(Ihd Iht TooNahn)

(Ihd Ihn TooNahn)

(Ihs Tahd TooNahn)

(Ihs Nahk TooNahn)

(Ihv Nahs TooNahn)

(Ihv Naht TooNahn)

  • Converted my Unicode Decoder entirely to JavaScript for the sake of functionality.
  • Combined the instructions into the application itself.
  • Added the dual translation capabilities to my QWERTY to Dvorak Converter.

(Ihth Nahd TooNahn)

  • Updated my background animated gif so it doesn't take a century to load.
  • Made other minor css updates as a result.
  • Made a few minor out of date content changes sitewide.

(Ihth Nahm TooNahn)

  • Made it so that when you get a problem wrong, it adds makes you run through it a bunch more in Number Row Typing.

(Iht Ihth TooNahn)

(Ihn Ihn TooNahn)

  • Corrected out of date sitemaps.
  • Made serious progress on my secret project. So many nested for loops!!
  • Added the background animation.

(Naht Ihtham TooNah)

(Naht Ihnahl TooNah)

  • Added instructions to the Manual Cipher Decoder. Actually, this was last week some time.
  • Released Flash Cards into its alpha phase.
  • Fixed the broken image popup script in a few places.
  • Wrote some pages in my Burning Man 2010 Photo Journal and made the almost complete version visible.
  • The internet was out. Man, it makes a difference. I think I need to spend some time writing a Firefox addon to help with this.

(Nahn Ihnahv TooNah)

  • Decked out my Manual Cipher Decoder with some new functionality.
  • Removed the random unicode character button.
  • Implemented object oriented JavaScript for my second time!

(Nahm Ihv TooNah)

  • Created my Manual Cipher Decoder in order to decipher Ellen's code.
  • Went through all of my pages to make sure that the new background image hadn't messed anything up and made small correctons to some pages.

(Nahm Ihth TooNah)

  • Unveiled two new pendants after giving them away.
  • Created a background image.
  • Updated my incredibly out of date homepage image.
  • Removed the Modified date from the footer. It quit working after the site upgrade to a templating system. It looks as though there is no quick and easy way to replicate it. I'll put it back up if I can figure out how.

(Il Tahk TooNah)

  • Created a page to display some Pendants that I have created.
  • I read this great article about using jQuery vs MooTools. Definitely biased, but very informative! I installed MooTools and used a MooTools Litebox plugin for my pendants page.
  • Don't worry, I'll be done with my Burning Man PhotoJournal soon!!

(Id Nahf TooNah)

  • Converted the software portion of my site to Kohana.
  • This includes all of the redirects. Did this with an array rather than a switch statement this time. Much easier to read.
  • Updated the SiteMap accordingly.
  • Making progress on my secret new project. This one is different though. It's simple enough that the tough programming comes in right away. I need to figure out how to program two things. One of them I have seen applications do. I'd like to reinvent the wheel as an exercise and because I think I may be able to do a better job. The other I'm brainstorming pretty well. Wish me luck!!

(Id IhNahm TooNah)

  • Over the past few weeks, the entire website has been transformed.
    1. It has been converted to the PHP framework Kohana 3.
    2. Which means that it is now organized and unified using templates.
    3. The site now has SEO URLs. (Search Engine Optimized Uniform Resource Locators)
    4. The site now has good naming schemes for its URLs.
    5. The site has a cool redirect system that checks a list of old URLs of the important pages and images and sends a 301 redirect to the new one, all with PHP, no ModRewrite!
  • Today I am embarking upon a great project to create a web application that I feel the internet sorely lacks. I won't give it away, but I will say that it's going to end up in the Tutorials section. ¦D

(If Nahv TooNah)

(Iht IhNahv TooNah)

  • Finally figured out a way to make my Flip Qwerty and Flip Dvorak apps work the way I had originally intended!! It was much, much harder than what I thought it would be. Despite the fact that the entire app is a single text area, there are 150 lines of code controlling it. ¦D
  • Most of this code I copied from my Qwerty to Dvorak Translator which was first to act this way about a week ago.
  • Also, might as well take a look at the code. I am reading Clean Code, and MAN, it's changing the way that I write code.

(Iht IhNahv TooNah)

  • Created my Morse Code Translator!!
  • Also, I found something fun recently. Go to Google Images and type in "Gregg Shorthand" with quotes.
  • I found a way to do something that I thought was impossible to my Qwerty to Dvorak Translator. It is no longer necessary to type in a separate textarea. And it's more efficient. Also, check this out. Go to Google and type in "qwerty to dvorak translator".
  • Redirected some old directories to their new location.

(Nihv TooNah)

(Nahn Tahn Tool)

  • Learn Braille 1.0 is complete!! Wooo! Now I'm working on Beta.
  • Switched my Software pages completely over to http://software.bennettroesch.com/.
  • Updated my Site Map finally. It was SADLY out of shape. Not sure how I missed that one when I went through the whole site.
  • Agreed to take on three people's website projects. As of right now, I am the creator of the maCruzers' single paged site. I'm going to be the webmaster for ReverendPariah.com in the very near future. And I'm supposed to make a sign up form for the 24-hour dance-a-thon at Porter, but I'm still not sure of the URL or the FTP info.

