February 17th was the date all TV’s in the US were supposed to all… something or other… I dont care. Here’s the new Idea. If Congress and … friends… in the FCC can mandate a day for you to lose the significantly inferior signal of analog cable, no matter how attached you’ve become to it… get ready… could we add a little sidenote into this legislation saying…
On the Same Day TV’s go Digital, If you have not joined the latter half of your decade by upgrading from Internet Explorer 5/6 to at Least IE7, you will be at risk for the following:
- PC initiates self-format to erase your whole fail-worthy pc.
- all social networking & email sites will cancel and ban your account
- any amount of money currently held in a bank account you check regularly online will be forfeit to web developers and designers who have spent DAYS bent over backwards trying to accomodate and coddle your blatant disregard for the progress of technology by simply clicking “UPDATE NOW,”
- you will be formatted from the face of the interwebz!!
- polariods and hard copies of photos of cherished family members will go missing!
- your car will develop a strange smell that you’ll never be able to put your finger on nor will you be able to ignore it!
I’m no writer nor politicial anything, so I’m sure someone removed from my current irritation can easily remove the hate from this fine, fine piece of legislation. In the words of St. John Stewart, “Make it so, monkey paw!”

I’ve been doing a lot of bug-fixing lately. .. a lot. Like more tracking down errors than tracking down food. Pretty much the only thing keeping me going these days, is that I can’t go out with IE6 still unbelievably holding 20% of the browser market share?! “IE7 just looks funny…” yeah well you using IE6 is the reason my foot it making your crotch look funny.
What a week.
StaffMaster 0.7.whoknows finally passed its bug-free exam. Well.. as far as I know. Between version 0.6.5 and 0.7.0 I came close to quadrupling the lines of code and database settings fields… I *did* quadruple the number of template views it easily lets you display… I gotta hand it to Joomla for giving me a simple, almost failproof way of browser testing.
Ok, less talky… more drawings…

Man, I’m all over the place lately. Actionscript 3 projects… PHP Development… what’s next? Crochet you say? Maybe finally master Bocce ball?
So, I’ve been working on a new project as of late. In doing a site redesign for an older site of mine, I’ve been using Joomla!Framework to structure and build the new site. I’ve used a number of different PHP frameworks and CMS’s over the years, notably Joomla, Drupal, CakePHP, CodeIgnitor, and Wordpress, and I just really, really love Joomla. Maybe thats because I’ve spent so much time ‘under the hood’ in development, but to me, this CMS/Framework just makes sense and speeds up my development on new sites.

JPE finally launched today after 2.5 months in development in what should have taken maybe 4-6 weeks. Why the bloated and distended timeline? Why I’m glad you asked! I’m currently looking back thru emails and notes trying to figure that out.

Any time I’m discussing coding with a few friends, I find myself feeling like a huge coder-poser for my love of pre-made frameworks and open-source CMS’s. As I get around to showing a client or friend the backend administration area of a site, I always cringe when they love it because I know the discussion will roll around to me saying, “yeah, I actually didn’t code all that but used an open-source content management system.” And they respond, “…oh.. well neat…”
