#8230; although the basic look and feel are relatively the same&#8230; there was a complete overhaul made to the code behind it.</li>
<li>Includes full PayPal Donation support and keeps track of every penny donated by each invisual user to see within their own account settings</li>
<li>Will include a full-blown FAQ and Tutorial module for users still wildered on how to use our sites and service</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>COHFaces
<ul>
<li>My least favorite site on the Network, but the most traffic and used site&#8230; lol</li>
<li>It&#8217;s code is pretty solid, however it needs an overhaul as it is coded on what seems like a php4 mindset.
<ul>
<li>Needs __construct() functions instead of calling the function by the class name</li>
<li>Need to change out all $_POST with CodeIgniter <abbr title="Cross-site Scripting">XSS</abbr> checks for ajax calls</li>
<li>Condense ajax controllers into one master controller with multiple functions.</li>
<li>Update the authentication class to create a faces session (currently creating cit session&#8230; don&#8217;t ask, lol)</li>
<li>Migrate authentication class to database session as cookies have  a limit and we&#8217;re getting dangerously close.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>COH Online Planner
<ul>
<li>Eventually finish Dan&#8217;s handy work and get a online version of a comprensible library of builds</li>
<li>Somehow link this and Mids&#8217; Hero &amp; Villain Designer (MxD) to talk to each other.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>MxD
<ul>
<li>Address my issues with it</li>
<li>Update to make fully current with all the right numbers and attributes</li>
<li>Address old issues with it</li>
<li>Luckily we have Fleeting Whisper who is creating a Cross-Operation System version of the script in Java, which will be nice and eventually force the original source into retirement.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>There is more, but it&#8217;s smaller stuff and just haven&#8217;t gotten around to it is all.</p>
<p>FUN!</p>
