ShrimpUSA Started

I designed the look and began uploading files to the new project I have called ShrimpUSA. It’s on hold while we wait for DNS to update— usually takes a coupla days. Stay posted.

Oh, the really neat thing is I’ve got a few jobs through www.getafreelancer.com lately. Every one of them has been a fellow believer, and the last one was another music pastor! It’s so much nicer working with fellow believers (when they’re not cheap!). It’s like a big family.

Shopping Cart Integration

Well, I’ve made a huge advance and learned a lot about processing cookies tonight. And about headers for XML, and so much more. Headers are such finicky things. You’ve got to send them at the right time and with the right information or everything gets mucked up. I was never too concerned about it before, but now that my scripts send XML to the browser, or cookies, they all need to handle headers just a little differently.

It wouldn’t be such a big deal if I did what lots of other programmers do: multiple files to run a program. But I like everything consolidated into one file, so I have to use lots of brain-cells to figure out how the server will know what it’s supposed to do.

I’ve spent a few hours and fixed up FileCABINET so that it has an integrated shopping cart. It’s cookie based, much better than what was there before. People won’t lose things from their cart like was happening before. Maybe more sales will result. Here’s hoping.

I also have changed the text links to image links— but not sure I really like that yet. It does increase download times for the page.

I used IE’s _search window (a special pane that opens on the left side of the window). I’m curious to know how various browsers handle this. Austin, that’s a challenge for you: try to fill up a cart at Intelliscript.net and tell me what happens.

I’ve been SO BUSY with work lately. It’s good, and it’s bad (for my back).

Night night.
