I’ve actually gotten to the point where most other casual designer/developer/writers just sort of “poop out” of the blogging world, only updating if they’re asked to, or if they feel guilty enough. Right now, I’m posting because a little of both. First things first: A few individuals wanted to see the PHP source for the Hot Hot Date Shopping Cart. I have now posted just the source. Keep in mind I still haven’t quite finished the entire shopping workflow; once that is finished, I’ll bundle source, style, and other information into a tidy package. But not until I finish. Until then, check out script.aculo.us for a great number of fantastic implementations of the prototype.js and other related libraries.
Second order of bidness: What the hell has Denise been doing all summer? Okay, only the people that care about me ask this question, including my poor mother whom I should call as soon as I finish this post. Here’s a snapshot of what keeps me away from my blog:
- Clients, clients, clients. Mettler Toledo, b.glam baby, Greyhound Adoption of Ohio, and most demanding of all is BMW Financial Services. I do have two upcoming projects for a top secret new company, detail of which I will share when we go live.
- Running. And more Running. We’re trying to recover from the many very very very hot days of not running over the past few weeks. This weekend saw 5 miles of hilly and rocky terrain at Highbanks Metro Park.
- My new furbaby Ronin. My first dog since I left home 7 years ago (11 if you count the years away at college). My husband’s first dog ever. A retired racing greyhound makes a wonderfully affectionate and somewhat lazy pet — contrary to popular belief, they’re not super energetic all the time. Our boy is a little more energetic and is showing more puppy-like behavior every day as he is only 2 1/2. He is quite the attraction of the neighborhood, as not many people are familiar with the greyhound as a pet. He loves his raccoon, and he loves meeting people. And he loves to nap.
