Lets get back at it!

January 21st, 2010

I have found some free time this weekend to sit down and clean up the blog as well as write up some new posts to keep it going! I have been slacking the past couple of months and have been really busy working at Commerce Generation in Burlington, VT. We recently finished up a large project with the websites going live. Along with that news, there are other coding tips and much more. Expect lots coming up.

Around in Europe

May 30th, 2009

Wanted to write a quick post while overseas. Just wanted to say that sorry for the delay in posts recently. I have been away in Europe the past couple of weeks. I started in England and then headed for the Greek islands. Its a blast here, a great way to end the year and start the summer. I have been taking a bunch of photos and will be sure to upload them to flickr and post up the link. Wish I brought my laptop with me to upload and see what I got for shots so far.

I will be back on the 4th and back to reality, catching up on the site work that I have in store for me, along with the many blog posts I have as drafts right now. I have been slacking on that. Also, working on finishing the new layout for my site. Giant to do list, but I hope I can get it all done and get caught up. Cheers

Time for another iGoogle theme?

May 5th, 2009

So i came across my old iGoogle theme I made in the fall and was thinking of making another one. Shockingly, they’re extremely easy to create. Its a large XML document.  I have been working on a new layout for my site. I was thinking of another landscape but similar to the landscape, but different style.
Summer Landscape - iGoogle Theme

I am trying to free my schedule from client work to start working on the new layout, stil need to work on the move right text, bottom posts boxes, colors, and what the single page is going to look like, all in all its a work in progress. Almost done with a jQuery tutorial on submitting a  comment form and having the results loaded using jQuery/Ajax. The comments on the page are loading using PHP, JSON, and jQuery, very slick. Expect that very soon.

New Layout and Trip

May 4th, 2009

Its been a very long time! I have been extremely busy with the end of the school year with finals as well as client work up to my eye balls. I have been working on a new layout for ryancoughlin.com and you can check a quick preview here: http://ryancoughlin.com/nightday/

If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free. Still needs alot of work. My goal is to get this up fairly soon. The site needs a face lift, looking a bit dull.

Along with the new layout, I have some blog posts that I have been working on, so keep your RSS feeders ready. If not, head over to the subsribe box and grab my Feedburner URL.

I am going to be headed off to Europe on May 13, starting in England, then headed to Greece to end my trip. Im going to do my best to keep at blog posts as well as keeping my flickr updated. Expect lots of pictures. I’ll do my best to keep it updated.

Stay tuned for updates.

Busy…Busy

December 14th, 2008

Hey everyone! I have been extremely busy with the past couple of weeks due to the end of the semester coming and trying to get my finals and projects out of the way. Just about done with my ASP shopping cart application and my usability project. I am just about done with the fall semester, so expect some posts here soon in a week. I also meant to post my iGoogle theme I created, its nothing crazy, but thought I would make some fun of it. Try it out!iGoogle Theme - Summer Landscape

If you have any ideas or requests that you would like to see, please let me know, drop an e-mail or comment.

Finally updated my WP and I love the new interface so far, they did a great job on it.  Install went smooth as always.

I am currently working on a same page ajax search and highlight script using jQuery, it is almost done, so stay tuned. I am also going to make some tweaks to the layout, I need more color on this temporary one, you will probably be seeing some changes over the next couple of weeks.

Take care! Cheers.
