@spud, what was that font making program you showed me in 4th year? The simple and cheap one...

cr42yr1ch - 21:59 - 86.30.178.178

Thanks for that. I rode a Brompton this afternoon, cool folding mechanism but having such tiny wheels makes the ride quite strange. I think I'll stick with the old hybrid style and use the old bike as spare parts FitzBilleh Smilie

joee - 18:31 - 188.222.88.197

I don't know much about folding bikes, there are lots of websites with reviews etc. One of the best cycling online superstores is chain reaction cycles but sadly tey don't seem to stock many foldy bikes

I'd advise looking up a few models in your price range then read some reviews. I know Brompton are a renowned british manufacturer.

Alex - 13:45 - 195.112.2.127

Ah, I was curious about that.

My bike is falling apart so I'm thinking about a new one, maybe a folding bike so it can be taken on the bus/tube/train. Any advice about what to look for or avoid?

It was my collegue Joe at work when I was explaining how the password protection for spam bots worked!

Alex - 19:09 - 217.171.129.68

hmm, suspicious!

cr42yr1ch - 17:08 - 86.30.178.178

yeah, so why did the first message from Joe come from Lex's IP?

dddd - 13:49 - 131.111.185.38

Hi World!
Nice site Rich FitzBilleh Smilie

... and on a side note I am trying to add every geeky feature possible; rss, twitter, qr code, anything I have missed?

cr42yr1ch - 21:28 - 86.30.178.178

The email addy is nice isn't it FitzBilleh Smilie

And yes the sculpting is a webcam/laser pointer 3D scanner...

The site structure is not editable online but is all kind of database driven - except it uses the file structure instead of a database. If I upload a picture with the right name format it is automatically added to the gallery which corresponds to that folder. It also looks for a text file with the description and displays that...

The RSS and latest content pages pages are totally automatic too...

cr42yr1ch - 21:26 - 86.30.178.178

New 65dos album on spotify

Alex - 17:25 - 195.112.2.127

And Laser sculpting? Is that playing with your lasers and a webcam?

Alex - 16:35 - 195.112.2.127

I just noticed the way you encoded your email address rich. Simple and effective, I like FitzBilleh Smilie

QR barcode is nice too.

Does that PHP site have a backend to edit pages or is it all in files?

Alex - 16:30 - 195.112.2.127

Hi World

The favicon was going to be that but I decided an animated one would be annoying... The current one is just a still of that.

And re:twitterfeed.com I feed my blog and site into facebook and twitter...

cr42yr1ch - 13:20 - 129.67.82.137

What is your favicon all about btw?

ddddd - 13:03 - 131.111.185.38

v nice site Rich - had not noticed the text shadow until Lex mentioned it - but generally is easy to navigate and looks good. great work

phil - 12:01 - 193.82.52.4

So you feed your twitter into facebook?

Alex - 11:52 - 195.112.2.127

I need to make a portfolio and self site sometime too. Useful to put things like personal wikis on etc too.

Alex - 10:55 - 195.112.2.127

btw if you dont know about it http://twitterfeed.com/ is pretty handy; rss-->twitter and facebook...

cr42yr1ch - 10:52 - 129.67.82.137

Well given you like it I'll open it up to the world... I hope it doesn't get hacked too quickly, there is quite a lot of custom php in it so there are probably some code injection points...

Minimalism gives quick load times! It does fall apart a bit when the css features aren't supported though, it looks pretty ugly in ie6...

cr42yr1ch - 10:50 - 129.67.82.137

Sweet site rich!

I see you've found some CSS3 like text shadow FitzBilleh Smilie

It looks very good and is nice and fast - quick page loads and it looks really pretty!

I didn't know you had a blog either, some really cool stuff on there! I just don't get how you have the time for all that stuff FitzBilleh Smilie

Alex - 10:21 - 195.112.2.127

I only found out you had a blog very recently, now you have a site! Is nice FitzBilleh Smilie

I preordered new 65dos album btw, comes with an audio teaser - is nice FitzBilleh Smilie

dddd - 08:36 - 131.111.185.38

So who wants to test out a website? Looking for bugs, broken links and typos.

This is the secret way in until I take down the under construction notice...

Btw I know lots of the pages don't pass html validation, I'm on it!

Yeah I used a mootools slideshow with my joomla sites (as they come with mootools already and there is a joomla extension that wraps it all up nicely)

The script is well documented, and very easy to edit buttons and stuff with the CSS.

Alex - 09:22 - 195.112.2.127

so lex, you do a lot of web dev stuff... do you have a dead simple js slideshow template script? I could use one!

cr42yr1ch - 08:33 - 86.30.178.178

Sat 24th April

Word of the Day

Meteor

Game : Super Smash Brothers

To get meteored is to absolutely take it from above and get sent down very fast off the bottom of the level - death occurs.

Characters who can meteor-
Mario (down+B)
Donkey Kong (down+A or side+A)
Samus (down+A)
Captain Falcon (down+A)
Ness (down+A)
Yoshi (side+A - nigh-on impossible though)
Kirby (up+B on the way down, down+A is a kind of meteor, but more an interupter)
Fox (down+B - needs skills)
JP (down+A again is a kind of meteor, but more an interupter)

I will buy a pint for the first person I see meteor with Yoshi
