On this Thanksgiving Day, I'd like to share some of my thankfullness here because I know it will reach the right people (some of whom I have no other way to contact). I really do count my blessings often (should be every day, but it is only just often , lol). My biggest blessing I'm thankful for is Gaetano, but I'm sure you knew that. I love my littly guy! Of course I'm thankful for my wonderful...

Looking out my office window I notice an elderly lady across the street sitting in a chair slouched over quite a bit. She's turned to the side so all I see is her profile, an her haid hangs in front of her face so I cannot see if she is awake or not. I didn't really acknowledge these details until five minutes later when I realized she hadn't moved. Still a couple more minutes without movement. I...

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. I've been running back and forth from my office to my son for months now. Every couple of minutes I'm up to check on him. Even in a matter of seconds he'll get himself in trouble though and I certainly can't be in the room with him always. Like once, I went to the bathroom and when I came out he'd gotten the powdered Strawberry Nesquik and poured it...

Well today didn't turn out nearly as bad as I thought. :-) Had some difficulties getting my dentist appointments on time, but in the end I finally got there alright and had the work done. I'm feeling much better than before too. Good news, I think I have solved the bug that was holding up production of JavaScript Assistant and CSS Assistant. If my solution continues to work as I re-introduce the...

Today's going to be one of those days; I can just tell. I woke up this morning later than I expected to (always a bad way to start the day) and needed to change my dentist apointment to have my stitches removed. As I was dialing it started to ring before I was finished. Startled that it rang, I promptyly hung up before the second ring. I then wondered what I'd dialed so I pressed redial to look...

Have you ever had one of those days where you get in the shower, realize you forgot to grab a towel just as you've filled your hands with shower gel? Startled by not having a towel, instead of washing yourself, you decide to wash you hair, and then realize you've used shower gel to wash your hair instead of shampoo? After the trauma of getting out of the shower and grabbing the nearest towel...

I'm still swollen... but easing off the medication slowly. I am so behind in all my personal projects that I won't even try to catch up. I'm just going to pretend everything is on schedule and move forward from here. Nice that I work for myself and can do that I suppose, but I'd much rather be caught up for real. Oh well...

The doctor said that the swelling is the worst on the third day. I didn't believe it, but now I do. I feel like I look like the Godfather..

I'm home now... I'm numb, bleeding lots, and have the hiccups. I'm not sure but I think they knocked me out becasue I don't remember anything. The nurse said my gums under the lower right wisdom tooth were indeed infected which was causing my pain. She said despite the drugs I yelped when they pulled it. I think they gave me more drugs at that point cuz I don't remember. I hate that... Hopefully...

In about 3 1/2 hours I'll be getting 3 wisdom teeth pulled. I admit I am nervous about it. I've been in agony with this tooth ache for a week now and it has only gotten progressively worse. As painful as this is, I can' help but be afraid that the extration and recovery will be even more painful. Not even Vicodin is helping now, so I can't imagine feeling better any time soon. Wish me luck... I'm...

The past 2 days have been very frustrating when it comes to coding my latest 2 extensions. I'm basically battling a bug in Dreamweaver and it is one I'm clueless how to squish at this point. Basically both of my new extensions involve the ability to wrap the user's selection with some code. That all works fine and dandy. The problems start when the user changes their mind and does and Undo. If...

I should learn to not get over anxious and think certain things are simple. :-) It turns out there are some nasty little bugs that need squishing in JavaScript Assistant. I'll work with it while coding CSS Assistant too, and not rush releasing it until bugs are properly squished. Just wishful thinking on my part that this would be easy... and yes, I've added features -- only because I'm lazy and...

This morning I was chatting with Laurie and decided that I didn't feel like working on CSS Assistant, because I was lazy writing all that same JavaScript over and over again. So I decided I'll make a JavaScript Assistant as a freebie, since it was so easy to write that in 20 minutes I was done. Well, excpept for the icons (that's always the tough part). Besides, I could have made them all...

I was doing so well on my diet and then Halloween came... I've gained 6lbs. since then. So before I go back on the diet to lose the weight I gained becuase I ate way too much candy this past week, I sent hubby on a run to Cinnabon for their new fruit Cinnabons. I forget what they're called since I've never tried one. If I recall correctly, they have apple and peach. Dan's confirmed they have...

Have you ever had a dream so real that when you wake up it totally upsets you that it wasn't real? I got to stop having dreams like that... This time my Godmother was still alive, and her death was faked for her safety's sake. Now 8 years later, she was able to reveal she is alive and well and always knew what I was up to and hated she couldn't really be there. :-(

My tooth still hurts... If this keeps up I think I'll go back and have it pulled. It is my lower right wisdom tooth. I hope if it gets yanked I don't lose any wisdom along with the tooth though! ;-)

I forgot to mention it... shame on me! That adorable little hand in the ad for Color Assistant belongs to none other than my adorable little Gaetano :-)

I always announce here first, as promised :-). The Color Assistant is now officially launched, and available for just $10 at the DWfaq Store . I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have!

As always, I show it to you here first :-). Here's the Color Assistant Flash Demo for the DWfaq Store. I'll post the link to the store soon as it is ready for sale, which should be in about an hour or so. Thanks to all my beta testers for your help, you're the greatest!

Just some final touches to do on the demo movie left now... except first, I have to go to sleep.

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!
