I love jQuery!!!

Programming Michael Comments

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share my experience with jQuery, and also give you a little sneak peek into the new Joomla extensions that I am working on. I am working on a new extension, and I hope to have it out by the end of the month. Well, anyways, as you know, Joomla 1.5 supports Mootools 1.1 out-of-the-box, and I tried to implement the Fx.Slide feature. To my dismay, it didn’t work. It just made the layer invisible and then visible again, and on top of that it had some quirks when the layers are cascaded within each other. I did a little research about it, but then I didn’t find much. However, I think maybe I need to download some kind of Mootools plugin, Mootools More, I think, to get it to work. When I tried to look for that download at the Mootools website, I couldn’t find it. I just got fed up. Then, I went to check out jQuery! Read More

To blog? or not to blog?

Hi everyone,

I haven’t been really blogging in a while. I think I have been caught between two opinions as of late.There has been a lot on my mind, especially when it comes to politics, and social science. However, I digress… mainly because I don’t want to share everything that is in my mind to share. I have been thinking about the idea of privacy, and the right to privacy, and how that impacts the web. One of the issues on my mind is that whatever I blog on will be available as public knowledge, and may be used in the future to judge who I am, especially since there is a growing trend to jump to conclusions based on non-contextual rhetoric, and twisting the semantics of an individuals statements. Anyways, I am sure I will find some sort of common ground soon, so that I can blog happily and freely again. Read More
