Status Update

I know I haven’t posted a blog entry in a couple days, and nothing really cool since the Extending Enums stuff, but I’m still here.  I’m pretty busy ith work and family life, and to quite honest, I haven’t thought of anything cool to blog about.  Here’s a couple of the things I am working on:

SharpVectors – get a new site up and running using the Portal Starter Kit.  We are tired of using Yahoo Groups for our discussions, and need more content on our site.  Hopefully it will be ready for the SVG Open.  Things slowing me up are all with the architecture of the Portal Starter Kit.  I hate the fact that it uses tables for the layout, and that it doesn’t render XHTML, so I’m trying to “fix” it.  Once it is done, I’ll post the updates.  The overall architecture of the Portal Kit is much different than I would have done it, which is a plus and a minus.  It gives me the opportunity to learn a different way to architect something.

CSS Skin – Like everyone else I’ve been busy developing my own CSS skin for my blog.  But besides looking good, I’m trying to get some best practices into it.  For one thing, no hard coding of sizes in pixels.

Conferences – I’ve been busy with getting the 3 conference presentations done.  2 are due this week, and a third next week.  I’ve got to figure out how much to I want to announce.  Specifically, do I want to make a public announcement of the details behind the Xenon Project.
