  • 7.28.06 Live search working! posted in Asides

    I know it’s a little javascript heavy, but I wanted to get livesearch working for a little while. I had to scrap the K2 code and use this plugin. And I had to make some minor modifications to the javascript file to get it working in Firefox on my mac and I […]

  • 7.28.06 Sleepless posted in Random Thoughts

    Timeline: 8pm >> 10pm >> 1am >> 4am >> 6am (Hover over times for image). I stayed up for most of the night. I had originally intended to catch up on some work so I could take the weekend off, but my head got foggy and I couldn’t get up the motivation or the creativity to work on the projects I needed […]

  • 7.18.06 Visitors from outer space posted in General

    So I was wondering where all the random test messages from all over the world were coming from on my contact form (seriously, I did reverse whois searches on the ip’s) and I realized that Dustin Diaz had actually posted my comment on his blog announcing my contact form. Now I’m a little […]

  • 7.14.06 So far over the top… posted in General

    Okay, it’s time to stop. I’ve put together a contact form that’s so convoluted and complicated I might never be able to repeat it. I’ll clean up the code and share it with anyone who wants it. I stole most of it anyway. Well, I rewrote most of it, and […]

  • 7.11.06 more AJAX posted in General

    Wow.  I did lose a lot of sleep, but I built my own (way too complicated) AJAX contact form, and got that uploader working.  The contact form is my pride and joy right now and I’ll post a version of it in a bit.  It uses realtime field verification to let you know if […]

  • 7.9.06 What’s Brett losing sleep over now? posted in General

    AJAX, that’s what. If you don’t know, you can find out here. I’m waiting for enough wisdom to have compiled itself within the bizarre repository that is the world wide web for a book to be written for designers that can make this stuff really useful. I can do a […]

  • 6.29.06 Accessibility posted in General

    Our site was suffering from some major accessibility issues: browsers without javascript couldn’t access the text content in the sliding panes, screen readers ignored the entire sliding pane section, etc.  A little DOM javascript in the header fixed the problem for us, creating a readable page first and then adding styles to the appropriate […]

  • 6.24.06 Website Updates posted in Website Updates

    I made some tweaks to the website to make it as cross-browser compatible as possible. It still won’t work on ancient browsers, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make in this case. All currently supported browsers are compatible with the website. I fixed bugs in Safari and Netscape, and made […]
