To "===" or not to "=="
About 6 months ago, I came across an online tool called JSLint. It's a JavaScript program that looks for problems in JavaScript code. I began using it to check most of my scripts to see if I had any errors in them (I know, I know... you thought I was perfect). Well as it turns out, I had a lot of little mistakes, like using a function or object before it was defined or little formating issues. But one error I kept receiving made no sense to me and I honestly didn't understand why I was getting it.
Expected '===' and instead saw '=='.
Expected '!==' and instead saw '!='.
Granted, it wasn't like I didn't understand how to fix the issue, but JSLint wasn't very forthcoming on why I needed to make these changes. So, without fully understanding what was
going on, I began using "===" and "!==" whenever I needed to make a logical comparision. And I've been doing this for the past 6 months, without a clue as to "why".
Creative Juices Website Redesign, Act II
The past few months has been crazy. When I teased you a awhile back about relaunching the website, I didn't realize the amount of work I was about to undertake. Not with redesigning the site, but with my normal work load for my company. I've been working non-stop on client projects and I just didn't have time to tackle the giant task of redesigning and switching over the Create Juices website.
Well, I finally had a few spare hours and I decided to complete the task. So here it is, the new and improved (hopefully) Creative Juices website. The big difference is that I decided to switch the blog from Ray Camden's BlogCFC to the open source Mango Blog engine. So far I'm very impressed. I think this is going to allow me to post and organize projects a lot easier. Also, I love the fact that Mango allows me to create themes. This is going to allow me some freedom to stylize the site anyway I like.
We just wrapped up the re-design for the Blue Urban website. The main goal was to create a standards compliant design that allowed the folks at Blue Urban the ability to update just about every aspect of the site.
They can update slide shows, floor plans, new developments, text, pictures, themes, thumnails... the list goes on. All this while passing the W3C's HTML and CSS validators. Unfortunately the true magic happens behind the scenes, and unless you work for Blue Urban, you'll most likely never see it. It's one of the finest content management systems we've made to date.
Very nice indeed.
So anyway, jump on over to the Blue Urban site at www.blueurban.com and check it out. Let us know what you think.
Apparently we're getting old. Back when we went to college, the coolest shirt to have was a simple black t-shirt with the word "College" on the front of it. In retrospect Blutto was probably not the best role model.
Now days, colleges across the country are becoming fashion aware and the number one place to get your "fashion on" is GetSomeGreek.com. My how things have changed.
When you have a client that makes a bold statement like: "GetSomeGreek designs and sells only the most original, unique custom and retail Greek apparel and accessories..." , you have to be prepared to offer them the same. We think we did that.
So if your in college and want to be cool or if your out of college and still grasping onto the days of youth, check out www.getsomegreek.com and see what they have to offer.
Who would have thought that we would go all Hollywood on you. Frank Popper, went out a created this great documentary about a little guy named Jeff Smith who was running for political office in 2004. You'll laugh, you'll cry and be amazed by this heart wrenching story that won tons of awards and almost received an Oscar™ nomination. We would like to think that the slick movie poster and DVD graphics had a small part with that.
If you haven't seen this movie, then go out and see it!
