Goodbye World

Rumors of my website's death have been greatly exaggerated. The site will, however, be overhauled soonish. (The We page will remain in some form or other.)
on building ajax
2008-06-19 07:28:17
From here:

1. First, build an old-fashioned website that uses hyperlinks and forms to pass information to the server. The server returns whole new pages with each request.
2. Now, use JavaScript to intercept those links and form submissions and pass the information via XMLHttpRequest instead. You can then select which parts of the page need to be updated instead of updating the whole page.


IOW, build the whole thing very cleanly by itself first.

Finished cleaning up the code to be valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. Now proudly displaying the logo in the corner. Continuing work on CSS, once I can decide what I want it all to look like.

Then it's on to PHP/MySQL: adding, removing, and updating features, and cleaning up code. Eugh.
stream 'o consciousness

Idea: a stream of consciousness web page with connected "twitters" - using ajax to control how much of the entire stream you can see at once.

This section should contain how-to's and examples of stuff I can do (like ajax) to create a portfolio.

Should also update the site to XHTML. Oh, and completely redesign the CSS to look more professional. Seriously.

Thanks to work.

A "universal" edit form based on the fields and tables in the database. Pass in an update type, which is checked against a lookup table in the database to see which table is going to be affected, then use another lookup to get all the field names (and their "friendly names") that will be entered.

It could be really handy to have a single module for administration and updating any given portion of the site, even ones I haven't invented yet.
operation overhaul
2007-03-26 16:44:51
I like the look of this site, but its backend is really a mess and I want to do something very different with it. I would rather work with something that acts more like a homebrew wiki, with templates for the various types of pages; sort of a cross between a wiki and a CMS.

I also want the content to be managed in MySQL, which I realize would increase the workload on the MySQL server, but really. My site isn't exactly high-traffic.
change is coming
2005-08-09 02:00:57
Updated the site a bit with an actual stylesheet. Didn't rip out all the PHP theme code, but it was very tempting (also very difficult). Could still prove useful for templating, if it weren't so huge and disgusting. Will have to think about it.

Accomplished: script for rotating or flipping images. Will come in handy for tarot or other gaming needs.
blah blah blah

Whoops. I suppose, if I'm going to incorporate logins, I will probably want to update everything at once - for uniformity's sake.

/me dumps everything into /projects/

-_-;

Also, mental note: add "card game" to projects list.
