I encountered a rather obscure IE bug at work this week. After coding up a series of text inputs that enable/disable other radio buttons based on their values, I was dismayed to find out my javascript code wasn’t working in a test environment.

What should be a fun and exciting life event, has been marred by the incredibly frustrating and stressful process of trying to get a loan. I… Continue Reading →
Hey everybody, kind of an exciting Friday Fix this week. I just submitted my first pull request to an open source project! First, a little back story. A short while ago I noticed a discussion on Twitter, that spread to github, regarding the name of a particular javascript testing library named Testacular. I believe that… Continue Reading →
In working with a Liferay theme recently, I came across a curious bug involving jRuby and CentOS 6. It manifested itself in a rather confusing SASS parser error (the details of which I don’t have anymore). To add to this confusion, I had just switched from using the traditional Ant-based Liferay plugins build to using… Continue Reading →
