A ninja would’ve done it with less code…

but I’m still pretty pleased with my little “other” revealer here:

	function changeOption(object) {
		var obj_id = jQuery(object).attr('id');
		var obj_val = jQuery(object).val();
		jQuery(object).children('option').each(function() {
			var this_val = jQuery(this).val();
			var field = jQuery('#' + obj_id + '-' + this_val);
			if( this_val == obj_val) {
				jQuery(field).parent().show();
			} else {
				jQuery(field).parent().hide();
			}
		});
	}

Timeframe

Timeframe looks awesome! I can’t think of anything I need to use it for yet, but when I do… I don’t just read DF, but it does seem to be where most things I want to post come from… hrm…

We’re back

Near as I can tell with no ill-effects from the update to WP2.5. I like it when things work as advertised. Next goals for the site would be to make use of the new gallery features.

Update:

Or maybe I can just use the old gallery features with the Lightbox plugin?

Update 2:

I found out there’s a CSS change in WP2.5 that floats the next button below the Lightbox. The following change fixes it and has been sent to the author and added to the relevant support thread on the WordPress site.

Tweak line 45 of the lightbox.css file to read width: 45%
Here it is inline:
#prevLink, #nextLink{ width: 45%; height: 100%; background: transparent url(../images/blank.gif) no-repeat; /* Trick IE into showing hover */ display: block; }

Upgrading to WordPress 2.5

This all started by way of me updating this website and deciding to move my resume over from the ol’ DrewStevenson.com domain (soon to redirect here) and update it. All current turmoil at work aside, I have zero, zilch, nada intention of leaving the U. I like my job, I have a lot of opportunity to learn, grow and do cool stuff. That said if one of my role models in this business can keep an updated resume online, then I figure I can and perhaps should as well. While I was trying to figure out my fourish bullet points about my current job, I asked Amber for hers. She had to think a minute and then we went back and fourth about the coolest sounding bits of what she does (which is frankly a lot more than what you’ll see below).

In her current position she:

manages the national tours for 12 different traveling exhibits

oversees a multi-million dollar budget

designs and produces promotional and support documentation for new exhibits

actively participates in the design and production of new exhibits

What does the site look like today?

Well Billy, to answer your question it looks like the following screen shot right now in Safari. And it looks almost as good in Firefox–minus some rounded corner bugs in some views. I’m afraid to fire up ies4osx and see what it looks like in Internet Explorer.

So if you come back later to some complete redesign, the above is what you missed. I’m already considering some tweaks to the rounded corners using the spiffy technique.

Import-ant

I found out I could easily move my posts over from lj. Pictures seem to have been hit hard by the move, but they may have already been broken since lj wisely has its’ bagillion users store pictures off site. Until such time as it kills my bandwidth I may start doing the same. I probalby won’t use flock as my day-to-day web browser but I did find some killer features:

Weblog Editor
RSS Reader
Customize which bookmarks folder is used to create your toolbar (this will be so handy for help-line shifts. I can put one together for network/telecom and one together for general/internet helpline duty and be all set).

If I can still install my TWiki add-on I’m going to be seriously juiced. Well good night everybody!
