The KingdomPros.com project was a relatively small one, dealing mostly with installing third-party software and training. Our programming work consisted of two contact forms which allowed visitors to the site to email the KingdomPros team directly. The scripts were simple PHP email scripts using the mail() function. We also installed two third-party sets of software. […]
The Jackson Public Schools Career Preparation System site was a fairly short, simple project involving web design, development, and some graphic design. The graphic design was the easiest part. The only logo files that CPS had were old, discolored, pixilated JPEGs that simply were no longer suitable for use. We redrew the logos in Adobe […]
I write about the Trello API a lot. So much that I’ve already noted that I write about it a lot. I keep coming across new stuff, though, so I’m going to keep writing about it. My latest experiment was a look into using their batch call, which I don’t see a lot of documentation about […]
I’ve written pretty extensively on my work with the Trello API and yesterday I got to present the code side of it at TechSmith’s internal development conference, ReCon. Last year I presented for the first time (when the event was called DevCon) and I think I learned a lot from it that helped me this […]
I was going through my portfolio recently and realized that I have an entry for my Press Your Luck game but I’ve only described how it works, never taken a deep dive into the code. The current version (if you can call something no longer in use “current”) runs entirely on the client side. There […]
I’ve been writing a ton of late about the Trello API because I’ve basically been head-down in it for the last week. Today I discovered my new biggest annoyance with an otherwise awesome tool. Using the Trello UI, it’s really simple to move a card from one column/list to another on the same board. Click […]
Last week I published a bit of code that uses the Trello API to keep parent and child cards synced across a set of boards. It was a little piece of research that has absolutely taken off around the office so I’ve been expanding on it and demoing it and talking about it and generally […]
One of the things my team at work always seems to have a problem with is tracking our tasks and how they fit into the bigger picture of our team’s goals. We had these problems when we were using a bulletin board, we have these problems now that we’re using a single Trello board. We […]
I redesigned the header of this site earlier this week entirely because I was bored. I couldn’t focus on what I should have been writing and I decided a design project would help. What I came up with worked, though, so I went with it. The gradients in my previous header were dated when I […]
Six years after I doodled a 10th season logo for HockeyBird.com, I was contacted about doing another logo for the site. HockeyBird.com had undergone many changes in the six years since I last did a logo for them and were looking for “a still here after all these years kinda thing.” We had missed the […]
