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).
Not long ago we bought a new (to us) vehicle to replace an aged commuter. We decided on a lower mileage 2003 Honda Pilot. Not long after I was coming back to work and once I put the car in park noticed that the idle was surging. It would rise and then lower over and over. I was less then thrilled, but I turned to my trusty friend the internet to a site I had recently joined – Piloteers.org. I went about searching for what might be the problem, and wouldn’t you know it there was a post from some time ago talking about it.
I’m the middle of building a new company website, something that will bring them into the 21st century. With that thought in mind, I need to develop a back end for employees to log in and update their own information. This is of course centered around their log in credentials.
