code overload

Having a PDA is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it helps you use your time more efficiently and you are able to get more work done. On the other hand, it helps you use your time more efficiently and you are able to get less play done.

That said, I've been using my Christmas present to plot out many of my activities over the next month. And I've got a lot of ideas for jenseng.com, so prepare to see lots of changes in the coming weeks. Here's a brief overview of what to expect:

  • Look and feel:
    • Consistent, aesthetically pleasing redesign for jenseng.com and code.jenseng.com. This should be complete by the first of February
  • Coding articles:
    • 2004-01-11: PHP parsers and utilties for manipulating CSS and XHTML documents
    • 2004-01-11: Dynamically create columns with JavaScript
    • 2004-01-18: Outsmarting the Internet Explorer SELECT control
    • 2004-01-25: Creating a cross-browser collapsable tree menu
    • 2004-01-25: Creating a cross-browser dropdown menu
    • 2004-02-01: jenDB - PHP and SQLite revisited
    • 2004-02-08: Building a role-based management system with PHP and MySQL

So there you have it. All in all, the articles should just about triple the amount of content on the site. The code is already done for most of the articles—now it's just a matter of doing the write-ups. Of course, whether or not I'm able to maintain that timetable remains to be seen...
