Quick iCal Tip: Set Your Default Calendar

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:40:25 +0000

I have been going crazy trying to figure out why all my incoming meeting.ics files were going to my QuickBooks calendar (I have several calendars) and not another one. There had to be a setting somewhere, right? I could not find it, but I did discover how to inadvertently set it: drag the calendar you want to use as the default to the top (same goes with Mail.app).

In the last year or so I have really found a great set of tools that I use for almost any/all projects if needed. If you are considering building a web site or a web application – consider taking a look at the following (and consider using this as your “WWJU (what would Jen use) list:

CMS: WordPress
Javascript Library: jQuery
Slideshow: jQuery Cycle
Accordion: jQuery Accordion
Open Source Flash Player: Flow Player
JS UI Tools: jQuery Tools (overlays, tooltips, etc)
JS QA Tool: JS Lint (find/correct those errors!)
Web Site Best Practices: Yahoo! Recommendations
Minify Tool: minify (minify your JS/CSS)
Basic Tutorials: W3 Schools (JS/XHTML/PHP, etc)
Hosting: Liquid Web
Offsite Backups: Jungle Disk

If you ever need any recommendations – please ask.

When is Vacation?

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:02:47 +0000

I have been going non-stop now since the summer and dream of some time away from it all so I can either finish something fun or just relax yet every week day, weekend, and non-sleeping hour seems to be jammed packed with something.

I absolutely love owning my own business but sometimes it makes things like taking time off or getting away a bit more complicated. Let me re-phrase that…getting completely away.

Any business owners out there that have a secret they want to share so I can better enjoy my time?

I am happy to be busy but it seems lately – clients are contacting me via phone, email, even Facebook (had to adjust my privacy settings) at all times and are non-stop.

Serenity now!
