A Productive Month

Originally published on 11/23/2010

In the last month, I’ve

  • Started using LoaderMax for all my runtime loading in flash.
  • Created my first cron job.
  • Completed my first jQuery-only job at my work.
  • Learned a whole lot more about php, MySQL, curl and a little bit more javascript.
  • Figured out some ways to better secure a WordPress site.

So yeah, a productive month to say the least.
