ALA article ideas

Posted Tuesday, October 7th, 2003 at 8:34 am

I contacted A List Apart last week regarding a few ideas I had for upcoming articles. ALA is a great website that offers tips on improving Web design and layout. I’ve learned a lot from the site and thought it might be time to contribute.

I sent an e-mail or two off to its editors. Within a few days, they wrote back saying that my ideas have potential and I should submit an article or two for consideration. I will.

Lately, I’ve taken an interest in using CSS and PHP to create navigational lists that also indicate the current page. Kind of tough to explain it all in a single sentence, but you can get a general idea by visiting Daniel Rubin’s site. Though Daniel accomplishes the same idea in a slightly different way.

Leslie and Jessica, new neighbors

Posted Tuesday, October 7th, 2003 at 8:24 am

I have new neighbors. Well, they actually live down the street a few blocks, but they are new neighbors none the less.

This weekend, roommate Scott and I spent most of the day Sunday helping Leslie and Jessica move from Norwalk to East Norwalk. We know Leslie because she shares a desk at work with our other roommate Adam. Adam, however, wasn’t around this weekend to help her move, so Scott and I served as his replacement.

Though you wouldn’t think moving would be much fun, it actually was a good day. Met some new folks, enjoyed a few drinks, and benefited from a good workout. Welcome to the neighborhood.
