It has been some time since I’ve been able to get to this, for a good reason.  Multiple good reasons, actually.  Since last post, I have gotten a job, moved to New Orleans, and had another kid.

In August of last year I answered a craigslist post for a job with a web development company in New Orleans.  I heard back almost immediately, and soon after got the job.  I now work for Fusionbox in an office in the French quarter.  Fusionbox is a Denver web design company that just last year opened an office in New Orleans; I was the first employee!  I do updates for existing sites, build out and do bug work for new sites, and even do a little bit of design.

This job has given me (besides a paycheck!) a chance to learn Javascript and PHP better, because I have to deal with it on a regular basis.  Even though  the company has other people who do Javascript and PHP, I have been able to play around with it enough to get a much better grasp on it.  We often use the jQuery Javascript library, which I have used to make slideshows and clever animated mock-ups.
