David Granado — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:49:53 +0000

Getting jQuery 1.7+ and/or Backbone to Play Nicely with RequireJS

David Granado — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:38:55 +0000

If, like myself, you're new to RequireJS and you're trying to use it to roll your Backbone projects, you may be running into a few issues. Alas, it's not quite plug n' play (yet!). There are a variety of places to find solutions to this problem. The only catch is that the libraries are in a bit of a state of flux. But for now, the fix is very easy No related posts.

NakedTransition is a simple transition jQuery plugin for creating fancy transitions between images. Why is it called "Naked Transitions"?

Serve a Static HTML File with NodeJS

David Granado — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 23:30:39 +0000

So, I posed a question onto StackOverflow today and got some really good advice. My question was this: how do I server a simple static HTML file from Node.js. I’m not a fan of doing this: response.write("...<p>blahblahblah</p>..."); From most, the answer was “use Express.js“. That’s good advice if you just want to get the job No related posts.

“Make a Set” Game

David Granado — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 06:01:51 +0000

So I was with my wife's family over Thanksgiving this year gorging on enough meat a starches to tranquilize a small yak. After said gorging, my wife pulled out a game that I had never before played. It was called Set. And, man, was it fun. But, man, did I suck at it. Anywho, after playing the game, I thought about the rules and though "Dude, that would be an easy thing to make." So, I sloppily spend a few hours hacking this nasty bad boy together. After all, I am too cheap to go an just but it No related posts.

Original Canvas Game Demo…Sorta…

David Granado — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 07:26:45 +0000

So, I've been having quite a bit of fun with javascript and canvas as of late. And one of the best (read "fun") ways to learn anything with graphics is to make games. As of yet, I've remade Snake and Worm, and now I'm working on an original. Buuuuut given the fact that times are busy right now, and I'm figuring that it will be sometime by the turn of the century. For now, I'll just post my incremental progress as I find free time to work on such things. "Play" it here!Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

David Granado — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 00:12:04 +0000

Maverick Meerkat is here, and thus far, seems great. However, one issue came up that initially caused a great deal of confusion that later transitioned into a large headache. That issue was that my current favorite editor for coding, Geany, was having issues saving remote files. No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.
