CMS for the Accessible Federal Agency- April 25, 2008 Every now and then I'm tasked with an especially interesting assignment at the office. A real "humdinger" of a task that breaks the cycle of normalcy and helps to pad the old resume. By default my job tends to revolve around a few tasks that are repeated throughout the weeks and months: website design, maintenance, Section 508 issue resolution, UI support, and helping to write standard operating procedureswhite papers. So when new, important tasks come up, I always jump at the chance to help.http://www.mexijew.com/2008/04/cms-for-accessible-federal-agency.php Site transition: Successful!- April 23, 2008 I am pleased to inform you that the move from my former web host to my new host, as well as the transition from ASP-driven pages to PHP-driven pages was successful and there was zero downtime. The DNS update was propogated within four hours of the initial update, and thanks to some handy tricks with my .htaccess file, search engine placement and bookmarks should be preserved perfectly. The only thing that isn't currently working is the contact form, which I'll need to work on a bit.

Initially, all of the pages will still be .asp, but I've got the .htaccess file configured to read the .asp extension as a php file, thus preserving search engine placement and keeping URL's fresh and real. See you on the flip side!http://www.mexijew.com/2008/04/transition-begins.php Is it time for Hillary to pack it up- April 16, 2008 As many of my old readers know, and most of the new ones have probably figured out, I am a liberal. A moderate liberal, anyway. I'm not one of those "foam at the mouth" types who go monkey shit crazy for raising taxes and social programs, but I'm definitely more to the left than I am to the right. I, like many Americans, have been displeased with the way the US policy has been shaped in the last seven years and I'm looking forward to a change of any kind, because let's be honest here: None...http://www.mexijew.com/2008/04/is-it-time-for-hillary-to-pack-it-up.php It's time for a change- April 9, 2008 For over five years now, I've blogged on Mexijew.com and it's been a bittersweet experience. I enjoy blogging, and really enjoy all of the great feedback and e-mails I get from people. I haven't enjoyed the racist e-mails and comments, or the fact that I'm simply not comfortable giving some of my coworkers the link to this blog because, well, mexijew sounds more like a racial slur than something that an IT professional writes on. With that in mind, I believe it's time for a change. I'm going.http://www.mexijew.com/2008/04/its-time-for-change.php A Haiku- April 2, 2008 Busy week at work Nothing of substance to write Dogs love Snausages.
