June 10, 2013Responsive CSS technique for horizontal spacing
From Mark JP passed this one along. It's a technique I have not seen before. Pretty clever approach. http://www.barrelny.com/blog/text-align-justify-and-rwd/

February 5, 2013What do you do?
So I was answering the question "What do you do?" this morning, was amazed at the number of completely different things I do all at the same time throughout the day at work, so I thought I'd write it down. I am in the IT dept of a real estate company working on their websites. I was hired initially to just keep their ColdFusion website running while they transferred everything to a new language. Currently, the Intranet and a couple of public sites run on ColdFusion with FuseBox as the framework and SQL as the database. I also now work on the new Agent sites which are Wordpress / PHP / MySQL, and I am also now working on their new public site which is Ruby on Rails / Postgre. I work on a MAC to dev the "new" sites, and run a Windows VM for dev for ColdFusion as my personal copy of Dreamweaver is only good for PC. And my Note-taking software of choice is OneNote and it doesn't have a MAC version. I run dual monitors with the VM PC in one and the MAC in the other. I use a PC-based external keyboard, so going back and forth between CTRL-C and [windows-key]-V (depending which window I am in) is a lot of fun. To edit the code on the MAC I use RubyMine for Ruby stuff and Sublime Text for the Wordpress/PHP stuff. The New sites are managed with GitHub, while ColdFusion is managed through SVN. If I need to look something up in the production database or modify something in the DEV or QA database, I use SQL Server Management Studio Express for the ColdFusion sites, Sequel Pro for the Wordpress sites and pgAdmin3 for the Ruby sites. And every so often I have all of the above software packages open all at the same time. Not to mention Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, Outlook, Skype, and some other random stuff all the while listening to Pandora through my headphones.
