Just a Thought

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.


— Elizabeth Kubler-Ross




Web Development

Eye in the Sky

Graphic Design, Odd & Unexpected, Web Development

Someone Watching?Someone Watching?The SonQuest Christian youth event is now 3 months away. This week, I received new information from the SonQuest organizing committee. So, I've been working on a website update and (more ambitious) a new site design that supports this year's theme -- "The Final Frontier - 2007: A Faith Odessy."



 

BrowserShots - Your Website in Different Browsers

Graphic Design, Web Development

Today I found a great, free web design resource. Browsershots.org is an online service that takes any web address (URL) that you enter and attempts to create screenshots in multiple browsers and multiple platforms. This is extremely helpful to me as a way to test a graphic design/website layout in Microsoft Internet Explorer on Windows -- a browser that is notorious for Cascading Style Sheet layout bugs.

Web Development

Today I got the bright idea to cross-link the regular TrueJoy website with the new “TrueJoy D-Blog” site. That way the old TrueJoy won’t be completely orphaned; my family will still be able to go there and see all the latest entries. With “Really Simple Syndication” (RSS) it should be easy to display the RSS feed from D-Blog as a block inside TrueJoy. Should be... but wasn’t.



 

Grades and Graphic Design

Academic Studies, Graphic Design, Web Development

Just a few minutes ago I logged into FSU’s online system (blackboard) and checked my grades for the Spring ‘07 semester. The good news is that half-way through Grad School I still have straight A’s! The bad news is one of them was an A-, so I don’t quite have a 4.0 GPA anymore. Oh well. I’m still doing better than I’d expected, so I’m content.
