Site Updates: updating JavaScript libraries

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012 at 12:38 am

This isn’t huge news…but I updated that JavaScript libraries on both worldofwarren.com and warrenshea.com.
They’re now using the current, up-to-date
jQuery 1.7.2
jQuery UI 1.8.19
jQuery prettyPhoto v3.1.4

up from
jQuery 1.7.1
jQuery UI 1.8.13
jQuery prettyPhoto v2.5.6

It took some doings to get prettyPhoto to work…I was dumb when I put in 2.5.6 and changed the library code to suit my needs so it took a little longer to add than it should have.

I also removed jQuery Accordion, I didn’t need it anymore after I worked my resume.

I’ve also been updating warrenshea.com. I think the portfolio’s section is good at 30 items. Now to write content for those 30 sections and do my timeline experience.

warrenshea.com’s Portfolio – it better be worth it

Monday, February 27th, 2012 at 2:17 am

…I know it’s not.

The point of the portfolio is to show potential employers my work. But there’s a lot about my portfolio site about me already. How much work do they need to see? Do they need to see any?

I spent hours this weekend rummaging all my old work files. 5 years of work files…figuring out what I can put up, what I can’t…looking back at old, bad code…I dunno.

I just wanna have my site done. But I don’t want to have it incomplete. And right now, I’m just trying to complete it. It just happens to be taking FOREVER.

Anyways.

Just a side rant…as I play Tiny Tower.

I just want warrenshea.com to be done already :( I want to move on to my next project. Like. Now.

Site updates – Migration of professional items to warrenshea.com

Monday, January 30th, 2012 at 11:53 am

Some minor site updates.

I removed the Portfolio from my navigation
And linked Resume to warrenshea.com (still not up yet).

I’ve migrated everything from my worldofwarren.com Portfolio section to my warrenshea.com Portfolio section so there’s not much point in keeping it…I just can’t wait to finish.

warrenshea.com is almost complete. I have about 30 items to put in and I’ve put in like, 23ish….but I still have to go through my [Redacted] work and scour what I can put in, so the list might increase.

Once that’s done, some more writing, and i’m DONE.

I’m really struggling with my professional voice on this website…I want to feel professional, but also fun and playful…like IRL.

Anyways, productive weekend (tho not as productive as I would have liked). I hope the rest of the week is productive

4 Web Projects now? SAY WAH?!?T?!!

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012 at 2:20 am

I’ve been motivated again. Sorta. Another web developer around me has drive. Now, usually I’m highly motivated by competitiveness. I can already feel that it’s not as true this time….the gap in skill is too great (that’s not meant to be offensive). However, the person’s drive as well as taking action on improving has inspired me to do the same.

I think 1 or 2 months ago, I was still struggling with warrenshea.com. I had my secret project, the one related to a specific toy line, on hold because though I wanted to do it, I wanted to finish warrenshea.com first.

But sometime since then, I’ve become motivated again and have two more sites I wanna do. Unfortunately, they’re both secret for now.

So I have 4 projects
warrenshea.com – TO FINISH
[toy company][toyline].com – TO START
[project anime] – TO START
[project internet meme] – TO START (just came up with this today)

Timeline wise,
warrenshea.com – 1 month MAX
[toy company][toyline].com – 2 months
[project internet meme] – 2 months
[project anime] – 8 months

I think I’ll do things in this order. Maybe swap [toy company][toyline].com and [project internet meme].

Anyways, I’m motivated for the first time in a long while. NO MOAR GOING OUT. MUST DEV. RAWR.

Zelda + warrenshea.com + randomness

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012 at 12:13 am

These are the two things I want to finish ASAP. I finally got a good jQuery plugin for my portfolio section. It’s called Isotope and it’s much better than Quicksand

Unfortunately, I wanted to finish warrenshea.com by Jan 12 or 14 or something like that. I realized today that I would need to finish it by the 11th…which is simply too soon. Also, I fell asleep at 7pm…randomly, on the couch. Woke up at 9pm. I’m not gonna make it. I decided to finish it, but not to rush. Stupid me, I sat on it for months and when I needed it, can’t finish it in time. Procrastination is a bad bad thing!

While I’m still playing Zelda, warrenshea.com took over as a priority…like I said, I’m a developer first, gamer second…but only if there’s motivation :)

I’m going to spend the rest of the night on warrenshea.com…but because I’m trying to sleep early, that’s not going to be much work. Anyways, I guess I’ll get started ;)

Also, I want to start doing tutorials on my site. There are 2 I have queued right now. It’s just a matter of getting around to them. Too lazy tonight…

Also also, I watched the first episode of The New Prince of Tennis. I don’t like some of the new voices for some of the characters >:( And also, where and when can I watch Gundam Seed HD Remastered? I haven’t watched that in a long long time but I’d definitely like to watch an HD, remastered version of it :)

Oh, finally: I got all the achievements for Plants VS Zombies on my iPhone. Score!

Oh one more thing: I decided not to get a fancy Point-and-Shoot camera because even a good one won’t be able to do the shots I want. I’m starting to think: DSLR. Going to start doing research.

Oh yeah and Z and I decided to buy a new car. We promised to each do 1.5 hours of research by Saturday…high level research on what we can afford/like/bring to the table as options. We’ll probably just got with a Honda Civic or something ;)

Oh and I removed the Blogger theme option from my site. It doesn’t really belong. Now that I have other decent readable themes, that one is kind of useless…and dated.

Okay, off to do work now…
