New Site Design

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

I’ve updated the look of my site. I think it’s a bit more modern. I also got a bit fancy with my background image. I’m obsessed with randomness, so i wanted to make sure I could have a random background image. That part is easy.

Ajax

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

I’m currently in the middle of reworking the order pages for my company, and i’m using the very popular Javascript libraries(Prototype & Scriptaculous) to do so. It’s pretty fun. I’m a little dissappointed that Prototype doesn’t have xml responses built-in, but I guess I’ll have a little challenge adding that functionality.

AJAX - Good or Evil?

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

I was tired of living in the early 2000’s so I changed my kpages rss feed service to AJAX….

But lo and behold, I like it a lot better the way it was before. I used to load the entire page, and every feed all at once. When a user wanted to read a feed it would appear. Now it loads the first page REALLY fast, but loads the feeds a little too slow for my liking.

Compare old vs. new.

But you probably want to know how I did it.
