If Architects Had To Work Like Web Designers

Jun 27, 2007 Author: Jamie | Filed under: General

Dear Mr. Architect: Please design and build me a house. I am not quite sure of what I need, so you should use your discretion. My house should have somewhere between two and forty-five bedrooms. Just make sure the plans are such that the bedrooms can be easily added or deleted…

MySQL Calendar

Jun 27, 2007 Author: Jamie | Filed under: CSS, Code, Dev, General, Javascript, PHP

VERSION 1.1 RELEASED!

Changes: Added (by popular demand) Event deletion!
Ok… I have finally got this script working!

I have not done it like a tutorial because it is just too big, so here are a load of screen shots, There is a link to a fully functional demo and zip at the bottom!

A little setup information:

1. Copy the entire calendar into whatever directory you want.

2. Create your database and import the ‘databaseSQL.sql’ file into it, this will create the default data for running it.

3. Alter the ‘databaseConnection.php’ file to show your connection details.That should be it..

NOTE:By default the username and password are both ‘admin‘ (without the quotes), i suggest you change your password in the control panel.

If you have any problems i will be happy to help, just post your query as a comment to this page.

[Portfolio] MT4Uth

May 15, 2007 Author: Jamie | Filed under: Portfolio

MT4Uth approached me in mid 2006 and asked that I update their website, they requested that the main layout and pictures be kept the same, just update a little and link it into a custom CMS (content management system) for easy administration.

I moved the website over from being table layed out to pure CSS making it alot easier to update when needed.
The CMS was custom made to give them full control over all pages along with news stories.

The image below is the latest change moving from the old style scrolling news iframe to a rotating news area as well as some colour enhancements.

AJAX – jQuery Content Loading

Mar 20, 2007 Author: Jamie | Filed under: General

In response to Sérgio of estudio5.org this morning, i have created a jQuery script that does the same as the Prototype script i created a few weeks ago Ajax Content Load

This is the first time i have ever used jQuery, it is much more light weight, and unless you are using Prototype to its full potential, jQuery is perfect… I am thinking of using it alot more often!

Anyways, here is a link to the demo and a zip for everyones convenience!

2Big2Send – Open for Beta

Mar 17, 2007 Author: Jamie | Filed under: 2Big2Send

2Big2Send Logo
2Big2Send has just been opened for Beta.

2Big2Send will enable people to send large files anywhere in the world without clogging up your sent-items and the recipients inbox, not to mention avoiding the bounce messages you get after waiting 20mins to send that 200Mb file :(

2Big2Send will give you an easy interface to track the emails and files that you send through our system giving you the piece-of-mind that the file you sent was received on the other side.

As usual we will be offering a free sending utility straight from the home page, this will be limited to 250Mb.

So what sets us apart from everyone else?
+ Files uploaded to our servers are all done through a secure socket layer (SSL) to eliminate your files being intercepted.
+ We know that there are speed differences in downloading a file from the UK or USA, therefore we look at the recipients email address, and choose a server closest to their country to achieve the fastest possible download time.
+ Mailing list support will be built into our business packages allowing you to send the same file to many people.
+ Bounce emails can be a pain therefore we tag each email that is sent from your account so we are able to catch the bounce emails and notify you of the error.

What do I get as a Beta user?
As a Beta user you will benefit from all the features during the beta period, then a discount on our services when we officially launch.

So what’s next?
We are aiming to have the beta system up and running by the 1st April, you will be able to use the main system for sending and collecting files once we see that this is running as it should be in the real world (internal testing cannot batter it enough) we will start adding the advanced modules for your use.

If you are interested!
