a new theme

Friday, October 6th, 2006

Okay, I was getting more than a little bored with the previous rack of themes so decided to take a little “time-out” at work to surf for some more.

I found K2 which also allows for further style customisation, pretty neat and a quick way to slap a coat of paint on the blog.. this should tie in nicely with my photo gallery (when it’s finished :p). On that topic, I can’t decide whether to make it completely open access or not? On one hand I don’t want people to have to registere before they can even view my photos; on the other hand I don’t want some weirdo poring over pictures of my family :/

working on my photo gallery

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

After numerous people nagging me to get my photo collection online, I have started to write a photo/video gallery from scratch and hopefully integrate it into this blog.

It is going to be a fairly standard php/mysql setup with albums filed under categories/subcategories.. nothing new there, just none of the available ones fitted my needs so I thougt I’d create it myself.

Watch this space.

porting legacy code

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

.. to alternative legacy code, what the feck is a man to do? Work are getting me to help in porting an archaic CMS Windows client setup (written in ClearBasic!) to a web-based client. Aah, progress you may say but the thin client is written in ASP with a hefty sprinkling of both javascript and vbscript. Yes, classic asp! One wonders when it’ll be brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century :p

Oh yeah, forgot to say - it’s not standards compliant and is written purely for IE.. where is my :cry: smilie: ??
