Wow, its been a while since I have posted. I have been so busy with my logo designs that I have not had time to work on any of my websites. Luckily I am sick and tired of designing logos, so I am really excited to start updating all my sites again. I have been waiting months for proper software updates to get scribefire working, its finally running now so its a breeze to update my wordpress based sites. If you have a blog and have not tried scribefire yet, you should give it a go, its just a simple firefox addon that allows you to post to your blogs with a handy toolbar.

Well, I will be back later with some more consistent updates, I still have to finish the theme I have been making from scratch (fast loading with no images! for now…) – I also need have to finish my design for netigames and start a brand new design for lolcute, they have sat there half finished for ages now, its gonna be a busy few weeks!

As a side note, I found an interesting "game" called "TheNethernet", check it out here. Its an interesting concept, called a Passively multiplayer online game, or PMOG. You just browse the web as normal and can use various items to interact with other players, its hard to explain, but pretty fun!

I found a fun little multiplayer flash game called Jelly Battle – a great way to waste 30 minutes :)

Want to scrape other websites and explore/parse the DOM in php like you can in jQuery? Now you can! http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/

I have wanted something like this for quite a while, nice job!

One thing many websites use is the query string in urls, that let you pass variables from page to page, and to your script. These are normally written as website.com/script.py?name=bob where name would equal the variable name and bob would be the value. So how do you get these names and values? -> Continue Reading

I have been starting to learn python lately, and mostly would like to make some web applications with it, as I hate programming in php. So I set out to figure out how to use my python scripts on my website, its pretty simple! -> Continue Reading

Just wanted to make a post about a really fun site I found through reddit called instantaction.com – its got desktop quality multiplayer games you can play in your browser for free. I have been enjoying Fallen Empire: Legions – its a lot like an old FPS game called Tribes (which was awesome). Give it a try if you are bored, it beats the crap out of most of the "browser game" sites.

To calculate the radian of a degree in javascript, use this:
var degrees=90; //90 degree angle
var radian=(degrees*Math.PI) / 180;

And to do the opposite:
var degrees=(radian*180) / Math.PI;

When writing a cgi script in python, you will probably have a few errors in your code – normally all your left with is a blank screen or a cryptic message so its very hard to debug. -> Continue Reading

With the help of good ol' google, its simple to add jQuery support to any of your webpages. -> Continue Reading

I started learning python a while back, and made my first tutorial video for it. Of course like most things I got sidetracked and never got much further than this, but its here if ya want to watch it, hopefully some day I will have the time to learn and create a full tutorial. -> Continue Reading

I decided to go ahead and start making posts on the site, even though the design is not finished, I have no idea when it will so I figured there was no reason to keep myself from posting. I am still not sure where this blog is going, but basically when I have a problem, or learn something new, I will post the solution or what I learned on this blog so that others can hopefully learn as well :)

So for now, sorry for the lack of functionality in the site – it is still a bit of an eye sore as well, hopefully some day soon it will be fully functional. Well, thats what you get when its built from scratch!

Lets create a function that will allow us to create dogs, as many dogs as we want, all with different names, types, etc. -> Continue Reading

Sometimes it is useful to use one variables value as the name for a new variable, in php this is pretty simple:

$name="bob";
$$name="My name is bob";
in php, the variable $bob now contains "My name is bob"

But what about javascript? Well, its actually pretty simple too – not quite as easy as php but easy nonetheless. -> Continue Reading

Hey everyone, just noticed that some people have been visiting the site over the last few days, not sure from where – but the site is still under construction so there isnt much to see. I am constantly learning new things that make me scrap a design and start all over – ahh the joys of technology. Well, I hope you will come back some day when there is actually something here!

During the process of creating this blog I had a problem with the dropdown menus, they used jquery's hover and animate, but if you swooped your mouse over quickly they would open and close and open and close non stop. By default Jquery queues all the actions up which can lead to some problems with certain animations. The fix for me was to use {queue:false, duration:"normal"} inside the animate routine. -> Continue Reading
