<b>2007.3.18:</b> &nbsp;Version 1.4 of my servlet library, elseforif-servlet,
is up on
<%= out.A("http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=107664&package_id=135378", "SourceForge") %>
now.  --Jason
<br><br>
<b>2007.3.14:</b> &nbsp;A friend of mine asked me to code a little interface
for an NCAA tournament pool, called March Madness.
<%= out.A("http://www.chipsandwaycool.com", "The site") %> lets users enter
their favorite teams, and as the winners are entered in, users' scores are
tallied for them, which in previous years they would have to do on paper.
The UI worked out well, a reasonably good-looking layout using some newer
CSS features.  I'm using the site in an article for IBM's Java developerWorks
site, to show off my
<i>pure-servlets</i> design, also highlighted on ElseForIf.com.  --Jason
<br><br>
<b>2005.3.09:</b> &nbsp;I've been working on a new
<%= out.A("http://www.vancleve.com/help/Terminal?target=chapter7", "email reminder interface") %>,
essentially, on
<%= out.A("http://www.vancleve.com/", "VanCleve.com") %>.  There are commands
for adding singular or recurring events, each of which can be assigned various
intervals at which emails can be sent in advance of the event.  If you want
an account <i>(required for this feature)</i>, request one
<%= out.A("mailto:webmaster@vancleve.com", "here") %>.  --Jason
<br><br>
<b>2004.11.08:</b> &nbsp;Here marks the launch of this site, a little
moonlighting venture I call Else For If.  --Jason
<br><br>
<b>2004.10.26:</b> &nbsp;I've begun converting
<%= out.A("http://www.vancleve.com/", "VanCleve.com") %> to XHTML, just to
sink my teeth into the matter.  Most of it is
<%= out.A("http://validator.w3.org/", "validating") %> successfully.  I'm
tempted to slap that little W3C validator link icon on every page, just to flaunt
my own conformity.  --Jason
<br><br>
<b>2004.10.23:</b> &nbsp;I added the Gimp to the icon list, but in truth I've used
<%= out.A("http://www.jasc.com/products/", "Paint Shop Pro") %>
for most of the image work.  Anyone have a little PSP icon to add to my list?
