It is finally time for joelnagy.com to be updated. I haven’t changed things here for quite a while and want to use this space as a way for me to communicate my thoughts and ideas on web technology. I’ve been a web developer since 1995 and have worked on many web sites, web applications, and web technology software. Over the last 13 years I’ve developed for telecommunications, educational and advertising companies among others. Explore my linkedin.com profile to learn about who I am and where I’ve been. I currently work for dotglu an interactive marketing company that is part of kirshenbaum bond + partners which is a medium sized advertising company. I head up their web development department and work on projects for companies such as BMW, Diageo, Panasonic and NetJets.

During a stint with Arc90 I wrote and contributed to a number of blog entries about web technology ideas and JavaScript code snippets:

Sometimes you are truly better off starting from scratch: There are definate reasos when code reuse is a bad idea
Brain Games: How video games are cerebral and useful
Javascript : The Second Coming: Why JavaScript is very important today, more than ever before

Ideas:
Search Clouds: An idea for applying meta data to search results
How to Trust Email Again: An concept that applies to adding a layer of trust to emails

Tools:
MultiSelect: convert a multiple option select easily into a single dynamic dropdown
Alternating Rows: apply alternating colours to a table with a theme or custom colour list
External Link: place a small image next to a link to pop and external link into a new window
Image Caption: floats an image nicely on the screen with caption applied to it
Link Thumbnail: creates simple web site previews of externally linked sites
Unobtrusive Sidenotes: creates a side floated representation of a sidenote/tangent in a paragraph
