2015.02.02 – More Fun With JQuery

Andrew wasn’t feeling well so he slept in. That completely messed up Wayne and I and we slept in as well. Needless to say I hurried and made some tea and got right to work. It was another foggy morning but not cold enough for a fire.

I worked on filling out the project structure by creating all of the directories and files I’d need and then I poked around the existing library trying to get a better sense of how it all fits together. It still feels big with many parts and pieces but I’m starting to see the flow.

I had a Vidyo conference with Peter in the afternoon just to go over things. It helps a lot to talk stuff over often. We talked about names and how we envision the user experience. I hope he won’t mind me having tons of questions all the time!

Alena and Dave were bringing the kids over in the late afternoon so I hurriedly finished up the JQuery stuff I was working on. It’s SO interesting! Once the kids showed up, I was done working for the day.

We played until it was time to make dinner. I made something kid friendly so we had not-chicken strips, tater tots and asparagus. They all ate plenty so that was good. After dinner Tiberias picked a movie. He wanted to watch Frozen. I guess they hadn’t seen it before because both Tiberias and Rialla started crying when the snow monster appeared. Ooops! I wasn’t sure if I should turn it off or have them watch and see everything be resolved. We talked about it and decided to keep watching. Anya is too little to care much about the movie so we just played while the other two watched. The movie ended just about when Dave and Alena returned. The kids were super tired and ready to go home. It was really nice getting to watch them!

Today I learned how to use JQuery to control drawing on a canvas. Cool!