(Nahn Tahn Tool)

  • My server updated its PHP to some ridiculous version and my PHP Unicode Decoder decode function quit working. I finally got around to fixing it. There were no good fixes. I finally ended up changing the JavaScript so that the text is escaped before it even goes to the server. I think that this is now the only way to make it work until PHP 6.0 comes out... LAME.

(Nahnih Nahl Tool)

  • I went through all (literally, all) text on my site, spell checked it, and updated content and bad HTML. It never ends!
  • Added a bunch of favorites to my favorites page.
  • Created an animated .gif for Quare Num.

(Nahnih Nahl Tool)

  • Finished snazzing my AppleScripts. It hit me yesterday that the Script Editor text area was just like an HTML <textarea>. Fixed the spacing issue in Safari and IE.
  • Added a custom 404 Not Found page.

(Nahnih Nahv Tool)

(Nahnih Nahtih Tool)

(Nahn Dih Tool)

(Nahn Kih Tool)

  • Rewrote my entire Resumé. I used createElement() and appendChild() for the first time!!

(Nahn Vih Tool)

  • I figured out why my hit counter was only working on about half of my pages. The pages that it wasn't working for already had onload events. Also MySQL doesn't like uncanceled apostrophes and threw errors. Yay, now my hit counter works on all my pages!! I'm getting about two hits per day! Kick @$$!

(Nahm Tall Tool)

(Nahm Tahb Tool)

I have been meaning to clean up my whole site for a LONG time. This is the first time that my site has a sitewide stylesheet. Ahhhhh, that's better. If I were to have paid someone for what I just did, it would have cost me $600.

  • Added to all pages except for applications:
    1. Doctype
    2. Charset
    3. Stylesheet
    4. Hit Counter
  • Applied the stylesheet to all of them and removed waaay deprecated HTML.
  • Changed miscellaneous.htm to StuffIHaveMade.htm.
  • Changed MyProjects.htm to Projects.htm

  • Added Hex Color Display to Tools
  • Made my header and title schemes consistent!!
  • Added Don't Cut School to Movies

(AykNeekOozhah)

  • Finally put my Unicode Decoder back up. Check it out!

(UhnkUnaakOozhay)

  • A lot of stuff happened last night!  I got the undousable urge to abandon my "Square Three Digits in your Head" tutorial and make my first tutorial program a tutorial that teaches you how to multiply a Three by One multiplication problem in your head.
  • It ended up weird with both a practice part and a tutorial part combined, so I split them up and made a Three by One Practice page as well.
  • Put a link to my tutorials page back up on the homepage.
  • Updated my sitemap accordingly.
  • Did the same thing with the practice portion of my three digit squaring practice and tutorial page.

(NuhkAykOozhay)

  • In my lego slideshow
    1. Fixed the arrow ASCII Windows bug.
    2. The slideshow now no longer starts up again after being paused if the picture or arrows are clicked.
    3. Rolling over the picture itself makes the cursor a hand.
  • Added permalinks to my movies and put more space above the "back" pic.

(UhnkOonihkOozhay)

  • Fixed a weird bug that I must have made when I altered my Game of 21 for the IE button bug.
  • Fixed some html character problems in my other things about me page.
  • Changed my JavaScript page into a Games page.  There is so much JavaScript strewn around my site that that folder didn't make much sense.

(AhkUhnahkOozhay)

(AykOonehkOozhay)

  • Most importantly, created a Game of 21 with JavaScript and had my first taste of CSS! And I LIKE IT! Very cool.
  • Moved all the practice games out of the Tutorials folder because they aren't tutorials, I don't know why I thought they were.
  • Updated links accordingly.
  • Thought about dumping Tools and Practice into Javascript, but decided my homepage was nicer populated.

(AykEekOozhay)

  • Made my Greek Alphabet chart in Stuff I Find Interesting perfect, perfect.  I found out about &greekletter; HTML symbols!  I should make a list of all of the HTML special characters.
  • Put quotes around Nigel Powers' quote as well.

(AykUhkOozhay)

Added my MATRIX INVERSE CALCULATOR!!  WAHOOOOO!!!!
Added a link to my tools page on my homepage.
Added Boating Experts to Misc.

(EekNaaKoozhay)
I corrected some typos and dead links. Thanks, BennoRo! I also found out today how to use JavaScript to automatically update the date and time that pages were modified! Awesome! I tend to forget to do it manually!

Today, (Oo Nay Oozhay) I found out that www.w3.com offers domain names for fifteen dollars per year! I figured I'd switch over soon. I'll have to check how much memory I'm allotted.

Oo Neh Oozhay: I went through all the Illustrator Art pages and linked back to the top of the picture instead of the top of the page. It was annoying having to scroll down each time. Problem solved!

On Oo Naa Oozhay I added the Greek Alphabet chart and national debt pic to the stuff I find interesting page.  Man... 9 trillion.

A day later I revised the Greek Alphabet chart because geocities didn't like the unicode.  It's a picture now.  I also revised and added the bit on shorthand to the efficiency page.

On Oo Uhn Oozhay I added some projects to my my projects page and crossed one thing off.

Click!!

The other day (Uh Eenuh Oozhay), I put up some of the artwork I made in Computer Art Graphics Class.  Voila!
