WARNING ORDER

Step One: Take a sabbatical

You've reached davidpuerto.com and have arrived at the single point of contact online for David Puerto. Moment of truth: I lack the self-control to have a Facebook and I come off a little self-absorbed. So I voluntarily left New Years Day, 2011 and I sort of enjoy it. With everyone plugged into the mundanity... I figured I'd do something constructive with my internet time.

more coming soon!

Extending Piecemaker 2

Grab XML with Flash and Pass it to the DOM with JavaScript!

I’ve received several emails from people in the Envato community who have been trying to execute Lightbox from Flash using Piecemaker 2 and reference it’s XML to populate the contents of the Lightbox. So here it is!!!

more coming soon!

If you've ever told a kid: “Whatever you do make sure that it’s so big either the world comes to an end or you wind up on TV...” Please contact me below.

Coding should *not* cause a fight or flight response!

According to http://changingminds.org/explanations/brain/fight_flight.htm:

“When we perceive a significant threat to us, then our bodies get ready either for a fight to the death or a desperate flight from certain defeat by a clearly superior adversary. ”

This is an interesting experience when you are a front-end web developer working on an enterprise project that is suddenly feeling like a house of cards.

So suddenly something breaks that everyone is working on and the same things gets done and undone like shoe strings over and over again, finally when you get them tied someone ties yours together and you fall flat on your face. You go through and change the CSS and everything appears to be working in every browser finally! You spent two days going through every template on every page in every browser to make sure you don’t miss anything… Moment of truth! So why does resolving a merge conflict and pushing feel like an adrenaline rush of the worst kind? Because despite everything working locally everything still breaks… why?

I'm an American, indepedent web-contractor of 27 years residing in Cleveland, Ohio. Presently doing front-end development in-house on sherwin-williams.com at none other than: Sherwin-Williams Headquarters. In my freetime I like to swim with mermaids and do 158 at Cleveland State University Recreation Center in preparation for obstacle course racing amongst other things...
