CSS Prefixes – The current battle

April 30, 2018Filed under: Web DevelopingComment

So, don’t tell anyone, but over the past month, in the web pages I was creating, I kind of . . . . wasn’t very consistent with my CSS coding.

Sometimes I would use the -webkit- prefix, but most times I would just skip the thing and just write box-shadow: 1px 2px 4px #414042 (or whatever) about twelve lines below a -webkit-box-shadow declaration. I’m sure it’s not a big deal. I mean, the site worked. But it bothered me that I even did things like that. Because, why should I even have to use the prefix? (more…)

So guess what I did this week!

It’s part of an iPad app for people in the pharmaceutical industry. You see, when you drag the little slider thing from Partial to Full, the image, which starts off at slightly healthy skin, gradually fades into horrible bloody flesh wound. It’s pretty rad stuff.

Hey. Today I figured out a problem I was having with one site. Just had to hack a JavaScript file to allow more parameters. Once that was done I was golden.

Funny how the easiest thing to do was the last option I explored.

I should go into more detail. But I think I will in the morning. It’s midnight.

Well look who’s as pleased as fruit punch

OK so I’ve been spending some time today adding one of those “FIND A STORE” locators to a website. And with a little direction, I came up with something that works. For now.

I guess tomorrow I’ll get the front-end part done. Once I get the MySQL password information.

So, Daylight Savings Time

So here’s the thing. If you know me, you probably are tired of me saying this every single year. One night, I stayed up until almost three in the morning because I had nothing better to do that Sunday, and I wanted to see what’s going on in TV-Land. Some cable station was showing the …

I just installed this theme called Yoko, by elmastudio.

It looks pretty and everything, but . . . . oops . . . . since I’ve used the banner image of each post as its thumbnail (because that’s how the old theme operated) . . . well, it’s like too much image duplication. And I am not a fan of this.

Although I am a fan of kitten randomly jumping up on chair arm and chirping at me.

Jason shows you more songs he’s recorded. Mostly because he doesn’t really wanna go out and drink himself drunk.

Hey, it’s a procrastination/coping mechanism. And it works.

August 15, 2018Filed under: You know, stuffComment

Jason’s current obsession is to learn how to play a musical instrument that is not as cool as the guitar. The ocarina seems to fit the bill. What do you think?
