Strolen:
This is more an exercise to keep track of what I do for my own record as well as a motivator. If I think somebody cares then I am more apt to keep from falling into the doldrums.

Step one. Upgrading to Bootstrap 2.0 (beta) and getting rid of the jqueryui which is a lot of overhead for the few things it provides. The pretty buttons most everywhere, tabbing and the sliding in the user panel. All that can be done with lighter code (some now even included in bootstrap!). CSS for the jqueryui is huge too. So slimmer is better.
So that will probably be the work for the next little bit. That and cleaning up the login code to minimize what is snagged.
I mentioned in another thread that the style will remain pretty basic while we work on the ebook. Once that is done I will decide if I want to drop another dime and get the designer to help me with webpage design as well. Will still mess with colors and backgrounds and stuff but will concentrate on making it easier to customize and theme. Current one is actually pretty plain with only the most basic of modifications and such.
So it begins!
Strolen:
FOILED.
jqueryui has autocomplete which is so darn easy to use and it is already working. No easy replacement for that. Will leave that working for now but still replace the other parts. Trimmed down .js and I cleaned all the .css but still..... Other additions will probably require extra code as well. Guess I will eventually have to pick the best of the two evils.

Why not make a custom jQueryUI distro? They've got the tools right there on the website; you pick what modules you want, and they generate all the minified code and CSS that you need for it. No more, no less. I'm currently doing it for a webapp I'm building for a client; when I needed to add Autocomplete, I just rebuilt the distro and swapped out the included files. It took maybe 20 minutes, and that was mostly me figuring out exactly what modules I was already using.

I did. But even with that it is still 20kb for minimum core UI with autocomplete and then whatever I can parse the 20kb css down to. Just a lot of bloat for the core infrastructure that is made to do way more than just autocomplete. When I was using accordian, autocomplete and tabs it made more sense. But now that bootstrap handles that I only really want one feature from it I would rather lose the weight.
Will have to look at it as I go though, it has a lot of cool features that I haven't found a way to use yet. If it is worth it, it is worth it.
Strolen:
Sick of netbeans. Love the CTRL-S save local and remote but I can't stand the autoquotes that it forces on me everytime. Yes, I unchecked that option but it doesn't care and am running the most recent. Reading forums many have this issue that is "fixed."
So giving PhpStorm a try. A bonus that it supports all the versioning styles so may mess with bitbucket again for fun. Anybody have a preference? I still have a sourceforge account as well but nothing else. Although I did take a look at Springloops but only allows one other user and I couldn't figure out the interface in the 20 minutes I wasted trying.
By the way, Teriyaki Boyz -> thumbs up
