jQuery AJAX Plugin Posted

Posted by Andrew, 8 months and 3 weeks ago.

I started playing around with jQuery last week and, rather quickly, found out how powerful this framework really is. So I was inspired to write my own custom AJAX plugin for the framework to handle my AJAX calls with extremely easy implementation. After finishing the plugin, I also realized that it was time to organized the Resources layout as well.

No longer will you have to look at one extremely long post to figure out what is what. I have implemented some jQuery functionality into these pages to organize each post into tabbed sections. So finding what you want will be a matter of just looking at the tabs and clicking the right one.

So how about you go download my new fancy plugin now? :D

Edit: WD Category Listing has been updated to v1.0.1. Please read release notes to view the changes.

Google Chrome is Iran!?

Posted by Andrew, 8 months and 4 weeks ago.

I was just sitting in a deviantART chat room this morning when we started discussing browsers. Out of the blue cjgraphix chimed in with the following:

<cjgraphix> officially the w3c sets ’standards’ but nobody has to follow them at all.
<cjgraphix> which is what originally caused the browser wars of the 90’s…
<cjgraphix> chrome is like the damn Iran of browsers right now…. if they get nuclear weapons everyone in the region is fucked.
<philo23> lol
<philo23> i think of IE as more of an Iran than Chrome
<One3Creations> :lmao:
<Skyrail> :slow: I’m not going to comment on that
<philo23> :P
<cjgraphix> no, IE is Isreal…

I about fell out of my chair laughing so I figured I’d post this here in the humor section for everyone to read :D
