I love this pie!  It is a family favorite, which we always make on Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I’m immortalizing the recipe here for my own sake; I keep losing the one my mom gave me.  I’m quoting this directly from: http://www.nickers.com/kentucky-derby-pie-recipe.htm

1 Pie crust

Filling:

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

2 tablespoons Kentucky Bourbon

Beat eggs with cooled butter. Add flour & sugar. Beat until mixed well. Stir in pecans, chocolate & bourbon. Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until set.

My buddy Drew Diller (who is a freaking CSS genius) has come up with a clever solution to get CSS backgroun d-image support working in IE – including background positioning and repeating.  If you are tired of using AlphaImageLoader and want something easier, check this out:

It lets you use a PNG image as a CSS background-image property in IE6 without much fuss at all!

I’ll soon be working on a screencast for the JavaScript build module that Jonathan Doklovic wrote for his enterprise build system (which leverages Jira, Bamboo, Ivy, and Ant).  The JavaScript module takes advantage of JsUnit for unit testing, YUICompressor for compression and lint checking, and JsDoc Toolkit for source documentation.

I’ve also contributed a Flex build module to this system, and hopefully it will be put through the paces soon so that any major deficiencies can be exposed and worked out.
