Pardon The Dust
I've updated the website, moving away from WordPress (for various reasons). So there may be a few broken links floating about.The RSS feeds may be a bit fragile too... I updated the @.htaccess@ file to redirect the feeds correctly -- I hope. If you're having a problem with the feeds, broken links, or something else regarding the site, please let me know.
Not-So New Theme
Yes, the look of the site is different. I've upgraded WordPress and my theme didn't work so well with it. That's OK though, it gives me a chance to create a new one! Until then, I'll be using the nifty K2 theme.
Now for something completely different...
For a change of pace, here's a picture riddle for you:
The first one to post with the right answer gets -- Well, nothing actually. Respect maybe? Uh, sure, why not.
Do The Math
I read this and laughed. It's actually quite amusing. A guy does the math on why he will never have a girlfriend.
Signs That You Work(ed) in a Sweat Shop
- When you're finally ready to go home, you forget where it is
- You know all of your work-mates ringtones for everyone they know -- or used to know
- You can never remember what day it is
- The only sleep you get is in the shower... until the hot water runs out
JavaScript Controls I
The "place":http://www.picsoft.com I work puts a large emphasis on the UI(User Interface) of a web application -- so much so that the first phase of development is centered around building a "Concept Model" of the application. The CM(Concept Model) is basically a prototype on some really strong steriods. Essentially, it's the UI layer of the application, showing data interaction, and demonstrating how the system will work -- more or less.To show the data interaction, we use JavaScript and XML. Over the years here, I've been involved in dozens of CM's. As you might imagine, that's a lot of JavaScript.XML is so simple I won't bother mentioning it further. JavaScript itself is covered very well (have a look at the O'Riley book), but I'm not sure if JavaScript controls are ever talked about.Before we get too far, let me clarify something: I build JS(JavaScript) Controls for use with IE(Internet Explorer) and FireFox only. If they work on other browsers, great. But I won't waste time on browsers with so little market-share. That said, I may start testing on Safari... Just because I like it so much. ;)
I don't want to hear about your colon...
It's funny how words can have a certain "feng shui"-ness about them. They can illicit feelings for arbitrary reasons. For example, I hate the word *Colophon*.Why? I don't know. I just do. It makes me wince when I read it.Is this relevant to anything? No. No it's not.
