I must admit that this week has gone by rather quickly. I finished a couple of small projects at work (including the all-important A&D – listing my accomplishments for the year), but spent most of my time there playing around with other tools/ideas that I want to make use of going forward. CSS and JQuery are going to be high on my list in 2012, and I’ve started messing around with a website framework that makes good use of both of those things.
Since the current webmaster of nabba.org (the brass band association’s official website) apparently has nothing to say about the new site that I built last month – I’m supposed to be taking over for him, but he’s not making it easy – I went ahead and uploaded the framework that I’m going to start playing with next to the “fake” nabba site. You can view it at nabba.us. As it stands now, it has nothing whatsoever to do with NABBA – it’s just a basic design that I pulled from a tutorial – but I’ll be playing around with it over the weekend. I think I’m also going to try to use it as a framework for my online library for the brass band (which already uses a lot of jQuery), and I may just go ahead and try to rewrite the whole brass band website into it. I haven’t really decided yet. Still very much in the experimental stages.
Not in the experimental stages, but very much in the writer’s block stage, is the Frowsy Noise blog. I can’t think of a thing to write about. I’ll try tomorrow. Hoping to do some picture taking tomorrow, too.
Played carols at the mall with 6 other guys this evening. We sounded pretty good and raised a bit of money for the Salvation Army. I’m supposedly doing it again next Friday, but I don’t know if anybody else is planning to help out.
I started playing around with a new camera app on my phone today called “Instagram.” It’s pretty cool and has some decent effects:
