Now that Macromedia is gone, it’s all Adobe now but this is really a Macromedia creation. I am learning a new development technology at work now. It’s called Flex. It’s best summed up as a scripting language for Flash. It gets rid of the Flash timeline (great for the non-artist types) and everything is tag-based, [...]
I’m in the process of changing the company that I registered my domain (guiroo.com) with. Just in case this address goes blank in the next day or two, don’t go into a state of panic. Stop, take a deep breath and know that everything will be okay. Be patient and it will return as soon [...]
Good-bye Macromedia. It’s been fun. It already seems strange not having you around anymore. Change is difficult.
For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about … imagine a world where Coca-Cola merges with Pepsi and drops the entire Coke identity. What a blue world it would be.
Not too much going on. Just watching the news coverage of the hurricane destruction and working on a worship team database.
I’m just building the song data entry portion now but I hope to build an app where you can design set lists around criteria that you enter per song as you prepare for a service. [...]
And now for something on the edge of meaningless compared to my last post. Well I’m starting a new project at work. I’m adding another level of enhancements to an online tool that has already been created. I got to take a tour of how the tool works, observe how the business uses it, and [...]
Ahhhh the kids stayed with Regina’s parents this weekend so we had a whole two days sans kids. We had forgotten what it’s like to eat a dinner without having to make sure the little ones eat. After dinner we went to a bookstore to sit and read together - not the most romantic thing [...]
In trying to come up with something interesting to say, I think I’m a bit talked out for now. I’ve talked a lot about general concepts & ideas, now it is time to try some real-world applications. Hopefully this will lead to more discussion about new concepts and ideas. I guess things go in cycles [...]
Well I’ve got a new little site going live this weekend - just need to do last minute content tweeks. It is for a commercial real estate appraiser and consultant, Miller Real Estate Advisors. So if you need any of this type of work done then be sure to check out www.millerrea.com. I’m also ramping [...]
Here’s one of the defining stories of my web designing journey:
Circa 1998 : One night when working late on a project, the design team decided to order a pizza. We decided to compare pizza websites and see where we should order from. First, we tried Dominos. We didn’t get very far because their server was [...]
It’s funny, at work the guy who is teaching me Coldfusion is a CF expert who was also a math major in college. Now I’ve never had a single class on basic programming concepts. I’m just kinda picking it up as I go. Anyway, as he is talking to me, I’d say a good 60% [...]
