Getting 2 cavities filled was definitely not the way to start my morning...OUCH! :-( 10 hours later it still hurts. I probably would have been better off if he'd just pulled the thing. I don't look forward to the dental visit with Gaetano. He needs caps on several teeth (a result of bad grinding in his sleep). I hope he doesn't cry as much as I did today. Seriously, labor hurt less than this...

The problem with adding new features is that it almost always introduces new bugs! Sure enough several bugs were found in the new features, and I believe I've squished them all now. Assuming beta testers confirm I've fixed all their findings, and don't discover anything new, it won't be too long before Color Assistant is released. The more I use the extension, the more I like it... and several of...

So far beta feedback has been very helpful, which means enhancements need to be made. I can take it though. :-) I've already fixed 3 bugs, 2 typos, and added 1 new feature. If I can add one more feature this release, I'll do it, otherwise I'll work on it for a dot release because it is a cool idea. Since you've been so patient, I'll tell you that the name of the product is Color Assistant. It is...

I'm very excited about this little extension I must say. I've added all the features into this release. I'm just writing the help file that explains how the preferences work, then I'll package it up again and send it off to beta testers for checking. Writing this extension has taught me quite a bit and will help me finish the next extension, CSS Assistant. I'm looking forward to beta feedback on...

I forgot to mention earlier... would you believe that yet another feature has creeped into this release? Yep, another. The latest 2 features are some user preferences. I've coded the preferences menu already and have the checkmarks toggling as they should. Now it is just a matter of adding those features to the output code. Should be pretty simple to do that part. I have it mapped out in my brain...

If you have a 2 year old, an old PC that you let him/her use, and you're missing a credit card, check inside the Floppy drive. :-)

Feature creep has struck again. The extension is totally done and ready to go and working well, and then I go and think of a new feature. I think this would really add to the usefulness of this extension so I'm going to try hard to get it into this release. If not, it will be a dot release soon as I sort it all out. Here's another hint for those of you dying to know what this is all about......

I've added some validation routines to the extension now to prevent bad input from a user. (Thanks to Danilo for help with the Regular Expression - got me going in the right direction.) A clue for those of you still wondering what this is all about. Here's part of the regular expression #[1-9A-F]{6}. We're getting closer to a final product now. I can't wait!

Woo hoo!!! I've got a prototype working now of the fix/enhancement request that my beta testers asked for. So when I get back from Halloween festivites, I'll fix that right up and ship it off to beta again :-)

Beta feedback on my new toolbar extension has been great. We've caught quite a few bugs and I've squished all of them. I have one more adjustment to make...make the selection replaced with the input rather than putting the data before the selection. Early on I tried this, but it wiped out the entire CSS file, which is why I opted for inserting before the selection. I've found out about some other...
