I was walking back from Ethan’s school yesterday on the sidewalk. Suddenly, I noticed the lines in the sidewalk. Without even realizing it, I had been either avoiding or hitting the lines on the purpose with my foot. In other words, I was predicting, subconsciously, whether or not my foot would hit a line and…
Drupal 5.1 is really cool. Much easier than I expected. It needs a more robust Editor, but still, very good. I made a new challenge. The hard part is going to be figuring out how to do it in all the other frameworks. Ill do my best. 🙂 Any help greatly appreciated.
After upgrading WordPress, I was feeling lucky. I got some Powweb help and uninstalled the Drupal and Joomla that had been taking up space. I then installed the new version of Drupal 5.1. It was almost TOO easy. It just worked. Wow. Anyway, I created with it the new http://js.commadot.com. This is going tobe the…
Again, the WordPress upgrade went without a hitch. This time I went from WP 2.1 to 2.1.3. It was simple and error free. Which is more than I can say for PowWeb. Their interface still thinks I am running 2.0 and gives an error when I try to “upgrade”. It also wont let me uninstall…
When working on logos, its often hard to get started. It seems there are so many logos that have been done and you want to be original. The Web2.0 Expo had a collection on their site of sponsors. For me, it was a beautiful colelction of modern logos. The logo is such a wonderful design…
The Jets have their 2007 schedule. I am making early predictions this year. God has not said these predictions would happen. But I feel that a positive attitude is the most important thing. Only 2 weeks till draft day. I can feel the excitement. April 28-29 Draft Pick 25 – Defense – Ok, Ill make…
Apparently the blogger who writes “Creating Passionate Users” is discontinuing the blog. Take a look at the graphics at the bottom. Each one is genius. Absolute Genius. They really capture the designer’s dillema. Thanks for the inspiration, sorry to see you go.
I came across the relatively new Microsoft Ajax for asp.net and decided it had been a long time since I looked at asp.net. I sat through the video. In some ways, it’s awesome. It is so full-features, and so integrated into the IDE (Visual Studio). VS is really an awesome program. On the other hand,…
I upgraded Penny’s computer to Vista yesterday. I had my eye open for UX issues, just for professional curiosity. There were so many screw ups, that I got a little depressed. In the install, Microsoft has moved to a system that says virtually nothing about what is going on. I think they mistook the user’s…
I went to an Orthopedic to check out my elbow. It had beeen bothering me for a month or so. He says its tendonitis and will go away. I told him, "Not in my family it doesn’t. Once we get hurt, we stay hurt." But he gave me pills and suggestions. if all else fails,…
A guy on the jQuery mailing list asked how to achieve a goal. He had a table with checkboxes in them. He wanted the last checkbox to change the values of all the ones in that row. The first answer came from Roman Weich which was: $(‘input.rowChecker’).click(function(){ $(this).parent().siblings(‘.updateItems’).find(‘input[@type=checkbox]’).attr(‘checked’,this.checked);}); I loook at it and thought. Hmm, it…
The Sheild Season 6 started last night. It is the best show on television. Forest Whitaker is the hateable bad guy ever. He needs to be shot. Love this show. Matthew is wearing underwear for a few hours a day. WOO HOO! He also is obsessed with that punk rock song. HEY HO, LET’S GO! …
I just finished Katherine Graham’s Personal History. It was a very good book for 60% of the book. it went decidedly down-hill after that. I think that her earlier life held alot more interest for me because she was talking about human relationships and famous people. The later life focused on mergers and acquisitions and…
