I'm out of my sister's house. Got a roommate. Still at the new job - not so "new" anymore. Haven't posted in a while. I've been lazy. I'm going to try and shift the focus of the blog (this site) away from me and more to tech stuff. So let's do that...

I added an extra little feature to the comments a couple nights ago to combat bot spam. There's a new field on the 'Add Comment' form that should be ignored. The tip even says to leave it blank. Somewhat confusing, I know but hopefully it will help prevent the bot posts. There's another new security measure, but I'll keep that a secret ;)

Next is a fun JavaScript problem(?) I ran into today that has to do with variable scope and for loops. Basically, the browser is getting confused between two separate for loops in two separate functions that use the same iterator variable....

After 3 LONG weeks I've finally got all my computers back online! A lot has happened since I moved and I probably won't remember most of it, but I'll try...

The move started out about as shitty as one could imagine. I had to put Kate down the first day I was here. I still miss her. I'd had her since she was born and she was my first real pet. I bought her food, I paid for her vet vists, and everything else a pet owner does. She was the sweetest cat. Unlike her offspring, she never hurt me even when she was playing. She was the best. It was a very tough decision to have her put down but even the vet said that her chances were slim  and what would most likely happen is I could drop up to $1,200 and still end up with a dead cat. I cried like a little baby over it but I feel better about it now. I was able to bring her home (Andrea's house) and give her a "proper" burial next to one of Andrea's cats. I'll miss you Kate.

The new job ROCKS! The people...

I thought of this last night when I was trying to fall asleep. I saw an article about something similiar to this recently but I'm not sure if it was dynamic. This is what's going on...

The linked page is a simple proof-of-concept. I was thinking of writing some sort of project management and I thought it'd be nice to have an option to open links in tabs. I know, Firefox has tabs (and I use them religiously) but when I have four tabs open just trying to navigate through a project, along with the 5 other tabs for my shoutcast station, digg, the site I'm working on, etc., it's a bit cumbersome to find my way around. About an hour later, I had this.

The script uses an unordered list for the tabs and div's to contain content. Both have a little CSS to make them do what I want'm to. Next phase: closing tabs.
