This will be an incredibly short post because it is late and I want to head to bed. However I just wanted to express how much I am enjoying my recently purchased iPad. The functionality seems endless and I cannot wait for more and more applications to become available.
Currently I am writing this post on my iPad quite comfortably in the wordpress application. It makes posting to here a breeze and has a variety of new functionality as opposed to the iPhone version.
Anyhow just wanted to say for anyone hating on the iPad or anyone wondering if it is right for them, don’t make your decision until you hold one in your hands, it is quite the feeling. Lastly imagine the possibilities!
Well, as some of you may know, IE6 can be hell for designers and developers, myself included. I recently StumbledUpon, this video by Eli Röss and could not resist sharing it. It simply gives the straight facts, so too anyone still using IE6, well, I doubt you are looking at my site so, whatever, but remember if your client asks for IE6 compatibly, gladly agree, and be sure to include an adjusted rate for all the hours of heartache you will go through making their site compatible.
Anyhow, on with the show. Hope you enjoy.
Wow! I am a posting machine tonight. Another great stumble lead me to this jQuery beast that lets developers do a very wicked hover glow using the ever so flexible jQuery library. Anyhow, check it out here, for those who want to implement, well, I am sure you can figure it out. (View Source) 
Also, I would have given a shout out to the author, however it seems the site doesn’t offer much insight into the offer. Just the meat and potatoes of the library/script/code, whatever.
Courtesy of Freelance Folder (so good I had to repost and link). It truly has some great plugins, some I am not overly keen on, but others I already use or have started using. For example, Technical Support for your clients WordPress deployment, which allows them to actually submit tickets to you. It works delightfully. Anyhow, below is the excerpt from Freelance Folder, check it out.
Well, I think it is safe to say I have been a little slow one getting everything going on here. To be frank, the primary reason is my day job and multiple freelance contracts with intersecting deadlines. I will however be working my hardest to do some of the following:
- Get all of my portfolio pieces online, there are a lot, and only one up here is representative of my work
- A minimum of one blog post a week (I would love to do five, but realistically, lets start with one)
- Some new headers, although I don’t mind the header on the portfolio page, I think it could offer more.
Anyways… a little update to what I have been getting involved in recently.
- Took a full time, permanent merchandising/promotions role at Conestoga College, very excited to start! This position is growth in the right direction and offer some serious long-term possibilities!
- Finishing work on the Sportco Source for Sports site, their current one is in a major need of updating, this should be launching in the coming week
- Securing new contract work with the following local businesses: Siht Optical (Bauer Lofts) and Melitsa’s (The Belmont Village)
- There are couple other sites that are coming down the pipe but the above ones are the priority as of current.
I think that is all for now and hope everyone keeps checking back for updates as I will be getting portfolio items up as quick as possible.
