It’s the last day of a 3 weeks run. I’ve been working on evenings and week ends on finalizing the development of CabEasy.com and integrating some very early feedback. I had a small to do list that I detail below, and have been able to work my way through it (besides some friends visiting and my girlfriends being in New York for a while !).

And tonight, I am done !

Here was my to-do-list:

• Change name (see my posts here):
• Design a logo (see my post here):
• Change hosting provider (analysis on connection times, check here):
• Update DNS info on Dreamhost:
• Redesign web site with new format (this has been the most difficult I guess, but I am now pretty good with CSS formatting, see my post here):
• Clean the site header file:
• Verify contact form:
• Send email alerts in html format:
• Redo the form validation in Ajax with the jQuery library:
• Add Delete a trip function:
• Add “twitter your trip” function (see my post here):
• Improve search on home page:
• Add contact / bug / new feature form:
• Add UserVoice or GetSatisfaction feedback widget (finally opted for UserVoice):
• Add a test on TripDetails to see if trip exists and is still active:
• Test twitter + delete functions online:
• Set an automatic backup of the database:
• On the “Save new trip” page, add fading tool-tips (based on QuirksMode):
• Create a Screencast of the service:
• Rewrite the “FAQ” page:

I’m now ready for some heavy crash testing, and you’re all welcome to help !
