Office Fallout From Summit '07
While away for Summit this year our colleague (and certainly one of the primary creative technology drivers at PSU) took the charge to punish us for leaving him behind while we enjoyed sunny Las Vegas. Matthew Batchelder and company totally hacked up our four offices! They attacked my office with 5,000+ stickies, Portal Manager Ken Kochien's with 1,000+ yards of tinfoil, Luminis/WebCT developer Dan Bramer's with 500+ cups, and Workflow expert Dee Brown's with 200+ balloons. The pictures are truly telling, check them out!.
While on Matt's site, I'd encourage you to also check out his Javascript related posts. He drives most of the JS related innovation at PSU.
JQuery Toolkit
JSMin: JavaScript Compression
Remote JavaScripting
In addition to these posts, I'm encouraging him to write (or co-write) a Luminis centric post for LDN with many of the tips and techniques we leverage at Plymouth State.

That's classic!
Zach,
Thanks again for sharing your Luminis knowledge again this year and for sharing your office pics as well. I think it it time to start planning your revenge!
Nick
Revenge For Sure!
In many ways this was in response to a prank perpetrated by our old DBA and me on one of our sys admins. We "Rednecked" his office, including putting an actual golf cart in it, up on blocks!
Matt was involved in that one too, so this was a definite one up on that.
How the hell do you get a
How the hell do you get a golf cart for your office...? I want one! I'm gonna need to write that into my contract, now where is that DB password...
Whee
Actually, this wasn't a response to that prank at all...seeing how I was a pranker rather than a prankee in ye olde cart prank. ;) I just figured my co-workers all earned a little office love after a nice long trip out west. All in all, a fun time.
Zach mentioned that he was spreading jQuery love around the Developer's Lounge. Hands down this is a really great JavaScript toolkit. (It's the toolkit used by LDN's Drupal install if you haven't viewed source :D )
The jQuery docs are pretty solid.
The jQuery plugins that we've used for our new UI thus far are:
Accordian (cool accordian menus)
Thickbox (a lightbox implementation with jQuery)
DOM (an advanced DOM manipulation plugin)
Form (an advanced form manipulation plugin)
SelectBox (an advanced select box manipulation plugin)
At some point soon I'll type up the article Zach has mentioned showing what I've done to work jQuery into the new UI for those that are interested.
