I have so many open projects right now. It makes it impossible to finish anything. I think it’s important to start a job and finish it, no matter how small the project is, just to keep your head in the game. I tried that tonight. I completely overhauled and cleaned up my jQuery cookbook area. It didn’t take that long, but I feel much better about it now. All of the pages use Google Analytics to track traffic, and they all use a system to include the JS files so I can add/subtract plugins easier.
I also updated the blog to use gzip on the javascript files. This saved about 100k in bandwidth for a first-time visitor. Probably no one will notice, but it was a mini-project that I can now put in the “finished” category. It feels good.
My next jQuery project is to chip in on the documentation making mini-demos. I am not sure how much this is needed. There are so many people working on the jQuery project, in different areas. A new UI package is coming out; the wiki; plugins. So much going on. I really wish I could be using jQuery every day. Right now, I use PowerPoint everyday. It’s just not the same.
Whatya think?
