Added a toolbox for downloads and stuff
I added toolbox over there on the left. For now there is just one live script, but I'll be adding stuff in the next few weeks, so check back.
I also decided to convert this section into a blog format, mainly so I could keep people up to date and let everyone know what I'm working on. Next I'll spend some time figuring out how this list of posts is going to be handled as they stack up. Then I want to take the Surfline RSS feed and see if I can't get a cool surf report on this page. I tried it a few days ago, but it was too long. I'll need to tweak it to make it harmonize better with the site.
This is where the magic happens
Here you will find a collection of some of my work, as well as useful tools, articles and sites.
The purpose of this site is to serve not only as a showcase for my better work, but also as my web playground. Many websites I construct are value engineered by the client, and because of this, I am not able to really get into some of the newer, cutting-edge technologies. So I use this site not only to show my work, but also to test out new web tools such as font services (soon to come).
Over the past weekend I bought a book about jQuery. I already know JavaScript very well, but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with jQuery. The rumors are true, it is indeed quicker to write than JavaScript. It's actually pretty easy to pick up if you know JavaScript, it's just a slight restructuring of syntax. The nice thing about it (and this is apparently the number one need for it) is that it fills in the gaps in browser variations. So with jQuery you pretty much have to write your code once. Of course you still have to test, but this removes 99% of the headaches.
