Last week I attended a presentation about Web 2.0 that described the recurring concepts behind the buzzword and looked at how (as well as if and when) those can be applied to enterprise systems and organizations. One of the points of the presentation...
This post is as much for my sanity, to clear my mind, as it is for sharing my thoughts. I have a couple of after hours projects going on right now and a couple that I would like to start. I have been working on a few things for the Community Server Theming...
Following is a list of all the posts of the WhatIWantMost series. I'm listing them all here mostly for my own selfish purposes, but feel free to bookmark this post yourself. Creating the WhatIWantMost web site from scratch: Introduction WhatIWantMost...
At the end of my last WhatIWantMost post (about 3-1/2 months ago) I wrote that the site was getting close to being good enough and that I had hoped to roll it out soon. Over the following month I asked some friends and colleagues to review the site and...
One things that bloggers love more than anything else is flair. They love to show off their Flickr pictures, which MyBlogLog visitors have visited the site recently, links to events they plan to attend, links to services or applications they use/approve...
Up to this point in the development of the WhatIWantMost project I have chosen to implement the simplest solution possible to complete each task (or at least that I could think of) and that will not end today. That approach is of course a bastardization...
A couple of nights ago I added the new logo to the site. The logo looked so good it made the rest of the site look terrible. I had to spend the last two nights bringing everything else up to snuff. Here is a screenshot that I took of my previous design...
There comes in a time in a pet project's life when it's time to decide whether to cut bait or keep trolling. If the decision is to keep on keepin' on then that project needs to find some Source Control love and find its way into the Continuous Build process...
I put together my own take on a Web 2.0 logo using the Web 2.0 Webdesign Tutorials on the Dr. Web Weblog. Of course part of doing the exercise is to poke humor at Web 2.0 design, but I also think that I might have come up with a clever little logo, too...
Because of personal and family bouts with the flu I have not done anything new this week on the WhatIWantMost project. I hope to correct that this weekend. In the meantime I have some leftovers from last week that I have not had a chance to talk about...
Proper use of AJAX can be good for a web application when it helps reduce clutter by doing away with unnecessary postbacks and allowing the user to avoid the scenic route of visiting several other pages only to return to the page he/she was already on...
Rather than focus on fixing the AJAX things that are still broken because of the RTM release tonight, I chose to jump even further into the abyss by adding even more AJAX-based controls to the page. This time it is a search results box that pops up and...
A few days ago I noticed that something was amiss with the My Wishlist page of the WhatIWantMost.com site. At the time I was working on something else so I ignored it and I returned this evening to take a closer look. I have these floating divs that are...
In my last post I started to run with an earlier idea that I had about extracting the logic for the various product search services I was using (Amazon, Yahoo, and Ebay) out of the UI and encapsulating them in a component that would treat them all the...
In my last post , a status update, I wrote that the next thing I wanted to add to the site was a list of the most popular items in wishlists and that I was planning on using the Amazon ID to count them. Again, building the domain layer functionality to...
