Fun with XML…

No comments

My idea: Click on a contact in the list and the detailed information of that contact will automagically (that’s a technical term) appear on the right hand side of the screen along with an edit and a delete button.  Well I figured since I was taking the time to do this with asynchronous javascript, I [...]

XML is confusing

No comments

I’ve been working on a “prettier” version of the PeopleArray.com. Check it out. If you are using Firefox, check out the JavaScript console after you click on a contact in the list. As of 9:40PM, the XML I’m producing is “not well formed”! WTF does that mean?! This all started after I added the header(“Content-Type: [...]

Painting again…

No comments

As if painting as much as we have been lately wasn’t enough…we are painting another room!  We are painting Aaron’s bathroom and a peach color (pictures to follow soon) then we are going to create our own linen closet by semi-destroying the guest-room closet upstairs.  We are going to take down all of the wire [...]

In my quest for a .com domain for my online contact list, I’ve decided (read: luckily found) a .com that I like: PeopleArray.com. I will use the mypeeps.us address as my “development” site, thus replacing dev.mypeeps.us. I’ve moved the development blog to peoplearray.com/blog as well. Since I was changing domains anyway, I thought I would [...]

Cron Jobs

I figured out that I could use a cron job to “schedule” a time for my php script to be run everyday, independant of me calling [...]

Work bitching…

No comments

Holy sheep shit Batman! I’ve got too many projects…not that I’m complaining…a lot… Anyway, I’ve got some price increase activity, some damage claim bugs, splitting the PT for the eventual deletion of the GLGLE and GLGLX tables (to be replaced with the newer, fancier (and shinier) GLGLI and GLGLO tables), not to mention bugs in [...]

Two kids…oh my!

No comments

Right now I’m watching two two-year olds: Aaron and Anika. Anika is our neighbor’s daughter and we’re watching her because her mom just gave birth to their new son. After some initial silliness from myself, these two are playing like they actually like each other! They actually love each other, they are about the closest [...]

I haven’t been able to do any new *major* development/re-development since Sunday when Meri and Aaron got back. I know there is a ton to do and are a few cool js frameworks I want to implement/try out. I just can’t find the time! I knew when they got back that my nights of staying [...]
