There’s been some great discussion surrounding my latest article for A List Apart. It is amazing to see how some people get the idea of progressive enhancement and some just don’t (or perhaps refuse to).

Hello, my name is Aaron Gustafson and I’m a delinquent blogger. It’s been over a month since my last confessionpost.

I received an email announcement yesterday that WestHost (my host of choice) is going to be offering Ruby on Rails for install through its Site Manager. I guess it means that, sometime this month, my tutorial on the subject will no longer needed.

While building a Flash game, I wrote some code to alternate through squares on a grid system and it seemed rather slow. My code made use of the % (modulo) operator and, thinking that was the cause, I went in search of a better solution. I blew the dust off the Bitwise operator (&) and researched what it actually does. As it turns out, this little bit of programming’s past can be quite handy.

Apparently I missed the release of Web Design in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition. It hit bookshelves February 23rd.

Well, after much debate and deep deliberation, I did it. I quit my job.

While working on a new site for a client, I stumbled upon an application of the Leahy/Langridge method of image replacement… to images.

It managed to sneak past me for a few days, but my recent interview with Jeremy Keith has made its way into the latest issue of Digital Web Magazine. In the interview we cover the impetus behind his new book, WaSP's DOM Scripting Task Force, and Jeremy's future as a rockstar.

I have been hosting on Westhost for a little over four years now with no major complaints and I also host the majority of my clients there. They offer a lot of options for very little money and are always adding new features to the accounts. Unfortunately, Ruby on Rails is not one of them… yet.
