In my mind, I can hear the them to Picture Pages playing in the background – because I want to remind you that in my quest to be a better web developer (and share with the world) I started this “toolbox” so I could keep a cataloged stockpile of simple easy to use tricks to make my life easier – plus I wanted to share…
I thought I’d start a new Category called “Toolbox”, specifically for what I use on a daily basis for web development. These are snippets, functions, cheats, etc that anyone can use and make my life as a web developer that much easier…
So who caught this show the othe night? While I’m old enough to remember the original, and sadly have watched episodes of the series recently, I thought I’d give it a whirl. It was decent, something to fill the void, but man could it be any more transparent?
The who bit on universal health care, using the media, and youth groups wasn’t very discrete – even though I liked that. I’ve noticed lately a lot of picks at the Obama adminstration lately on tv and I think it’s pretty awesome.
I’ll continue to watch for no othe reason then it having some Firefly actors on it -as long as it stays interesting to…
While it seems like a bad idea to try and post a full length post from your iPhone or iPod, I think using it to post shorter side posts might be whre this application shines.
It’s that time of year again! The snap is in the air, the leaves are changing, and it’s time once again to make apple cider. For the past 3 years we’ve gotten together with my wife’s family to participate in making as much apple cider as we can with as many apples as we can get. It’s an all day event, which usually last into the dark of the evening. This year was no exception.
It’s no secret – well if you’ve been listening to me for the past few days, that I’ve been upset with GoDaddy’s free web hosting. I have a side project for a client, and it needed an admin back end done – something to edit the pages, nothing crazy or too difficult and since I love JQuery, I add in some eye candy because it makes it easier to use.
When I got married, my wife brought along some recipes. One of those was for a dish called Swiss Cheese Chicken. It really was just a good, simple dish – and I love it. Last night was one of those nights that I actually had some time to cook dinner – I love cooking, no doubt about it, I do love it.
The Project
In one of my projects, I thought it would be cool to have a drop down select box trigger a slide down for the results, then slide up and slide back down when a new choice was selected. Seemed pretty easy, but when I got into it, it wasn’t as easy as I thought at first. But in all reality it turned out to be super easy.
So it’s Saturday night, and I’m feeling alright. But I’m bored, and I’ve been kind of coped up too long in the house. Then came the critical question “What should we have for dinner?”. I hate that question, because it’s generally at the point where I’m hungry and ready to just call it and go somewhere for food that makes me and the family ill or that we could make for a whole lot cheaper (yes, I’m pretty addicted to going out to eat, even with all it’s pit falls and side effects).
