11 Dec 2009 - glKernedFont Section Complete

Currently the largest portion of the site at 22 pages, this was the biggest hurdle on getting the site ready to go live. In writing up how it works and documenting all the variables and calls, I was able to lean down and improve the code in the process, and even rename some types and variables for consistancy (and to just make a bit more sense).

From here I just need to get the SDL_Gradient section working, though I think I'm going to rename that to SDL_Texture, and add a few more functions to it like noise, bricklining, motion blur, etc to make it a true 'on the fly' texture library. Why waste time with giant bitmaps in your distribution if you can generate your textures on the fly with a bit of code?

08 Dec 2009 - Site Theme and CMS Complete

Site theme complete, and tied into my custom CMS system. Now to start plugging in some actual content for people to come see.

07 Dec 2009 - Site Development Begun

Ok, I've begun primary site development on this domain for my Pascal page. I've owned this domain for quite a while, never quite sure what to do with it. Now that I'm diving BACK into Pascal as much needed break from web development... I'm going to develop a website to share my Pascal stuff... Hey, wait one damned minute!?!

About Me

Me!

This site was created by Jason M. Knight, a retired software engineer with nearly four decades experience in electronics, software development, and graphic arts - not to mention a wide range of hobbies including Saxophone, EWI, programming, carving, drawing, and just being a general pain in the ass on web development forums ripping new holes for the nimrods who think HTML 5, JQuery or Dreamweaver are actually good things.

My Other Sites

CutCodeDown

Featuring articles, tutorials, and rants about web development. The focus of the site on minimalist semantic markup, separation of presentation from content, graceful degradation, and accessible design.

elementals.js

A small lightweight JavaScript library designed to promote good practices without becoming a bloated mess like most of the "frameworks" out there. Simplifies common cross-browser tasks, aids in navigating and manipulating the DOM, and polyfills bits of ECMAScript 5 that are not to be found in any version of IE.
