Created my first Python module. Uploaded to PyPi. Source code available at GitHub.

Added Hawaiian 2013 vacation pictures.

Rewrote checklinks in Python.

Rewrote this site using Bootstrap. Bootstrap is both easy to learn and implement.

Rewrote both Contacts Exporter and Rename in Python.

Last week I attended Python Fundamentals, at Marakana, it was an outstanding introduction to the Python programming language. I had done some Python studying (1 book and 1 online course) on my own, but Python Fundamentals brought it all together nicely. Simeon Franklin is an excellent instructor. I hope to return for the advanced Python course someday.

Added Phipps Conservatory December 2012 Pictures pictures.

Added Atlantic Cruise 2012 pictures.

Added a Pictures page.

Updated all of the vacation pictures to use the Google Maps Static API instead of the dynamic API. The Google Maps Static API is clean and easy to use, and it produces great images.

Added my Cruise Recommendations page.

Two weeks ago, I attended Apache and Tomcat Training at Marakana's San Francisco location. The training was interesting and informative. I would recommend to any developer who uses httpd and Tomcat.

I am quoted in Chris Elliott's article on fall travel deals.

I have converted all of the scholnick.net pages (except for existing the picture only pages) to HTML5. I had never bothered to remove all of the table based layout in favor of a div based layout; the payoff didn't seem like it was worth effort. But converting to HTML5 did make sense to me. I have greatly reduced the bandwidth and the complexity of the code.

I had to do some tweaks to the CSS. It looked good on my 24 inch LED Cinema Display but not on some smaller screens, all fixed now. I've tested the site so far in: IE 6/7/8, Firefox 3.6.2 (MacOSX/WinXP), Firefox 3.5.9 (WinXP), Firefox 3.0 (Red Hat), Opera (MacOSX/WinXP), Chrome (MacOSX), and Safari (MacOSX/iPhoneOS).

splice online has been taken down. It wasn't used that much anymore. splice is always available for download.
