ted 2.0 - a site redesign
Well it’s been almost a year since this site has had an overhaul. The previous design, “Orange Mint” was a 4.7 beta site and held up well over the past year, despite it being very out of date. With all the changes going on in my life (forthcoming

JavaScript Compression
As I was re-rolling my JS aggregation patch for Drupal [http://drupal.org/node/119441], I stumbled upon an interesting solution to an age old problem I’ve encountered numerous times. When I write various JavaScript files for websites, I often like to serve them out compressed—not only to
