So about a month ago we launched the latest customer project.
Storebilleder.dk
It’s a site focused on selling prints on canvas, which is an awesome product. Every functionality was developed in house. The site heavily uses javascript for the functionality for the cropping tool (beskæringsværktøj), which was a requirement for the site.
We chose to use javascript to avoid working with bloated flash or even java for that matter. And we achieved the result that was requested and even more.
I had a scenario where I wanted to see what was on the network at a location.
So I figured I’d just ping them all, man was this a pain or what! So I wrote a script for it instead. :)
And yes, I know there is alot of IP-scanners out there. But what hacker would I be if I used someone elses programs? I wanted my results in my own custom preferences.
The script was developed further on and now includes hostname lookup and logging to file with identification tags of the current place.
The script will ask all the necessary questions. Its quite useful. Check it out!
So i was asked to tell how many lines of code a project was at so far..
After some brain bashing i came up with the following, there is proberbly better ways to do it.. but it seems to work pretty nice.
grep -R --include=*.php --include=*.js --include=*.css --include=*.htm* . * | wc -l
This counts the lines in all the text types i had used in that project.
So after struggling with absolute positioning, i finally came across the following.
* { padding:0; margin:0; }
Above removes the differences, apparently caused by different theories on when there is a margin or not…
So while i was optimizing the graphics for a current project, i fell over this amazing tool… PngOptimizer
It really do what it promises, and so far i have found no problems with the results it produces..
So i was battling with the need to use alpha transparent png’s for a website design, and as we all know IE6 sucks at this..
So i found this on the net: 24ways.org/…
Very usefull indeed…
Tho it lacked the possibility to only target specific areas, it was already supported to be limited to a single id and it’s nested elements. Tho i needed it for several areas, but not the whole page.
So i did a little hacking, and added possibility to have several id’s, probably not the best way but it gets the job done.
Finally, after been talking about starting a blog for a few years…
This blog is mainly gonna cover what i run into while developing code in PHP, TCL, JavaScript aswell as playing with MySQL, HTML/CSS and what else i need to use.
The blog is mainly targetted at myself, as a archiving tool for different snippets and such.
