Seeking Next Project
I am coming to the end of a project and have an opening in my schedule. My strengths are programming in PHP, ColdFusion, JavaScript and jQuery, CSS, and HTML. I most frequently work with MySQL or MS SQL but can work on most database platforms. Code I write validates and is W3C compliant. I can also write Section 508 compliant code. I carry a project from concept to production as project manager, independent developer, and/or project team member. In addition to custom original code, I work well with open source projects and APIs. I usually telecommute but am not adverse to working onsite or traveling. I am not an artist and typically hire a graphic artist to provide the design for each project. I enjoy WordPress customizations (but have not done custom work to either Reality Me or Domestic Psychology). Please send referrals or inquiries to jugger@gmail.com or call +1-865-898-7189. Thank you!
Latest Internet Nuisance
This morning I received an email from two people who don’t normally send me email. Both emails were almost identical and inexplicable. One was sent to me while the other revealed the 87 or so email addresses it was sent to and appears to have been sent through gmail. I presume a worm, trojan or virus is sending this message to people’s complete address books. If you get one of these, you may want to let the send (not the entire mailing list) know that they need to scan their computer. Click more to see the email. Continue reading Latest Internet Nuisance

Master: Tests are meaningless. Outcomes are interesting.
Hard day of coding
My hands feel Pink Floyd swollen. Major progress made on code. Time to make major progress on dinner.

Today’s Coding Challenge
Today I am focused on debugging a custom tree control which present hierarchical data created through AJAX calls, custom JavaScript, and jQuery. The data is built dynamically so state must be maintained such that if the user navigates away from the page and returns the exact same data is presented upon return. The collapsers must close only their related data without orphaning any nodes.
The presentation was prototyped as tables nested within tables eight levels deep. Yesterday this was corrected to be a single table with rows dynamically added and removed which broke the handlers. Before someone throws the word sematic out without thinking, a table is semantically correct in this situation. Time to get back to handling the handlers.
Coded Self Into a Hole
Had a rockin’ day of coding today. Started fixing some problems. Used jQuery to fix a cross-browser issue and simultaneously made my code lighter. Since this project is an evolutionary prototype, I got bold and evolved a piece of code that was holding the project back. In the process, many things broke of course and I’ve been going through fixing those issues. The code is looking prettier and lighter and the project looks better. Unfortunately, in my weariness, I started to put more bugs in than I was taking out so its time to call it a day.

Today’s Background Process
Today I am moving/archiving 10 years of email from Outlook to Gmail. Yes, I should probably just delete it but I still look stuff up on occasion and I am curious to see how this impact’s Gmail’s searching speed.
