We finally finished and shipped our project yesterday. Woo! I woke up this morning with a major migraine so I called in sick and couldn"t move for several hours with out massive forking pain. All the while thinking about Arnold in Kindergarten Cop saying "It is NOT a TUUMER".
I was sitting whilst thinking today about how rarely fortunate I am to have a new task at work that funding should hopefully remain stable for at least a year from this fall. Knock on wood. I should take this chance to save up some money and try to be a responsible forking adult. I know Master Yoda says, "Do or do not. There is no try". So I was thinking about what technologies I should learn and add to my skill set. So I though I would knock out a list.
- PHP
- XML
- XLST to Transform the XML
- All XHTML ALL THE TIME!
- 100% CSS Design
- Web Design for PDAs
- Icon design
- Make some WinAmp 3 Skins
- Make a Mozilla Skin
- Make a model for Half Life or UT or Something
- Dreamweaver MX
- Flash MX XML applications
- And Some Maya.
Also there were free Slurpies today at 7-11 because of the date. 7/11 get it?
Ha.
Tomorrow I should review the Slurp and Gulp combo. It is huge cost 2 bucks and
looks like a bong. Vanilla Coke Slurpies are tasty BTW.
XSLT is beautiful freaky stuff. this book: http://www.wrox.com/ACON11.asp?WROXEMPTOKEN=988555Zp4e6Hyeb3EpBhmnohom&ISBN=1861005067 has been rocking my world.
Cool I have been reading the chapter on XSLT in my Wrox XHTML book. It would help if I could spell it correctly ;)

I always end up making a stupid joke about BLTs when I talk about it. :)
From what I have been reading mentaly shifting from MovableType Templates to XSLT should be simple. MT is XML based and the content is seperate from the design. so Bam!
Who is your daddy and what does he do? I'm a cop you idiot! I'm detective John Kimble! STOP IT!!!!!
