Anyone reading? I’m still alive. I’m still updating part of my site, although it’s only my journal and it’s all private.

ExpressionEngine 2 has been out for two weeks now, and I have yet to try it out. In fact I wasn’t really planning on trying EE 2 this soon if at all. I’m perfectly happy with my existing setup. But, I participated in the EE Heist and won a free upgrade. (I actually won something. It was a rare feeling.) I bought the EE Heist bundle because it had some useful modules/extensions that I could use with EE 1.6.x. Now that I have access to EE 2 though there’s no way I’m not going to use it!! I haven’t received my upgrade yet (still waiting for reply to email), but once I do I’ll be installing it and hopefully I can convert my LJ crosspost module to be compatible with EE 2. If I can do that, I’ll upgrade this site to EE 2 and maybe I’ll post more! In the meantime you can find me in public on Twitter if you want to read my meaningless and infrequent tweets.

I was congratulating myself for solving this comment spam problem (although it’s really EE’s security features and Loweblog’s Akismet module that should get all the credit) when I realized that in the last couple of months I had turned on the option to close comments after 30 days. So obviously I wouldn’t get any comment spam if no one can post comments! And I rarely make public posts these days.

The problem with that solution though was that the page would refresh once you submit something to edit. I figured that there must be a more elegant solution, one that updated the edited information without a page refresh. I decided to revisit this problem and rewrite the code using the jQuery javascript library and the jQuery form plugin. However, there is a lot more javascript involved. The jQuery file itself is 26kb (the packed version), the jQuery form plugin file is 6kb, and the custom code is 4kb, so the total amount of javascript I have to include on every page is 36kb. The original solution used only 8kb of javascript (although it did require me to edit the HTML to add the javascript call, whereas with jQuery I don’t have to). Oh well. At least I got to learn how to use the jQuery library. And, since I am the only person who’s authorized to do any editing, I made it so the javascript files are only loaded when I’m logged in, so it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever to you the reader.

They’ve added a couple of new features, including more customization options and more content. I’m using it as my home page, same as I’ve done for years now, but there are a couple of things that bug me. In the old version, there was something called the “Message Center”, which I had on the top left corner of the page. It told me whether I had any new mail in my Yahoo account, and it was really quite handy. If I did have mail, then I could sign into the Yahoo mail. In the new version, it’s been replaced with something called the “Personal Assistant”. Except it’s not a replacement. This new Personal Assistant tells me if I have new mail only if I’m logged in. If I’m not, then it tells me to sign in. Which makes it useless! Then there’s the fact that this Personal Assistant seems to be stuck on the right side of the page. I can’t move it around like I can with all of the other items on the page. Lastly it sticks an advertisement into the middle of my links: Note: I wrote this post because I wanted to test out the screen-capture abilities of Skitch. And I felt like whining.
