After being asked to help get the SimpleModal Contact Form demo running on a Drupal powered site, I decided to try and turn it into a Drupal Module. Based on my SimpleModal Contact Form (SMCF) WordPress Plugin, I was able to create something which I think is now ready for a beta release.
The details can be found on the project page. The module was built for Drupal 6.x, so give it a try and let me know if you find any issues.
Yesterday, on September 24, I turned 34! Which means I was born in 1974. What do all of those have in common...4.
4 is my favorite number and it has been for as long as I can remember. Some other random thoughts:
- My sons, Caden and Cooper, are 3 and 4, respectively.
- "Four is the only number in the English language for which the number of letters in its name is equal to the number itself." - Wikipedia
- Kirby Puckett, one of my childhood "idols" wore number 34.
Saturday (9/20) morning, we took our boys, Cooper (4) and Caden (3), to a nearby park. I had planned on reading the newspaper while the boys played, but decided to join them on the playground. I took Caden down a big three-story slide, which he was apprehensive about, but I convinced him to go. The ride down was a little rough and both of Caden’s Crocs were torn off on the way down. Unfazed, he climbed right back up to the top and begged me to take him again.
This isn't a new topic, but I had the need to create a custom jQuery selector today, so I thought I'd share. Whether you are a jQuery newbie or seasoned pro, you know that jQuery has very powerful selectors. In addition to the class and id selectors, there are over 30 selection expressions that use the colon syntax (:first, :even, :hidden, :input, etc.). If one of the existing selectors doesn't fit your needs, jQuery provides you the flexibility to create your own!
After receiving numerous "downloading" errors (0x80040508), I was finally able to install Google's new browser, Chrome.
Suppressing the temptation to try out all of the new features, I jumped right in and started surfing the web. I'm actually using Chrome to type up this post and so far, everything seems to be working fine.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist the title. Perhaps short of true pandemonium, the new jQuery.com redesign has caused quite a stir. It sounds like they are going to make some changes, so I'm adding a screenshot for historical reference:
What was your first initial impression of the redesign?
Update: Order has been restored and the Rock Star is dead!
Despite the vast improvements in Firefox 3, I've still been using Firefox 2 because of the instability of Firebug 1.2 (beta versions). The final Firebug 1.2 version was released recently, and many of the issues have been resolved, however, I thought I'd post the steps I took to run both Firefox versions together:
"Calling all designers, developers, information architects, project managers, writers, editors, marketers, and everyone else who makes websites. It is time once again to pool our information so as to begin sketching a true picture of the way our profession is practiced worldwide."
I just finished taking the A List Apart's 2008 survey for people who make websites. The survey was well done and only took 5-10 minutes to complete. I'm looking forward to seeing the final report based on everyone's feedback!
If your profession is one mentioned above, make sure to provide your feedback!
