Coming from web based mvc frameworks this seems to be a good approach. Having distinct folders for controllers, models and views. I’ve also seen others discuss grouping your code by functionality or by “screen” (view).
Its official. Teemu Selanne signed for an additional year with the Anaheim Ducks. The article on nhl.com also says that Selanne is asking for the Ducks to bring back his former teammate Paul Kariya who is currently a Free Agent after spending the past three years with the St. Louis Blues. Kariya spent his first 9 years in the NHL with the Ducks from ‘94-‘03
I’m so excited for the nhl season to start its not even funny. Go Ducks!
Over the weekend my girlfriend Alex and I visited her parents and her dad busted out his old KayPro II computer from 1983. From what I can tell its probably the first mobile computing device in existence. The entire computer packs up into some 20 pounds of machined metal disguised as a briefcase when the keyboard is clasped back on to the front.
We took off the hood so I could snap a few shots of the inside and I was blown away at how clean it was. Almost 30 years old and I couldn’t find a single sign of dust build up (likely from the fact that there are no fans blowing air in and out). Clocking in at 2.5MGhz and 64kb of ram this must have been a great little machine back in the day.
Also of interest was the 173k swap floppy disk that could be used for those large wordprocessing tasks or crunching lots of data. haha!
Just found a photo of myself (left) and Evan Jacobs from our victory at the TechFlash foosball tourney.
Pike Brewery Seasonal White Ale
Lazy Boy Golden Style Belgian Ale
Decided to enjoy some fresh local brews today. I think I enjoyed the Lazy Boy a bit more, though that could be because I finished the Pike brew first. Cheers!
Original register new account screen
Revised version
New inline jQuery validations!
My first project for my new job at Bonanzle was to clean up the account registration page. After removing text, a few fields, and reordering the inputs we ended up with the form you see above. I’m really happy with the results as it cuts down on unnecessary verbiage and allows the user to fill in the form and be done with it.
jQuery inline validations plugin: This jQuery plugin was a breeze to use and it even let me easily setup my own validations and error messages using custom regular expressions.
TechFlash BBQ and Foosball Tournament! On July 28th TechFlash is hosting a Summer BBQ + a Ping Pong and Foosball Tournament. I can’t remember the last time I played in a Foosball tournament so I’m excited to say the least. Now its time to find a bar with a foosball table around here so I can practice. Oh ya, and a good partner would be nice too :)
Hello… how bout that ride in? I guess thats why they call it Sin City haha. You guys might not know this but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack, it grew by one. So there… there was two of us in the wolf pack. I was alone first in the pack and Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys I thought “wait a second, could it be?” And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine.
