Nice blade up there, Todd.


I made something today too...
My first real departure in a sheath. Unveiling of the knife will have to wait a bit longer.
Ambi drop-loop convertible tek-lock compatible bushcraft style kydex/leather combo... wow, that's a mouthful.
(no eyelets so the sheath can be washed and dried - carbon steel)

Since nobody has jumped in here, I'll try to help you out RB. I think the most common in your neck of the woods would be Argiope trifasciata or yellow garden spider.

Thanks for the response, do you know what his hourly rate is and if he is versed in jQuery?

I remember you telling me you do some coding here and there for work. Did you ever use jQuery/javascript or did you find that it wasn't necessary very often for the average customer?

Oooh, me likey!

On a different note: it would be nice in spring for it to actually be spring... as in sunshine, green leaves on the trees and such.
That does not include a few inches of snow, thank you very much!
 
Yeah I hear ya. Woke up this morning and its snowin pretty good here. Already a inch or so on the ground.

If you go for the first year of the raptor, when it's still just a package (hehe insert package joke) I believe you can get those now for the mid teens maybe as high as low twenties. As opposed to the 52 and change-ish now.

as it happens, i'm a Softwa Re Engineer well versed in Javascript (and many other languages and tech)

jQuery is just one of good ways to ultimately interact with the myriad of browsers to keep browser issues low, and interoperability high (silly browsers) - there's more smarts in jQuery than any dozen humans put together for a given web app team ;) JavaScript has "good parts" but none of them without cost.

now, i would say jQuery is always useful, BUT it depends on exactly what you think it can do, and why you are using it. i've found out to my chagrin that many customers use a lot of buzzwords without fully comprehending a number of factors - what they want do, how they want to do it, WHO they want to do it, how much they think it's worth ;).

a lot of people ... dabble :) not very many of them are programmers. the difference between hiring uncle frank for a six pack, and later calling in the guy that gets paid $250/hr at 4am on a holiday weekend to fix the previous job. somewhere in between is a good balance.

for front end UI work, it's generally best i think if you have one guy work on the layout, look and feel, CSS, and interaction parameters... and another guy that connects the plumbing up. it's rare to find someone that does both well, so you get to choose which layer they are best at, if you're lucky. you will find a lot of people saying they do both well, and do it for a six pack. they hurt the pros bottom line ultimately.

Thanks for the response! My dad is somewhere along your line, knows several languages and knows how to do them well and hates walking into a job where the last guy left a bunch of junk code he has to fix. He knows javascipt, jquery, sql, html, css, c++, java, etc etc. He's been professionally coding for years and is trying to help me find my niche so I was wondering how many average sites made for customers require use of jQuery type coding. He only does web development as a side gig it's not where he made his bones but he's pretty decent at it. Here's his site:
