More AJAX than a webby can handle
On my journey into AJAX, well in and out whilst being distracted by paying jobs; I have come across a great resource at AJAX Impact.
Introducing with lime
Reboot has come and I have been well and truly rebooted. So, let me introduce the new flavour lime. There is a fair bit new and a fair bit to come. First of all let me just note that the flavour choice has now gone, this is only temporarily though. This reboot ended up being a complete overhaul of the diary system and as a result the old templates just didn’t cut it. So, keep posted as I plan over the next few weeks to bring back each flavour in slightly more refined method.
Bashing head against wall
I firmly believe that a great percentage of web development is about blind determination. Those moments when you without relent bash your head against code which insists on having one elusive error. In these times the usual crutches of loud music, coffee, nicotine and chocolate just do not cut through the agony of a parsing error.
What did you do today?
Today was a rather busy day for me which basically resulted in (finally) two websites being rolled out. Makes me think maybe if I could channel these productive days across the board I probably wouldn’t constantly be overworked. Of course life is not like that and some things take time whilst other times do not. There we go what a friday thought – life sucks. Anyways, got a nice load of books from amazon so starting to finally get around to exploring AJAX. Considering in a far far universe away I begun my web career through java, I am looking forward to getting back to a bit of solid DOM javascript mixed up with XML and my good ole friend CSS. Hoping to use it on a new project got looming too as seems perfect. As a result been collecting some AJAX links. Apart from the obvious good design there is a good resource at Ajaxian.
PHP security ooopseys
Sitepoint has a great article about PHP secuirty blunders. It is a nice little thin end of the wedge to give beginners an insight into a few possible issues. I still argue the point for PHP being a convert myself, but it is always better to code with your eyes open (I find coding blind causes mouse wandering).
Coding is easier than flat packs
I have come to the conclusion today that you need to have more skills than the average bear to actually do a flat pack. I can fix a puter, I can code, I can do web design – yet appear unable to actually do a flat pack. Yes, the new Ikea opened in Milton Keynes and yes we did go crazy flat pack style.
