So I spent an extra hour over the last few mornings (Thursday and Friday) as well as a half hour Friday night working on a small tweak to my current blog.  I added a “splat” image whenever you move your mouse over an icon at the top of the page.  I did this primarily as I kept losing my mouse when I’d use the icons and I wanted to more clearly distinguish where you were on the menu.

I also did it as I need to use similar code on a few other projects I’m working on, but this site was the most suitable for it to be implemented in first and it was one of those things I could leave and pick up fairly easily without a huge loss if I didn’t finish it all in one sitting.

As to the process I went through it was fairly simple once I figured out how to best do it. Read the rest of this entry »

As I woke up yesterday morning I was greeted to a loving wife who looked at me and said, “I’ll get her, you sleep in.  It’s Father’s Day.”  I had completely forgotten the occasion and was too tired (as I always am) to argue.  I gratefully rolled over and slept for another few hours while Katie took care of Paisley and let me sleep.

Katie made me a beautiful Father’s Day card from Paisley that was adorable.  I never could decide what I wanted for Father’s Day (seeing how the iPhone 3G doesn’t come out until July 11th).  Read the rest of this entry »

I have a ton of stuff to blog about still, but no time right now. My wishlist: iPhone 3G, new Mac Book Pros, otherwise I’m sure I’ll love whatever I get ;) So here’s the link to the live WWDC keynote coverage I’ll be watching as much as possible (within work limitations):

And the end result that most matters:

Katie has spent a lot of time teaching Paisley what “loves” (or “luvs” as I think of them due to some diaper company marketing I’m sure) are over the past several months.  “Luvs” are when we kiss Paisley on the cheek and then she returns the favor by leaning towards our cheek with a wide-open mouth so as to distribute as much slobber as possible amongst maximum surface-area on our face.

Thought I’d take a moment to post a really quick comparison between my last job (although quite a bit of this applies to a couple of my previous jobs), and the company I’m currently contracting with Integrum Technologies.

Please note that although this list is a large portion of the differences, it is by no means all-inclusive as I can think of a ton of other differences that haven’t even been touched within this list. This is merely the most essential things to mention.
