I’ve been trying to clean up some of the art that is lying around. Here is an old favorite.

I just finished a site for a friend’s wholesale carpet business. I’ve been working on it pro-bono and have been anything but prompt it getting it done. However, the main site layout is now complete and we’ve begun putting content into it. Check out SacFloorStore.com.

I’m using Google Maps on their ‘Directions’ page to provide customized driving directions from the customer’s location to Floor Store. I’m using javascript to asemble the url based on form input. If the user has javascript disabled, the form submits to a map view of Floor Store’s location. Not too bad.

I just had to write a short post about Backpackit. It really is an awsome service. I’ve been using it for some time now and have really enjoyed it. Now, I’ve gotten my boss to start using it to submit trouble tickets on the software we are working on. It really makes hunting down bugs and fixing much faster as there is a simple list to run through now.

Some of the javascript techniques they are using are really slick (the ability to reorder your list items by dragging and dropping them into place comes to mind). They really are a great example of the current state of web apps. We’ve come a long way, baby!
