Some Updates
Posted by jeggent on March 12, 2014
Bootstrap Site
I’ve made some good progress on my Bootstrap site. The site is still very much under development, but you can see several Bootstrap elements (containers, columns, a form, an image rotator, responsive table, and footer) on my American Warming Louver Selection Wizard. That image rotator was quite a bit of trouble and I did have to make some minor changes to the bootstrap.css file to get the right and left buttons to show. I would really like to update the DIV with the results using AJAX, but I couldn’t figure it out quickly. So AJAX will be a 2.0 feature if there is ever a version 2.0.
The Drawdio
Since I was making such good progress with the Bootstrap site I thought it would be OK to get started on the Drawdio weekend project. To buy all of the items on the list as specified would be around $50. There are four resistors needed and the parts list has you buying a 100 pack of resistors for over $20. You can buy three of the four separately for just a couple of dollars. I still need to find a 270K ohm 1/4 watt resistor. The parts list also has you buying a 50 pack of capacitors to get the one 560 pF capacitor that is needed. I’m hoping to find just these two things to keep the total cost around $30.
Another Daily E-mail
I have another e-mail to add to the list of daily emails you actually want to receive. The BookBub e-mail sends you ebook deals that you may be interested in based on the options you select on sign-up. I’ve found a couple of good bargains from this email, one of which I’m reading right now (Moth).
I hope you find this information useful.
