I started coding back in 2004 with my first C++ course at University. I haven’t stopped since. For work I’m mostly using C#, SQL, HTML, CSS3, and JQuery. For fun I switch back to vanilla JS and try out zany ideas. Like, how far can you push just HTML and CSS for a social media like experience and not require JavaScript (see Lillihub). Right now I’m working on my blog/game hybrid idea. Who knows what I’ll be trying to do next week ðĪŠ

This month has been rough. It started with an unusual diagnosis for my daughters injured knee, the stress of the holidays, and my mother-in-law going from a routine procedure to a transfer to a larger city hospital to a surgery that ended precariously with complications. She’s still with us âĶ

I’m working on some Lillihub tweaks ðĐâðŧ. I wanted to add a marker at the end of all the new posts since that last time Lillihub was viewed, but I’m having trouble with the wording. Any suggestions? “Already seen posts” seems a bit wordy and off…

This was a major work week. I’m trying to wrap up a couple more features and get in a few more bug fixes before I wrap up for the holidays.
At work, I am doing a major rewrite of our application(s). This marks heading into year 3 of the project. I needed to redesign the UI and workflows. I âĶ

Guess I’ll join in the Duel of the Defaults ð I’ve held off since it seemed that most people were iOS users and I’m a Windows/Linux gal. But so many others have joined in and the list was fun to put together.

There are several places in my blog that I wanted to group things by year. Photos being the âĶ

Whew... These last couple of months have been rough. This update is pretty short. I hosted Thanksgiving at my house this year so I wrapped up most dev related items by Wednesday.

Remember how I said, everything back to normal? That lasted all of Monday morning. Then I got the call from school that my daughter hurt her knee... getting a pencil. We are still running around trying to figure it out (Whew, thankfully it's not Lyme disease). Then my son messed up his âĶ
