The result of my last 3-4 months of work is finally live. Earlier tonight, we launched the new onOne Software site.

Here’s a preview:

While I love the entire site compared to the old one, I think my favorite part can be found on the support pages:

Redesigned onOne Software blog launch

May 13th, 2009  |  12:08 am

One of the projects I’ve been busy with at work is building a new theme for the company blog. I’m happy to announce that we officially launched the new theme late Monday afternoon. Here’s a preview:

Go check it out and let me know what you think.

P.S. – I didn’t design the theme, our art director did—I did the code.

Just in time for Valentine's Day

February 13th, 2009  |  7:23 pm

Since Tiff and I really don’t ever do holidays, I decided this year I’d write an iPhone app (well, a webapp) for her. So, last night, I did. When it was finished I realized that, with some tweaks, it might be useful for other folks out there with iPhones or iPod touches that want to give their significant others a geeky Valentine’s Day gift.

IMPORTANT: If you don’t have an iPhone or an iPod touch, don’t bother. It won’t work. The code relies on some CSS stuff only found in Mobile Safari (and possibly some WebKit nightlies) and won’t work in normal desktop browser. Again, it WILL NOT WORK IN A REGULAR BROWSER.

To customize the app for your Valentine, visit either one of the links below using your iPhone or iPod touch. Both go to exactly the same place, but the 2nd will likely be faster and easier to type on your iPhone/iPod touch.

Once you fill in the form and click submit, you can add it to your (or your S.O.’s) home screen or have it email the link to it to them. Just click the plus sign at the bottom of the Mobile Safari window.

Please let me know if you run into any problems or have any questions.

Enjoy!

Time-based CSS style switcher in PHP

January 16th, 2009  |  6:10 pm

As I was minding my own business late yesterday afternoon, I saw this tweet from @Mettadore pop up in Twitterrific.

I thought it was an interesting idea and figured the code to accomplish it would be pretty simple, so I cracked open my editor and started coding. Five minutes later, I had a working demo and promised I’d write a blog post with some sample code, so here it is.

The PHP:

Dynamic tabbed interface with YUI

October 29th, 2008  |  11:12 am

A week or two ago I decided that my sidebar was getting a little long, so I was trying to figure out a way to keep the same content, but compress things a bit. In the end, I decided to go with a tabbed interface for the list of local blogs I read and the category listing. You can see an example of what I came up with over in the sidebar near the bottom.

After doing some research, I decided to use YUI for the implementation. Why? Why not :-) Here’s what I came up with…
