fun with web technologies
as you've probably noticed if you're reading this site traditionally (not thru RSS), i've been mucking about with the css, or as some might say, doing a bit of jiggery-pokery. i'm still not 100% thrilled, and i'm actually considering re-implementing an older design, but with my skills in css rather than the tables i used before.
another thing i realized this week is that i knew diddly about AJAX before Thursday's conference. I knew it was useful, and that I'd probably better see what all the fuss is about. That being said, I like it a lot. However, I have some serious concerns about using it in an environment such as where I work, where accessibility takes a higher priority over ease of use. there are some really good articles out there, and what I've found is basically telling me i should stay away, aside from home use. (we have some serious mandates regarding accessibility, and even our intranet is being redesigned to be more accessible, to meet future, more strict requirements.)
found this week's chili recipe... i think. sometimes i just want MY chili, and screw trying new stuff. but, all in the name of trying new things... i'm gonna go for it. i'm also gonna try making a couple different appetizers, too, just to see what they taste like.
i bought some store brand monterey jack queso dip today -- it's ALMOST "el V" but not quite. maybe if i bought a real brand (but hey, $1 for a 16oz jar?)
more soon.
