Extension excitement

I'm very excited about this little extension I must say. I've added all the features into this release. I'm just writing the help file that explains how the preferences work, then I'll package it up again and send it off to beta testers for checking. Writing this extension has taught me quite a bit and will help me finish the next extension, CSS Assistant. I'm looking forward to beta feedback on this version, since it incorporates some things that they requested. I'll keep you posted!

Feature creep

I forgot to mention earlier... would you believe that yet another feature has creeped into this release? Yep, another. The latest 2 features are some user preferences. I've coded the preferences menu already and have the checkmarks toggling as they should. Now it is just a matter of adding those features to the output code. Should be pretty simple to do that part. I have it mapped out in my brain already. These past 3 weeks have been really good for me from a JavaScript perspective. I've learned so much and ideas keep lighting off in my mind now. I knew eventually things would snap into place for me; it is definitely a great feeling.

Credit Cards...

If you have a 2 year old, an old PC that you let him/her use, and you're missing a credit card, check inside the Floppy drive. :-)

Slackers

Hmmm just noticed my buddies with blogs are slackin'... no new post in a few days. I suppose it may be because Danilo isn't around to harrass us about it ;-). Speaking of Danilo, he should be back already. Can't wait to see his Hawaii pics!

Features...

I've added one feature of the two fully and it is working great for me. As for the second feature, I'm not really sure it is worth my time. I still need to do some research to be sure though. I am now contemplating releasing it with the single extra feature only, but will get more beta feedback first on the second feature. So far feedback has indicated that the second feature, though cool, isn't that important. I'll ask a few more people to test and see what they think and go from there.

Development

I talked it over with the other developer, and he doesn't mind if I add features to my extension and sell it. He's decided to let his out for free and not develop it further since I am doing so. I've started adding one new feature already and have a story board for how the other should work. Now I just have to figure out how to code it all!

New newphew

Brandon Nicholas Parada was born at 6:57 PM today. He weighs 7 pounds 14 ounces and looks very much like his older brother did when he was born. Antonietta was given Pitocin at 11:30 AM to start her labor and her water was broken by the doctor at 2 PM. By 5:30 PM she was only dialated to 4cm so we thought we'd have a really long wait. She had pain medication via IV but refused epidural. When she hit about 6 1/2cm she decided to go for the epidural, but by the time the doctor came in to do it, she was already almost 9cm so it was too late. Her first child was born with about 3 pushes but this one didn't want to make it easy for her so he made her push about 10 times. She screamed quite a bit and feels like she's losing her voice, but is doing great now that the baby is out of her belly. No more pain and no incision. Big Brother Brian says that when they get home he's going to give his brother candy and play baseball with him. So cute! This makes the count 3 nephews and 1 niece. Hopefully somebody evens that up a bit...:-)

Labor progress

Well folks, she's at the hospital now and labor should be in progress. I'm off to wait in the hospital cafeteria until they let us see her. I'll give all the details when I get home later tonight. Bye!

Waiting for baby

1 out of 2 ain't bad. Angels won the World Series, but my sister-in-law didn't have the baby. Tomorrow they'll induce her labor, so I'll bring the laptop to the hospital and work while I wait. No internet conection though, but that's alright.

Same thing

Well there goes my idea! I asked a friend for input on possible causes for a global variable issue I was having. So I told him what my extension was and he had done the same thing already. He plans to release his next week along with others. So, sorry folks this one isn't getting released publicly. I'll think of something else though. I already have a few ideas brewing...
