Endings

I’ve decided to change how I handle my on-line stuff. I used to have a number of different sites that I used for different things. I’m going to be consolidating most of it to one place.

For book reviews, if I ever find the time to get doing them again (which I really hope to do) I will just post them at my personal blog rather than having a website just for them. It makes more sense now that I think about it.

I’m going to take this site, export everything as static html, and put that up in place of the existing WordPress site. I do not intend to make any new posts here.

So it will still exist for historical purposes but there will be nothing new. If I write new stuff it will be at my blog – https://jrpeck.com/scribbles

My plan is just to use tags or categories to differentiate types of content so people can find what they want. (Using people here makes me chuckle – there were never a lot of people reading this stuff here – mostly it all happened with the reviews posted over at Slashdot. Anyway it’s funny.)

Thanks

One such library, focused on providing tools for building RIAs is Ext JS. For the aspiring developer looking to use Ext JS, Packt provides a guide to the library in the form of Learning Ext JS
